She is 20/21 and keeps being sick. She eats the pate food as her teeth are bad and sometimes softened James well beloved. Sometimes tinned sardines or mackerel\tuna

I am not sure if she is ready to be pts as she is still walking about and going outside occasionally and if I mention that to my children they shout me down.
I don't feel I can starve her as her tummy rumbles.

Achh. Seniorboy started frequent vomiting a few years back and that was largely down to his lousy teeth. (He had a big dental which pretty well fixed the problem but your girl is probably too old for that.) It's the very devil trying to tempt them anyway when they're elderly.

When was she vetted last?

She had 2 teeth out about 5 years ago maybe longer.
She really smells as well.
The sick is just food occasionally frothy liquid.

I hope she is not sufferring.

I think I'd be vetting her to see what sort of physical issues she has. It may be that vet advice could help you. (Ignore the DCs' yelps - they often don't have a clue when they're young and if they've always known a particular cat around..........)

I'd take her to a vet too. She might be in pain from her mouth but hiding it well.
