I looked in the mirror this morning and saw my mother looking back at me. Then I noticed a few more wrinkles.
What things to MNs notice that remind them that their getting older?

I can't sit down or stand up without grunting. Or feeling some ache somewhere. I'm not yet 30.

I sometime miss Miners make up. They had a lovely nail polish called Cotswold. It was an earthy green with hints of brown. Also a lipstick by Out door Girl which tasted of honey. Cheap and cheerful.

It's when I say something and realise I am turning into my mother that pulls me up. Like a cushion I once saw
Mirror Mirror on the wall
I am my mother after all

Thank you to all those who have said heather shimmer is still made whoop whoop. Now will it make me look 16 again?!!
If I buy one now though I won’t have saved up for it with my Saturday job money- it will be with my boots points!

I saw a girl yesterday and she looked really lovely and fashionable all i could think is though those heels are really high she must be uncomfortable.

A hangover feels just as brutal as it always did but I don't want to repeat the experience every week like I did in my early 20s.. it's just not worth it! I like to leave months between sessions 😂

I visited my mother this afternoon and noticed a Damart catalogue on the table so I flipped through it before thinking what am I doing.
