Mwah to you. Had me tubes changed today!!!

Ann in Glos, you should try putting your batteries IN - it does help...lol

mwaaaahhh

Edit: Caroline will not use hers so lip reads cos she is stubborn, although she can use the phone, it's peripheral noise that confuses her. Aged BIL takes his out to answer the phone - that makes for interesting conversations.

I am pretty deaf in right ear and OH couldn't undersstand why he got no reaction to 'sweet nothings' on the dance floor when we met....lololol

That's why I'm glad he's my ex Sue!!!
He keeps 'turning up' at our daughter's flat in Brighton, as there is easy access to a lot of clubs there - shame she doesn't like it either!! LOL

I think we should all be open to learning new stuff no matter how old we are but clubbing, Maggie? I don't think I could handle the noise:-))

.....well, my ex is 60, just got a masters in maths - and his hobby is clubbing! (soo glad he's my ex!! LOL)
I got my degree when I was 43 - not brain dead after all - despite the rumours!!!

Mind you, my 7 year old grand daughter treats me like an 'old lady' - something I shall encourage - as it makes her behave!!

Ooh Kate, speaking as the Mum with hearing aids since my late 50s. When you are having trouble hearing there is nothing worse than other people suggesting you get your hearing tested. You really really don't want to face up to the fact that you can't hear properly and may need aids because you have to also face up to the fact that you are getting old. (I am 69). Be gentle with your parents.

That's around our ages too, Kate. I guess I can understand it. I can remember suggesting my father get a walking stick and the look he threw me:-)) I find it amusing most of the time but sometimes it can be a little annoying.

Don't worry, Sue - I find I do it with my parents too, and they're 58 and 60. I keep suggesting that maybe they should get their hearing tested because Mum says Dad mumbles and Dad says Mum can't hear etc etc.

Saying that, they have more of a social life than I do!

.........................................................a slight shift in our relationships with our children. Our daughter told me last night that now OH has retired we should be relaxing more and not get too caught up in the volunteer work we do. Aren't we supposed to be protective of our children not the other way around:-))
