    I think it's never too late, but the older you are the more you need to want to learn, because it's not as easy for the brain to absorb information.

    Finally taking a computer course on how to maintain them, the going to do one on software.
    Telling yourself or listening to others make excuses about why not is a waste, I have done it too often. So now I've stopped and now I learning and you know what, it never is too late.

    If those in their 80's can learn something new so can we

    I don;t think anyone is too old to learn anything. I left school at 16 and worked until I went on maternity leave. The work I did was mostly hotel & bar work and working for catering companies, but when I had marley I didn't want to go back to that but I need to be retrained how to have a different career, so I spent 4 years studying to gain a degree. I think as long as you are committed to doing something you can acheive anything.

    Thanks to Vicky for my great new banner xxx
