What I see in the mirror....

reading about the whiskey treatment has reminded me of something I heard.

wife..I am going to spend £5,ooo on a boob job.
husband ....no need my dear this will be so much easier and not so painful and an awful lot cheaper

wife is intrigued and asks about this idea of his.
husband ..take one length of toilet paper and fold into half and half again,and then rub in between your boobs.

wife disbelieving...well what good will that do.
husbands parting shot on his way out.
well my darling it has done absolute wonders for your backside...

pompa the message has been relaid to himself he says it may take a while for the results to be published .

Get him to try the whisky treatment instead, see if he thinks that works.

Perhaps we should have a controlled trial.:-

Each wife should buy their husband a bottle of whisky (other medications are available, brandy, rum etc have all been proved to work). Then get his opinion before and after treatment. To ensure that outside influences are not involved, the test may have to be repeated over a few weeks..

mr.glamma has always asked why vanishing cream does not work ?

Carosanta, that just goes to prove what I tell my wife when she spends £20 on a pot of face cream. "I could get a bottle of whisky for half as much, that would look make you look beautiful to me." She hit me !!!! Why, I was just trying to save her money !

What I see in the mirror depends on what I've been drinking. After a cup of tea or coffee mmm mmm, not bad (FMA!) slim-ISH, defo a few lines here and there, and the old jawline, well, could do better. The hair, glad to be grey-ISH, but fairly funky. Nice-ISH smile

But after a glass or two of vino collapso - ravISHing!!!!!! Samantha Brick? Nada! Bring it on Sam!

I look my father, not my mother and my son looks like him too. My grand daughter looks like my fathers mother. The genes are very strong. I take after my dad and his family too and, to be honest, I am happy with that.
GillieB - it's time to treat yourself to a visit to a beautician to have the eyebrows done by someone who can see them!

POGS - !

I think my grandfather must have had a bike. I don't look like my mother or father but I do look like SHREK.

Butternut and Rollon Who I see is what I am and all my experiences and my people have shaped the person who I am today looking in the mirror,I see love,for them,my hands have held small babies,and parents hands,they have been clutched in pain of childbirth by my daughter,they held my mums hand as she passed away,they have soothed babies,children,caressed lovers prepared countless meals and household chores for the people I love,my beloved dog and my animals have all felt that touch....that is what I see ..love. you are so right it is self reflection for a life lived

How does that happen nanachrissy - I thought it was just me. My hair even looks good 'before' at the hairdresser.

I can see my mum-I sound like her as well. Who I'd really like to look like is Carol Vorderman, so I'm always disappointed-just like my mum.

Indeed there is, RollOn. I find it's not the 'who' I see, it's more the 'what' I see behind the reflection looking back.

Nelliedeane - if only we could all think like you.There's more to that reflection than the obvious

Yeah Soft focus, no lenses is best!

I look awful in changing room mirrors but at my hairdressers I look fabulous!

Then I get home!

Is it just me, or do changing room and hairdressers' mirrors always add at least 10 years to the face in front of them?

I think I look like my maternal grandmother I have her nose and cheekbones although my forehead and eyes are my dads. However it is my mother who stares back at me.

Just looked and was surprised to see my paternal grandmother. I rather like that. I may look like her but don't think I can match her wisdom.

When I look in the mirror,I see many different people,amum a sister,a nan,a friend,a partner,an ex wife,I am many things to many people,I look at my hands and think of the stories they could tell,and my heart that says how much all these people mean to me,and hope that looks back at me in the mirror.

Depends whether or not I've got my glasses on. Without them, on a good day I might think 'not bad' but then when the glasses go on, all these wrinkles and skin blemishes suddenly appear and I age ten years.

I hate looking in the mirror apart from when I am putting on my make up when I use a magnifying one. The worst thing I find is trying to pluck stray hairs in my eyebrows - I can't see the wretched things and have to resort to feeling for them.
