    you can get extra free wrinkles from now on

    And lines.
    And spare tyres.
    And varicose veins.
    And bunions.
    And hairs where you don't want hairs.

    There's no end to the joy honestly!

    "Yeng maaan" when you wish to speak to any male under 30.

    I think we all missed the point Pastuesnew was trying to make.
    This board may be titled "Over 50s Money Saving" but that is a misnomer because as we see above there really is very little of value to anyone aged 50 to 60.
    Once you achieve 60, or as we have seen in other threads on this board 60+, Then all sorts of things kick in.
    This board was recently renamed, by poll, and now carries a misleading title to the detriment of all.
    The only thing that is constant is change.

    I thought I would look and see what's on offer - but nothing really. Also the goalposts have changed for over 60's and by the time you get there it'll have gone up to 66 or 72!!!

    I'm feeling left out, I never had one of those! Just breast screening.

    I've just had the breast screening - aaaaargh!! They said it would be a bit uncomfortable. They squished them completely! (and I'm flat-chested - imagine what it would like if you were Jordan . . .):D

    Knowledge is often mistaken for intelligence. This is like mistaking a cup of milk for the whole cow.

    Look on the bright side. You've got 10 years, or more, of looking forward to all the freebies you get when you're 60, or more.

    There wont be any money left to pay for these soon - the bankers have taken it all to fund their bonuses.
    I am NOT a mortgage & insurance adviser - or anything to do with finance, that was put on by the new system I dont know why?!
