    I love my dishwasher and there is only me...…..hate washing up and hate cutting the grass. Love gadgets if they make my life easier. Just bought an electric roller blind for my study - it is magic! Still to track down these soluble dishwasher tablet casings - must check my local T*sco. And getting shopping delivered is fabulous - absolutely no problem with sell by dates - well just the once when they delivered 3 litres of organic milk with a sell by date of only a few days away - they credited my account immediately - and I got to keep the milk! I'm all for making life easier!

    Wonky got a big box of chocolates when Morrison’s delivered stuff with a short date. And they didn’t charge her for the goods and she got to keep them and the replacements 🙂

    The problem for men is that clothes shopping becomes troublesome with age. Once you're out of the 18-30 target marketing age bracket you get stuck in a limbo between young peoples' clothes and old people's clothes. You still kinda fit into your old stuff so you keep wearing it until you wear it out and most of your 30s is spent wearing things you might have bought in your teens. My wife has started buying me t-shirts now so I stop wearing ones that are 20+ years old. Sadly wives always buy clothes for men that are designed to repel the attention of other women (you know you do it :#).

    I'm lucky though. I don't have to worry about going grey as my hair started to fall out in my late teens so I've kept it cropped short ever since. I'm not even sure what colour it is anymore as it's always been a different colour to my beard which is 4 or 5 different colours anyway for some reason.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I've noticed the clothes problem when my husband was trying to get a light jacket. They all looked like delivery driver issue navy or old boy beige. And all the same boring cut.
    A definite gap in the market. That being said, my husband would have been happy to buy either  but I had to use my wifely veto.

    Tried to look at  garden gallery again today. A waste of time.
    I had no problem seeing the tester shots when they were deciding on the limit.

    No garden gallery for me either, but I did put some photos on, greatly reduced though. Other people don’t bother, same with Wildlife thread, I don’t even try to see those.

    Heres a song for all ladies who really shouldn’t be owning up to getting old. I am never going to age, my hair will be blond for as long as I am able to lift the bottle. My clothes will be young styles, and I don’t care if I look like mutton dressed as lamb😀😀
