I am going to be 60 this year, please tell me what I can get!

[WinterGardening]

Because in my mind I am still 37, it hasn't occurred to me that actually, this year, there is a load of free shit I can get when I'm 60!

Pls inform me of what I can benefit from. Buses? Trains?

Don't put it off any longer! Start before it's too late to reap some of the benefits.

Massive protective health benefits. Research shows better than statins at reducing BP, heart disease and cardiac events. It's a licensed treatment for osteoporosis and reduces the risk of dementia.

Get yourself to the Balance Menopause website. Start reading and listen to all the podcasts. The very first one pretty much says it all.

We had an under 5 still when DH turned 60. He was very torn about how to spend all his Parenting Club and over 60s points.

Yes! Free prescriptions at 60. Give HRT a serious consideration x

We should start 1966 club!

Exactly. I never knew this. How does it work??

NHS dentures and tenalady pads?

If you are in Merseyside, you can get a "twirly" card (for free bus and train travel).

You can get s senior railcard (you pay for it, but you get discounts on train travel.

Can't think of anything else.

Let’s do it! A brilliant year to be born. I don’t know, but something special happened xx

That's the spirit - the m word that follows senior is 'management' not 'moment' 😀

My GP gives me a year worth on one prescription.

Depends where you live, In Scotland a free pass for buses anywhere in the country and concessions almost everywhere. Prescriptions of course still free as for everyone of any age

I am of the £19.80 HRT pre paid prescription club. But now I know I can soon get it for free, happy days!

My original post was maybe a little cynical, but now I am seeing that there are benefits to be had.

I did not realise I was old. Class of 66!

It did indeed!

I also long for a European river cruise. If you set up a 1966 cruising club and block book a boat, dp can join and it will be extremely youthful. Relatively.

I was 60 last month - googled what you can get a while ago & there’s more than just free prescriptions but because I’m getting old, I can’t remember what lol 😂

You don’t need to be 60 for that - 55, going up to 57 in 2028

If you ask nicely your OH can buy you a Skydiving gift voucher for your 60th.

See below

60 in April. I only have one item on prescription but, hey, I may as well get it for free! I have pensions with Barclays and the NHS so looking forward to these. I too feel about 37!

OMG, your post gave me palpitations. But I think that was your intention!

I’d join a 1966 club. We rock!

I’ll be 60 in two weeks! 😱😱🫩

I’m in London and discovered I can get a number of visitor parking permits for free from my local council, so if you live somewhere that’s all permit parking, it’s worth checking.
