I used to be very free spirited and I've lost that in recent years I think. Wish I could get that back.

Yes the polishing of toes and cutting the blighters are not as easy as they used to be Mel.I have to have a little lie down after doing one foot before I start on the next.I do them when no-one else is around lol

Uggers when you get to my age thats long gone

an all day event for me now Jane but a girl has to look her best x

Another thought ........getting out of the bath isn't as easy as it used to be.

nope thats defo hard going usually cos I'm stuck lol so much trouble but well worth it x

I used to be able to sit crossed legged and suck my toes (no Sarah Ferguson thing going on here!!!) - now I can only see them with a periscope

None of us can do what we used to be able to do. Sports are for the young - whilst 'exercise' is what we all need - so we change the sports from high jumps to golf to just walking. The body slows down and therefore 'spreads'. That's life! Anyone who tries to fight it, is defying nature.

I'm so glad to read that others have the same problems as I have. Reaching the toes to cut the nails is bad enough - but as we get older, it's a matter of finding the right kind of cutters to do the job! I have to soak my feet for a long time before I can cut the nails - then manipulate the wrist in order to do the job (wrist has the O/A in it - as well as in other places!).

Thats so funny Suzain it reminds me that once (30 years ago) I could wrap my legs around my neck and walk on my hands x

You're so right Berona it's a gradual process aging ang most of us do it gracefully and like someone said earlier we learn to adapt and find new things and new ways for old things I now have more upper body strength last August I captain 19 young girls to win the "tug-o-war" against 20 fit young men a feat I would never imagine as a runner or footie player this year it was gone but I found I could use my voice to encourage them so it was put to much better use x

All the things mentioned seem familiar, plus I'd love to remember what day it is, what we had for dinner yesterday, when did I last change the bed, How old am I? Who am I? What am I? Why am I?...................

Berona, I have given up trying and leave it to the chiropodist now!!

I tried using a Hoola Hoop.It went straight to the ground lol.I used to spin it from ankle up to my neck.Oh those were the days.How many times do I say that these days!!!!!!

bunny hops on my chopper lol now I can barely get on the thing without doin stunts x

Well this thread is so funny, it s a carbon copy of me !! LOL

I'm so glad its nationwide....!!

I tried to climb a wall yesterday to clip the hedge from my honeysuckle and got stuck........ Never did I realized I could NOT do it like 2 years ago ,its caught me up !! LOL

Managed to get down after yelling for hubby......now why did I do that stupid climb ??

lol Marilyn there's nowt as funny as real life x

I never could roller skate but now I wish I'd learnt x

Mel,
