Are you

Thanks jane. What does BB stand for and where do I buy it?

Can you tell I am desperate for a glow?

BB cream is a really good general purpose moisturiser/illuminator/primer/foundation, but quite light. So it doesn't tend to clog and settle into creases. They do vary of course, but generally they are easy to put on and cover the worst of anything.

Yes, facial products save the day, don't they.

What's BB Cream - does it mean I can miss out the middle man?

In fact I bought some more this morning. The usage has started to creep down to the chest area.

Me too! From deathmask to passable human in 2 minutes.

The only "glowing" effect I get is when I put on some BB foundation cream on in the morning to make me look half human.

But any of you who read my post about the dreadful night we had in a lovely country pub in May will perhaps remember that the couple who kept us awake all night long, FIVE times, once an hour until 5am, were probably just over 60? Also the next morning they went off in separate cars! We had no idea that we had been listening to a bonkfest, we thought it was someone trying to break into our room or the hotel. I asked them the following morning at breakfast if they had heard the loud banging. She smirked and looked down, he carried on eating and said calmly, 'Yes, it was our headboard knocking on the wall'! We both looked like death the next morning, they both looked fresh as a daisy.

The previous night, I had thought what a loving couple they were. So discovering that they were probably on a dirty Viagra-fuelled weekend was a bit sad. They weren't all that loving in the morning.

I think gn was offered the chance to partake in that survey.

CBA for me.

I echo what Charleygirl said!

So that's why my glow went. I thought it was just dehydration by the way this was on the 7oclock channel 4 news last evening. It sort of put me off my tea. It gave my husband a thrill though. He thought his dessert might be a bit more interesting. ..it wasn't

Chance would be a fine thing.

Well I think the people they interviewed were probably doing what most people in surveys do i.e. exaggerate, avoid or lie.

Most of my friends are over 60 - some considerably so - and I can neither imagine them going at it like rabbits or using rampant rabbits. Women who are having a lot of sex get a glow about them and a look in their eye. None of my friends are glowing.

Ana I was 15/16 in 1969 so really missed the 'swinging 60's sexual revolution ' to be honest I'm sort of hoping this new sexual revolution' will pass me by. I simply do not have the energy.

Yes, I suppose even a couple of years does make a big difference when you're young.

I'm 66 and 'Yes' but not the STIs. Talking about Rampant Rabbits, a work mate of mine was bemoaning the fact that she was single and frustrated. Another collegue offered her the loan of her Rampant Rabbit as 'I am now in a very satisfying relationship and don't need it any more' Needless to say the offer was refused.

My sister was born the same year as Kiora. She thinks of herself as a seventies person as she was at school in the sixties and never had any money to spend.

Just a bit too young to appreciate them? I was gutted when I finally made it to Carnaby Street in the 70s and it was very sedate. There were amazing photos on the walls of people in surreal outfits walking along the Kings Road, nothing like what was worn by then. I spent all my pocket money sneaking up to London on the train, hoping to see something exciting going on! I had been travelling up pretty regularly at weekends for three years, going to all-day clubs, when my father gave me a lecture on the dangers of going up to London should I ever feel the need, because I was liable to get picked up, drugged and become a white slave. I didn't like to tell him that I probably knew more than him about what and who to avoid by then.

Kiora, if you were 60 last year, when you joined, how can you have 'missed' the 'swinging 60s'?

If only !

anno it must be the subject matter fuddling your brain

Somehow lost concentration and repeated myself there, but you know what I meant!

Makes you wonder where they got the sample they used. They didn't send a questionnaire to Gransnet. I wonder where all these over-60s get the energy. Just wait till they have to work until they have to work until they're 67.
