She never gave me a chance to find out how much it cost , last time I got one it was 8 quid . Now they want 9 ? Off to Spain soon where I can buy an asthma inhaler over the counter for three quid .

Re: Getting old
The hair on your head is being rapidly replaced by hair dropping down from your nose and ears. How does that sort of hair keep growing ?
Re: Getting old
I roll out of bed every morning just the same as 20 years ago, however I find getting up off the floor is definitely taking me much longer, don't want to talk about the aches and pains either.

Re: Getting old
My doctor always tells me when I whinge about things not working when you get older, he always tells me it’s better than the alternative.

Re: Getting old
Quite right..I went for a prescription recently and said to the pharmacist that I didn' t need this before I was old and decrepit. Bless her she said that they were to prevent me getting old and decrepit!ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 3:13 pmMy doctor always tells me when I whinge about things not working when you get older, he always tells me it’s better than the alternative.
Re: Getting old
There were a number of times at home when I would climb the stairs only to forget what I went up for!
But I solved that problem.
I moved into a Bungalow.

Re: Getting old
At least you were in the right car park! A few years ago I parked in one of those spiral things in Norwich and after shopping and sightseeing spent about 45 minutes trying to find it. Searched every space twice before realising we were in the wrong car parkhouseboy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 10:42 pmAbout thirty years ago,I wasn’t even old, I was in Liverpool on business and had parked on the Albert Dock (think it was free then). I came back and spent twenty minutes looking for my car and thinking ‘bloody scousers’ before I found it. I’d just bought a new car and had been looking for the old one. A prophesy of things to come.

That has happened to me too!

Re: Getting old
Trying to educate younger people & seeing & knowing what’s going wrong & in later year’s all the prophecies ring true, it’s often the same mistake you’ve made.
Re: Getting old
That happened to me! Try not to visit docs so when I did get a prescription and went to pay, it was a pleasant surprise...and all you said!Dixie Normous wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 5:39 pmI went to pick up a prescription and offered to pay and the young chemist said it was free . I was confused until she said I was 60 and it’s free . I was bamboozled between joy at saving 8 quid and realising I was officially old.

The free prescription post made me smile, as I was surprised to be in receipt of a free prescription two years ago. However, I know I’m not old as I’m fit and active (Squash/gym/swimming etc), but then again…I look at my lovely big screen telly and it is playing a YouTube video of a log fire
