Depends what you mean by "old age" - I had no major health issues until last year, when I needed a Total Knee Replacement; other than that, I am (besides being about a stone over my optimum weight) fairly healthy at 69, and some of the benefits of being older are the joys of retirement and grandchildren.

It’s (imho) important not to be grumpy, negative, and just focusing on the "bad" things that happen - that’ll age you faster than Melania Trump coming of the Botox injections.

To quote Talk Talk - "Life’s what you make it"

Apart from various parts of the body deciding to be awkward at times, being old is really just a state of mind.

Having said that, there are a few rare occasions when the mind goes on a little walkabout on it's own, leaving you standing in the kitchen wondering why you went there in the first place . . . :D

And it's always on the tip of your tongue until you think more then its gone and you give up. Then a day later you suddenly remember again! That how it happens to me but I think that happens at any age.

Funny you say that. I had to call an engineer out yesterday because my home wasn't heating up in the morning when it was pretty cold after leaving my windows open all night. He done something with the boiler and adjusted all the radiators. Everyone seems to have their own opinion on setup. He said leave the boiler set to 50 increase by 10 in a cold snap and set thermostat temperature to 18. I'm apparently losing loads of heat. Surveyors came two three months ago to assess wall temperatures, damp, heat loss in windows. The guy said government funding is coming in so they will most likely insulate walls, change windows, and look to make other preventive heat loss :shrug:

Sounds like your walls are not insulated well.

I've no idea how good my walls are, the house is maybe 28 years old so can't be that modern and I saw them build it and they had some kind of yellow insulation between the outside and internal walls.

I leave my boiler set to 60 and I haven't had any issues with the house temps and as you know I turn the heating off between 10pm and 5.30am because I'm in bed so it's not needed.

I'm hoping to keep the heating permanently off now until it's needed again in October.

My son lives here now, with his partner and child - we were looking after the four month old for four nights and five days while they had a nice couple of days away in Wales, so there wasn't much chance to "hit the town" (or sleep... :D ).
