	Quote from Opthelia at 23.33 "dementia, incontinence, being dumped in a nursing home etc..." Just to say it is not easy when you have no option but to take that decision on medical advice for your own Mother who needs residential care 24/7. But I myself still feel as if I am the age of my adult children and sadly most of the time when I see my mother she thinks I am her sister! Jx

	Fifty + is much better than forty +. You can start the 'pardon' and 'what was his name' while still being able to (eventually) remember!! And you don't have to dress young. Having said that, I admired the top a young temp was wearing - she said she got it from 'Fat Face'. The next day she admired my top - which I had also bought from 'Fat Face'. Getting older doesn't mean elasticated waisted trousers you know!!! It means walking into shops with your head held high - no matter how young the assistants!!! maggie
