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

I no longer worry about my appalling memory. Now I'm at an age when most of my contemporaries have memory problems too so I can now blatently ask someone to remind me of their name without embarrassment.

I no longer have inhibitions about lots of things that held me back so much when I was younger, plus I don't really care what other people think too much....I do things for me! I enjoy life alot more!

Time passing does'nt bother me now I am 71

Everyday is a Gift thats why its called The Present Enjoy every one!

Early mornings

putting on make up every day! life's too short!

I just couldn't give a monkeys anymore about 'hair-loss'

I do still care about my appearance, getting hair and nails done etc., but am not worried about competing with others or buying ultra smart suits and coats. I am happy to take a step back and enjoy the here and now.

I am more content to 'wait in' for deliveries or tradesmen. I used to feel as if I had missed out on a day if I spent the whole day in the house. Now I am happy to fill the time pottering around catching up on jobs or simply reading or emailing friends.

wearing make up when i leave the house

now its au natural unless a special occasion

The Mortgage

Not as concerned as the other ladies in the changing room!

My hair looking a mess and being scrunched up in a bun, its a freedom i thought i would never have

I love that I no longer care about following fashion and worrying about not being "on-trend", or whatever they call it. I don't go around in a sack but I choose what I like and what suits me and if there's a fashion trend I like, I may buy it but if it's just silly or not for me I can happily ignore it.

needing to look groomed just to go the shops

I no longer worry about dying young! It ain't Gonna happen now!

I agree with others about loving my grey hair. The thing I used to obsess about was matching shoes, bags, gloves etc and the coat had to tone or match - no more! x

speaking out, if people dont like it, tough.

I now don't worry about wearing the latest fashion in clothing instead I wear what suits me and I feel comfortable in.

Making an idiot of myself !!

Now I do not go out to work & have to conform to company rules I have let my hair grow to below my shoulders. Convention always implied ladies of a certain age could not wear their hair long, but if it is in good condition - why not? So versatile.

I dont worry about pleasing everyone I am just myself people like me or they dont (there lose if they dont)

I no longer worry about having lots of friends. When you are younger you feel that you need lots of friends and end up getting hurt by them, age makes you realise that you have many acquaintances but very few are actuality true friends. Life is much simpler with just one or two friends than trying to be popular with lots of people. A true friend is a true friend, which even if you go a long time without contact, when you do meet up again it is as if you only just spoke.

I don't worry about what people think anymore.

farting out loud....

I am no longer bothered about the wrinkles round my eyes - they are laughter lines and show the happiness I have had in my life!
