Not many are accustomed to performing in front of an audience. Some even get tongue-tied when asked to speak to a group. If you have faced this, then now is the time to take the stage and let the world know that you are a performer. You can sing a song, play an instrument, perform a stand-up act, or even tell jokes. It’s all about interacting with an audience and showing your hidden talents to the world (well, at least you could show it to a small group if not the world). Angry outbursts, irritability or frustration, especially over small or normally insignificant matters.

Dianne Forrester: My family arranged for around 30 family and friends to meet together at a well known hotel. We had a private room and they also arranged for a harp player to entertain us during our meal (my husband makes harps). There was also a special meal arranged at an earlier time with workmates who gave me a big bag full of ‘old people’s stuff’ e.g. incontinence pads, Senior’s card applications, containers for multiple pills etc. – hilarious at the time but a different story as I get older!

3. Learn to apologize

I share the sympathies of Woody Allen when he turned sixty, a while ago: “Practically a third of my life is over.” Following the cost of living increase, money is tight for a lot of us right now. That's why it's the perfect time to look into the benefits available to you and how they can help save you some money right now. Seriously, when was the last time someone in the NHS bent the rules to help you or a member of your family out? Exactly. Two days ago, for me. I wonder if privatisation will discourage that sort of thing. If you don’t feel the bite of the entrepreneur bug, but still want to stay connected and earn money. How about becoming a consultant? Judy Ralph: Went to Kuranda for the weekend with my husband, two sons and daughter and daughter in law and son in law and five wonderful grandchildren xxx was wonderful and they arranged a photographer to take photos on the day thanks everyone.
