Deflation

[Skwoddy]

I don't mind growing old, but I flat refuse to grow up.

He he he, I got , I like your hair miss do you dye it to cover all the grey like my nan does , as if I would * whistles innocently

Age is just a number after all dolly, it's what you've achieved in them that count!

[sue1952]

Unfortunately age comes to us all but as Skwoddy says, we don't have to grow up I'm looking forward to my 61st birthday cos then I'll really be looking forward to my 62nd when at last I'll get my pension and my bus pass Raffles it's your house and you live in it how you wish Nobody ever keeled over because of untidiness )I remember my late darling mum, she never started driving till she was 63 and passed her test after the 7th attempt, she went paragliding at 70 and took up a car maintenance course at the age of 65 Don't think I'll be paragliding or car maintaining but I hope I never grow up I have twin grandsons of 2and a half and there brother is 5 so not much chance of slowing down and you know what wrinkles are the sign of living your life and experience. Happy laughter lines I say

Dolly what are you worried about your only 5yrs old !!!! my friends child always turns nums around so at 7 she was 70 and at 40 you are 4 so at 50 you are 5, so go get a cake with 5 candles, im only 25 according to the logic so to hell with it l won't argue that logic !!!

Hey Dolly, that's why children should be seen & not heard;)

Don't worry Dolly, it is just a number. I hit the big 5-0 yesterday and strangely enough don't really feel any different today (well apart from the killer hangover) :-/Have had a great weekend, being spoilt rotten by my lovely hubby and kids, so definitely no complaints here.

Good job these big 'uns only come along every 10 years though, my liver would be in big trouble otherwise.

Have a lovely day when it arrives

50? No age at all, these days.
The past near-decade since my 50th has been one of the most productive ones in my life and I still didn't get as much done as I had planned to. I reckon I'll just have to keep plugging away.
Mind you, I wish I was 50 again, before the the knee-pain started bugging me.

Hi,
50 I wish I was 50. I'll be 63 in July and still feel like an 18yr old. Trouble is I can't catch them any more and if I did catch one I'd forget what i chased them for in the first place.

Seriously, 50 is young these days, you're in the prime of your life.
Phil

This morning I sat here comtemplating my 50th birthday in 5 weeks time. I started off quite glum about it wondering where all those years went. I even took out a mirror and convinced myself my face wasn't that bad for my age.
Then, this afternoon, my little 5yr old grandaughter came over to watch Rapunzel movie with me. We had a lovely cuddle long cuddle on my chair. At the end of the movie I went to get myself a drink in the kitchen. She came running out there with a toy fairies wand. She said to me " Nanny, shall i turn you into a fairy princess with my wand?" Before I had a chance to answer she blurted out " Oh no, you cant be, you will just have to be an old one"

DEFLATED!!!

I'd consider myself very lucky if i were you, the other day my little boy got on the bed for a cuddle with me and said "do you know something mummy" i said "what" thinking he was about to tell me how much he loved me , and he said "when you lie down your boobs go from side to side"

Perky may be gone, but Pinky's still there, surely?

LOL!!! and i bet he is besotted with them like all little boys

My GD is. She is alway poking them to make them wobble!! A few months back she came to stay and said she could not get undressed for bed in the lounge because she didn't want grandad to see her boobies, so i said to her "BOOBIES???? All you got there is a couple of bee stings. She laughed her head off and now calls them bee stings to anyone who wants to know

Skwoddy has it right & it's only a number, you never actually feel any older, so don't worry about it.

Belated happy birthday wishes, Smudge & early birthday wishes to you, Dolly.
