Yes, it makes sense. I've had to educate my family with regards to my advancing years and learn to say no. They get used to it, eventually.

Ive started down that road myself. It aint easy, but has to be done. Cant be the family brick forever and ever. 

indeed ,i'm too accommodating and take too much on and need to say no 
saving friends and family time and money is costing me time and money 

I've made a start though 

I think a lot of kids assume that Mum and Dad are a permanent fixture and always there, then all of a sudden, they aren't. SWMBO had a minor stroke just over a week ago and that made them sit up. Luckily she got away quite lightly but has weakness on her left side which seems to be slowly improving. Early days though.

Hope things improve and it's a speedy recovery 
it's only a month till Christmas  Who's going to cook the turkey 
 

Welcome back Dave, hope things go well for you.

Sorry to hear that Ronny. Hope she makes a full recovery.

Sadly Reform does seem to attract some "odd" characters , this isn't going to do them any favours

Cant imagine why she didnt find it amusing.

Hope you're 'lot going on' wasn't anything serios.

thanks 
Just life's 'ups n downs'
I seem to be too busy putting fires out all the time, rather than getting ahead and preventing them, though many are unavoidable/beyond my control anyway
if that makes sense

My second wife was Lorraine. I used to constantly sing 'I can see clearly now Lorraine has gone'. She wasn't amused, miserable cow.

Dropped my Omega in for MOT today
passed but advisories for "rust on rear coil springs" 
not the end of the world 

Where've you been, bollöcks? 

Well I haven't been outside ,cleaning surface rust off coil springs all year ,clearly 

Just had a lot going on

Hope you're 'lot going on' wasn't anything serious. Glad to see you back
