What no longer bothers you (now you are older!)? You could win a fabulous L'Oreal goodie bag worth £200! NOW CLOSED

Fashion no longer bothers me.

I no longer worry about what I might look like when I try new things. Life is for living, not thinking about what we look like. As a result I have learned to play a brass instrument & joined a brass band, taken up cycling & mountain biking, go body boarding and intend to learn to surf this summer.

Since retiring, I no longer worry about getting to work in bad weather, or getting home.
I wonder why I used to stress about how the house looked, now it's more 'this is how it is'.
Now if L'Oreal want to know what I do worry about , there is another story !!

I wish the hair companies would do a nice grey as I am half way there and look like a bedraggled tabby cat after that just get on with it and enjoy being me.

I now no longer worry about saying what I feel - I used to agree to things which I didn't always want to do, but now I will speak up - think age has given me the confidence to do what I want or what is best for my family.

Being outragious

I no longer worry about my grey hairs.

School lol

I no longer worry about wearing high heels, I can look just as good in some stylish comfy flats.

I no longer worry about being dressed in the current fashion. I now know what suits me best and who cares if it is not fashionable - certainly not me.
I wear what I feel comfortable wearing and often pick up items in sales that no one else wants because they are now 'out'.
I have also learned what suits me in the way of make-up so do not need to waste my money on experimenting but just go to my tried and trusted brands and colours and can make myself quite glamourous, in my eyes anyway, even if not in others.

I really don't care about the way I look now and it's a relief!

I no longer worry about my job. I will probably be made redundant in the next year and I can't wait, retirement is coming ! I do feel sorry for colleagues who are frantically updating their CVs and attending courses but it is sooooo lovely not to care anymore about any of it. I do hope I won't stop caring about my appearance when I retire but I am looking forward to sending all my office clothes to the charity shop.

Trying to keep up with the Jones!

I must admit as you get older you do get wiser.I realise that slip of a girl i once was will never be again lol.So i tend not to stress to much about my weight like i used to. One thing i still do each day is moisture my skin,I am wise enough to know by now if i don't my skin feels all tight & i also need all the protection i can get.

I have really (and I mean really!) curly hair which I used to stress over, always wanting it to be glossy and straight. Now, I just go with it and have learned to love my curls.

I have let my hair go back to it's natural colour silvery grey and I love it. I think now at my time of life that if people don't like it it's their problem not mine. Since I have stopped dying it I have felt liberated lol

Although at 73, I am far from perfect, I am very comfortable in my own skin. I no longer need to pretend to be confident...because, thanks to all my experiences - good, bad and indifferent, I am at peace.

I think that I care less about what people think - I no longer am afraid of making a fool of myself!

Bizarrely I no longer worry about dying after going unconscious a couple of days after a knee replacement op - I didn't know a thing!

I don't worry about how others perceive me, I feel more myself rather than trying to please others

I'm no longer bothered about posting on Gransnet when I really have nothing interesting to say!

I no longer worry about what I'm going to wear when I'm going anywhere - I wear what I like and feel good in and don't care if I'm not dressed the same as everyone else

I no longer feel guilty about having a lazy day, happily reading or watching TV instead of all the manic housework/shopping/socialising/intellectualising activities that I thought used to define me.
I'm happy in my skin, somewhat wrinkly and far from perfect but mine!

I think trying to understand the male species. I used to worry about what my partner thought etc and try to understand the logic but HEY - I have given up - now I don't try to understand them I just accept and carry on ....

If people aren't particularly "nice". That is their problem not mine and I just don't bother with them!! Their loss.
