Gertrud's receipts and insurance papers are a right mess, but when it comes to her pills she can tell you which one she took, for what reason and how it affected her, all the way back to 1989.

It started with my daughter wanting money. I pretended to be hard of hearing - something us elderlies sometimes do, I'll admit. If I get an unpleasant question, I'll wait a bit first and pretend not to have heard it. If the person insists and I still don't have a witty reply, I'd smile, hold my hand to my ear and ask "Sorry?". The important thing is to smile and back off a bit, as they'll bellow the question again.
