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

I am much more confident and do not worry what anyone thinks, or about making a fool of myself. A little nonsense now and then..

I don't care what people think of me anymore, I am who I am and if people don't like it they don't have to spend time with me!

About my looks....when i aged i realised friends and family were the most important things. I started to not care what others thought of me...with age defiently brings happiness :-)

I am no longer with my grey hair, I quite like it. I think my grey hair adds character.

going grey and losing my hair, but now ive decided just to shave it all off and i wear some funny hats, thats my new hobby hat shopping .

It doesn't bother me about how I look on the beach. There are so many shapes and sizes mine can't be the worst!

i used to get upset when old friends and siblings got together for a night out ect and i never got invited ect,(as moved out of london) parties , since having my son who autistic it changed my life completley , all i care and worry about is my family unit, and how we can all grow stronger each day together x

I am now 45, 46 in March. I don't regard myself as being old at all. I think that it all in the mind. I go to the gym twice a week to do Body Attack workouts etc, do as much cycling with the family as I can. I may be going grey but hey, it can be dyed quite easily. We all look after ourselves much better now days, much better than our parents did.

Having retired, not being defined by the job that I did. I never felt this but others seemed to.

New music, I find it all very manufactured and avoid at all times.

wearing a shorter top, I hate my elbows normally but now I don't care what people think.

What other people think of me, and their opinions of me.

I like who I am, so I don't really care whether anyone else does or not.. except immediate family & friends of course, but I know they like me ;)

Breaking wind in public (blush). When I was younger I assumed I was the only person in the whole world who ever broke wind and would have died from embarassment if it had happened in public. Now I would just say 'excuse me' and carry on with life. It was a revelation to find out EVERYBODY in the world breaks wind (smile) x

I suffer from depression and the black cloud is certainly there right now.

But do you know something ......... it no longer bothers me because I know now from experience that it will pass and I will enjoy my walks along the seashore again soon!!!

My eye brows! I used to pluck my eye brows every 3 or 4 days but now just leave them and do occasionally. They have grey/silver hairs in them anyway now!

I no longer feel self-conscious because at long last I have realised that everyone is so wrapped up in themselves that they really don't think about anyone else!!!
There are some advantages in getting older!

I no longer worry about my fat legs; they haven't seen the light of day for so many years they probably think they don't exist any more....

when you are retired life is to short to keep on worrying about whats around the corner so i always look on the bright side of life

I am no longer bothered about material things i prefer to spent my money on doing things. Also if things go wrong i don't stress as much.

I dress to please myself as I realise strangers are most unlikely either to notice what I am wearing or be judgemental. Comments from my husband/friends are appreciated but no longer sought or worried about my opinion is really the only one that matters to me now. I am honest with myself to know which days I am looking ok and which days not -i do not stress about the "not so good days" anymore -next day might be better!

Time - I stopped wearing a watch the day I retired nearly 4 years ago and it has been liberating!

I no longer care what other people think of me. If you don't like what you see walk away x

I don't care if I wear make up out as I'm not out to pull anymore. I've learnt that of someone likes me they'll like me in my bare skin. Same goes for my body if it's really that important them they're not worth having x

everything that used to stress me out and worry me now goes above my head life is far too short to worry about anything

I don't worry about speaking up if I have something to say. I also used to buy something new to wear whenever I was going on an evening out (probably because I have never gone out that much in the evenings) but now I look in my wardrobe - I've loads of lovely clothes in there and don't feel the need to wear something new like I used to do.
