What Makes You Feel Your Age?

nellie your lucky you can see the grey hairs in the "basment" ................my middle age spread gets in the way

Hi frida not seen you around for a while hope you are ok

going bald'down there!

thanks Anagram it either those or give up the cavorting,laughing...leaping can live without too active would like to be slim like the woman in the advert,actually wouldnt mind the man where she gets her dress caught in the lift...wouldnt happen like that in Nellie's world the whole flippin lot would rip and I would be standing there in my flesh coloured full size compression knickers and the contents of my bag including discreet pack of tena lady would roll across the floor..think that might be more than an oops! moment

Psst, nelliedeane...Tena Lady! Then you can leap around, laugh and cavort like the woman in the advert....

Oh nelliedeane!

laughing so uncontrolably that the tears roll down my legs

Yes my children are in their 40 as well but what makes me feel my age is my hair. My crowning glory is no more and I do miss it. It is now greying and dry and in windy weather looks spiky. I went to funeral in that cold weather and felt that my hair was such a mess, I went out next day and bought myself a hat. So like the queen I will go to special occasions with my hair covered up and behaving itself.

Happy Birthday for yesterday green! I had 3 & 5 year old grandsons for the day and a sleepover yesterday, so not much time to switch on the lap top and I missed your special day. Sounds as though you had a wonderful time! I'm going to treat myself to that shampoo as well, it sounds gorgeous.
Well done with your smaller size....Hooray!

PS Looking after two very energetic little boys makes me feel my age!

Thank you so much to everyone for my birthday wishes, wine, cakes and bouquets!
Like many of us, my youngest 'child' is 40 plus now. For the last few years, he'd shaved his head, but now has let his hair grow in - and it's pepper and salt coloured! I think he's been as shocked as I have!

As I have mentioned elsewhere I have an older brother (by four years). He told me he knew he was getting old when he had to take a "Nana nap" in the afternoon!

No facial hair ,not much eyebrows left,
yes climbing stairs and the fact that my youngest child will be 50 this year!

I am also sending you ((hugs)) and for your birthday green sounds like you had a lovely day shopping.Enjoy the rest of the week-end.

Happy Birthday green I hope you had a great day!

green HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY. So sorry not to have sent good wishes sooner. Hope that you had a lovely day.

I didn't feel my age until I realised that none of my children were under forty, scary !

Happy birthday green such a nice treat, Molten Brown products are gorgeous aren't they.

Happy Birthday Green, thanks for the reminder about the shampoo, I feel like a treat too (having had a head cold, YUK!) Shouldn't moan, first one this winter. Oh dear we're in Spring now, I'm always a bit behind!

Enjoy it green the only way to have gin very large

Happy birthday,*green*, and many of them.

Thank you, glass! And now, after having being able to eat only a bit of my Indian takeway (hopefully due to much shrunken stomach ), I'm having a very large gin!!

green happy birthday, you're a mere learner yet

green many happy returns on your birthday, I hope you have had a lovely day. How fantastic buying a smaller size

Well - seeing as it's my birthday, I think I'll get away with it grannyactivist did a Product Review on it - it's Molton Brown's Radiant Lili-pili hairwash. Both it and the conditioner are £18, but the assistant said that the shampoo would last about 6 months and the conditioner would last even longer as I'd only need to use that after ever second wash at most. Gorgeous perfume! We are worth it, aren't we, crimson?!
Thank you Anagram! And I do know what you mean about being exhausted after having the young ones for what you see as only a short time. My husband is nearly 73 and I find it's more trouble trying to keep him happy when we've got young visitors, than it is to have the young ones visit!
