Congrats nanaej.
If nothing else, you can keep yourself in Gin and cigarettes.

yes alison you are right.. sometimes even younger when no-one is looking grin & glammaI am sure I will find some little treat wink and will be back to 60 next birthday!

nanaej Welcome to the club and I certainly hope you are going out to treat yourself out of the "wonderful amount" of back pay you have accumilated, I had a lovely lollypop bought for me on my 60th birthday from a dear friend and it was iced with "now counting down from 60" so ever since as far as I'm concerned I am going backwards.flowers

Nanaej you are only as old as you behave, so you can still be 30 if you want to grin

I am officially a pensioner as today I activated my state pension! Apparently I could have been collecting it since January so a bit of back pay due ...how nice as it softens the blow of admitting I am a certain age on the outside whilst in my head I am about 30!!!
