I also wish there were more public toilets in towns as although I`m not elderly at 63 I now find I have to limit my time away from home unless I know where I can find a toilet if I need one. I have seen a woman helping her two children to relieve themselves at the side of the road two where everyone driving passed could see them. These council cuts are now going a step too far.

I now feel able to help someone who needs CPR. I also think this demonstration should be shown regularly on the television, during the adverts would be a good time. Thanks

I love reading but books can be hard to hold when travelling. This lightweight kindle sounds ideal. Here`s hoping I can win one. Thanks

Jean177 has the right idea let all the churches across London ring their bells instead at no cost to anyone.

I change my bed linen every ten days or so. I have never ironed sheets or duvet covers life is too short. I might iron pillowcases if guests are staying though. I always open my window whatever time of year to air the room.

Never heard of these lights before they sound wonderful. I do a lot of reading and often get eye strain, I would love to win this prize.

I say Good Luck to them. People moan about taxpayers paying for the Royal Family so if Prince Harry and Meghan want to pay their way and live the life they choose, what`s wrong with that? Let`s hope the Queen and Prince Charles will support them.

Just heard drinking more water helps beat arthritis pain too

My husband did all our long distance driving but alas he died suddenly last year so now I am getting my confidence back slowly to drive. I used to enjoy driving but it`s just a matter of getting from A to B these days sadly.

I only drive locally now and that`s bad enough with drivers trying to get on my back seat and ignoring speed signs. If I go visiting I always take the train for long distances now. Much better and no stress.

yes

I enjoy writing and sending Christmas cards it`s always been a part of Christmas. I deliver most by hand and only have about 6 to post. I like the idea of a special Christmas card rate that would help everyone. I give to charities all year round and love receiving cards so I will carry on this tradition.

I guess a real tree is better as you can recycle it afterwards but if these trees are good for the environment outdoors why cut so many down. I feel guilty now as I have a large faux white tree which has come out for years and still looks good. When I decide to get rid of it I will take it to my local charity shop hoping someone else will use it.

Sorry you feel as you do Margaret but do not be fooled by Boris as soon as he gets in he will sell our NHS to Trump for sure. He`s telling lies believe me.

I will be voting labour as I am working class and although Jeremy Corbin would not be my choice as prime minister I say let`s give him a chance. If he does not help us waspi`s, the NHS, build more affordable housing and help put more funding into education then he will not get a second term in office and he knows it. I opted to leave under the lies from the conservatives but my eyes are open now and I would now vote to stay in.

I retired when I was 52 through a slipped disc but lived off my husbands income. When he died suddenly last year I made a claim for pip and thank god I was accepted as this is my only income thank god I have some savings to help me too. I am now 63 and have another 3 years to wait for my pension which means I will have lost out on over £50.000. If Labour can do something about this I say give them a chance. Please read all JROBINSON posts below she seems to be the only one making any sense of this issue.

I watched the programme to help me decide who to vote for, unfortunately I am still undecided as this turned into a slanging match.

I haven`t seen the previous series but have watched seven episodes of The Crown so far, on a rainy day. The acting is superb and each episode covers a different topic. I have learnt a lot about the royal family from The Crown that I didn`t know before. Being Welsh I particularly wanted to watch the Aberfan disaster episode. My granddaughter was playing one of the children who was buried, it was quite harrowing to watch the coal tip approaching the school. Great effects. I remember it well as I was ten at the time it happened. Please don`t comment on something you haven`t viewed.

Love Morrisons

I too have narrow feet and I only buy Clarks shoes these days which are comfortable and last a long time.

I hate them but If they are outside I don`t bother them and they don`t bother me, but if they dare to enter my nice clean home then they`ll suffer the consequences. I cannot live with them sorry.

I have always kept a dog until a few years ago but due to mobility problems I will just stick with my cat for company now. Also it is much easier to ask a neighbour to feed him than pay for kennel fees when I go visiting my family in England.

I`m sure my little granddaughter would look lovely in these organic cotton clothes and made in Britain too, what could be better.

Love my slow cooker but it has seen better days I would love to win this one it sounds wonderful, here`s hoping!

I think most people these days book online hence the decline in travel agencies. I prefer to stay in this country now and going by coach couldn`t be easier.

So fed up of meat and two veg would love to eat just veg. This book looks inspiring.

Everyone over 75 should receive a free tv license, these pensioners have paid for one all their lives. Yet again the government seeking to save money hits the poorest and most vulnerable in society. Come on and do the right thing by these hard working people, if not at least reduce the fee by half for them.

My husband died suddenly last year with no warning, aged 65. We had made wills so I knew he wanted to be buried, but that`s all I knew, he didn`t like talking about death. So probate wasn`t a problem. I wrote his eulogy and arranged the funeral with my daughters help. I`ve now told my daughter most of my wishes so that when my time comes I hope things will be easier for her to cope. So talking about your wishes is important,

I too think she looks like the Queen. Beautiful child.

I too worked in retail over the years and it was a pleasure to assist people and have a chat with them whilst serving. We should not loose this human contact it is important. It teaches small children manners and politeness.

Good doctors would never vaccinate a sick child. My granddaughter had a slight cold and couldn`t have her jab until she was better.

Automation may be convenient for some but not for all. I too like to speak to someone whilst paying for my purchases, whether at a supermarket or corner shop. It`s the personal touch and we should never loose that. With more job losses there will be more people turning to benefits and food banks. This country is going to the dogs.

Hi Amycakes I`m so glad you`ve found an outside interest for yourself. The Group you have joined sounds wonderful. I`ve been staying with my daughter, babysitting but when they move house next month I will be back home. There are lots of things I want to change in my house which will keep me occupied but I will also try and make time most days to get out and about. I too considered moving nearer my daughter but I have so much family around me that I`m staying put. Feeling a lot better too, still get a few bad nights though but learning to control them and remember happier times. Good luck to you too.

If all children had been vaccinated there would not be a measles epidemic. I think one of the main reasons people are not having their children vaccinated today is the cruel way the jabs are being administered. They give two at a time, one in each leg and then the last time my granddaughter had hers at one year old she was going to be given four, which meant two in each leg at the same appointment. My daughter refused this and made two appointments for these four injections. It is traumatic for the child and the parent watching this. If the babies could have their injections as before one at a time as years ago I`m sure many more parents would comply.

I have an artificial tree which comes out every year. It is boxed but now I`m on my own I will be replacing it with a smaller one, maybe a fibre optic one and my old one will be passed on to a charity shop for someone else to use along with the baubles and tinsel too. We need real trees to help against global warming so please let`s leave them alone.

I have never tried hotter shoes but as I`m getting older I find one or two, more expensive pairs of comfortable shoes will last me a couple of years. I would love to win a pair of these, so fingers crossed I might. Thanks.

I love a tasty strong cheese and I love hot cross buns so this sounds lovely. I would definitely try it. Just hope other Supermarkets sell it as I don`t shop at Waitrose.

I love wine so as long as it`s in a nice glass and chilled I`m okay thanks.Oh I don`t buy red but wouldn`t refuse a glass either. ha ha

I love chocolate and I love cheese, but the very thought of an easter egg made of cheese makes me want to gag. I will not be buying one of these.

I use contactless cards, pay online for items and use internet banking but I still like to have cash in my purse too. Paying with cash makes you value everything you buy more. Also how can we teach children the value of money with a plastic card. No I say we shouldn`t accept a cashless society in the future, I certainly won`t.
