Poppet's bio
Had to give up work at 60 due to health and employer issues. Should get my first state pension payment next month, Yippee. Husband retired in October so now have a fight each day for the daily paper. Also suffer from anxiety so won't leave the house by myself but hoping to get out more now I have himself at home, will wait for the better weather though. Has been a nice calming effect having husband home and has stopped my constant cleaning, cleaning. cleaning..... Thank goodness I kept my extremely ridiculous sense of humour during all of this and my previous stroke some years earlier. -

Win £100 to spend at Pavers Shoes!I do like Pavers shoes and the fact they sell Flyflots as I can't wear shoes with backs without tights so these are brilliant for the summer. Nice width in the shoes too. Good company all round actually.ViewDate:

Win a pair of shoes of your choice from Hotter!I would feel a tad guilty if I won this prize again but can't resist entering as the shoes we had last time were so, so comfortable and I was good enough to let the husband have a pair as well :)ViewDate:

Home emergency cover and mobility scooters insuranceHurrah, hurray, I went back in and started from the beginning and this time the price started out at the discounted price, Delighted now :) Thank you Silversurfers.ViewDate:

Do you renew your insurance policies on a comparison website or via a broker?Hi, I am trying to buy this Surewise emergency policy but, when I reach the payment section, as far as I can see,there is no box to enter Silversurfers to receive the additional discount. I have sent them a message as this seems a good price compared to what we are paying to Homeserve. Not a request for help just mentioning it in case anyone else is having problems. Do hope we can get this as it covers, much much more than we have and, even at full price, sounds brilliant.ViewDate:

Will you be buying any Cadbury Creme Eggs this year?No Shunter but they soon knock a hypo on the head! I think the new company is a total disgrace the way they lied about keeping the factories open when they had already planned to move the production to Poland. Hate liars. They don't taste the same but I still eat them, not often and a box can last 6 months. Hated it when they altered the flavours in the Roses selection as well as they added coffee cream :(ViewDate:

Will you be buying a tin of Quality Street this Christmas?We only bought them, begrudgingly, as we give them to our doctor's surgery each year. We won't be buying them for ourselves. We also bought Roses for a friend in a care home. I think we will be changing over to biscuits in the future as this are better value for money if you buy them when on offer and we buy them for our newsagent to say thanks for the brilliant service of delivering out paper throughout the year. We do leave a tip for the paperboy but it is the shop that organises it all. The reduction in size takes half the pleasure away! Fed up with these greedy companiesViewDate:

Would you take an anti-ageing pill in order to live until 120?I couldn't bear to live to that age if my health were to deteriorate even further. This would be great if it relieved the dreadful symptoms of Alzheimer's though. I'm a bit concerned now as I have been on Metformin for over 15 years and then I was also put on insulin. I did offer some to husband as I'm generous like that :-) Metformin I mean, not insulin! Just imagine the knock on effect of the pension payments.ViewDate:

Win a 6 night holiday to Munich and Royal BavariaWe were posted to Northern Germany during 1979-1982 and had a short trip to Munich as brother-in-law was posted there. We saw King Ludwig's castle but didn't have time to see much else. Loved Germany :-)ViewDate:
