Hello everyone! I only signed up yesterday; so very new to how to get around here and how to do things correctly. For instance I really don't know what is expected to be put in by 'Thread', so I hope I have done that correctly. I am 72 years old and have not caught up with all the office /computer jargon yet. I am a window with four grown-up children, and four grand-children. I have health problems, so classified as 'disabled'. My youngest son (50 years old), a trained elderly persons nurse lives with me, and is my 'Full Time Carer' with assistance from the government - he gets paid to look after me; so we both live on Government incomes. That being so, I am sure we are going to find the help and advice of the Seniors Discount Club very useful. When working I was a fully qualified Dressmaker and even made it to become a Factory Supervisor for Berkertex, in Plymouth, England, by the age of 18. Then I got married aged 21, started to have children, and travel the world with my husband who was in the forces. Have lived in Malta and Germany for 4 years each. My hobbies are Art, drawing and painting, and Gardening. These days, with health problems, I employ a gardener; so my interest in plants is mainly aimed at indoor plants.
