Went to my Uncle' s 100th birthday party last October. At his 90th he was still discoing with the best of us right up by the speakers as he is profoundly deaf and he feels the music. At his 100th everyone gathered in the bar of the venue and then when we were to go into the function room someone was going to walk in with him, but he ushered everyone in first because he wanted to make his grand entrance. He's just fantastic - he'd lost his 2nd wife just a few months earlier and we thought he might not make his birthday because he was heart broken again and he became quite ill, but everyone rallied round to support him and he bounced back again. So resilient.

I'm only just in my 50s and I'm a great aunt. Do you have any great relatives born yet or still alive?

Both, in tablet or capsule form, depending on what I'm washing in the machine, liquid for hand washing tho.

It's my Aunt's 90th birthday tomorrow,
How old is your eldest relative.?

I like to by classic pieces that will last, and just update with cheaper brands of seasonal fashion. However, shoes are my downfall, OH says I have too many pairs.

Do you use laundry powder or laundry liquid ?

n

They are green and I suspect they are over 10 yrs old.
Dau has just bought a fashionable coloured stripy pair! Cost a bomb !

Do you tend to buy fashionable items or more practical for the seasons..?

Yes, We had snow here this morning ...again,

How old are your wellies?

Good idea, there would be plenty of contestants here.

Do you live in an area prone to snow ?

No cos I don't go out.

What about the gold medal for the tea tray event?

Really fed up with it,cos we have ice underneath the snow.
I bought one of those big orange snow shovels yesterday and is marvellous for fresh soft snow, clears it in a minute.

Are you wary of walking in the snow?

After the main snows thawed we've had occasional small flurries since. There was a little bit yesterday that came to nothing and it's a possibility we'll get some next week too.

It's lovely at first when it's all fresh and snowmen get made and kids are playing snowballs, but aren't you getting a bit fed up with it now?

No unfortunately :(
I live in S Wales, if I lived nearer I would join the queue to try and get a ticket:)

Have you had snow? we are getting it every day !

Don't mind watching Rugby if someone has it on but not a great fan. I prefer tennis. When we lived nearer I used to take a picnic for the Wimbledon queue and usually had some strawberries to share out with people in front and behind us.

Have you ever been to Wimbledon?

Do you like watching Rugby Union, especially the 6 nations games ?

n

No I manage my own nails. I'd rather go to the dentist than the hairdresser but I've been going for 2 yrs now..I just think of all the money I've saved over the yrs. My hair is curly and does it's own thing!!

Do you follow the rugby internationals now the 6 nations has started..?

Yes, I go regularly to the hairdresser for a cut & blow dry.

Do you have a manicure/pedicure on a regular basis?

K

Yes, but some of my teeth are close and it makes them bleed sometimes

Do you go to the hairdressers regularly , for a cut ,blow dry or something else ?

I use an electric toothbrush mostly but also have an ordinary one.

Do you floss as well ?

I'll answer my own question, as someone has deleted.

I'm 5.4 and 9st , so quite happy with my size. I think it's average for my age.

Do you use an ordinary toothbrush or a battery operated one ..?

Not really ,other than me buying him chocs or a nice bottle of wine(if they are on offer( lol ).

Are you the average weight for your height..? Bet no one wants to answer this one other than the lucky /health conscience / fit guys !
