My dh is younger too, he's 38.
As for being younger than Madonna, true, but believe me I haven't worn quite as well as her.

My dh is younger too - 37. He is getting really worked up about being 40, poor lamb!

And remembering fashion from the first time round! All this gipsy skirt stuff has been done before, not that I would possibly admit to any delights from Laura Ashley in my past!!

Yes, the 80s had fantastic music. Why does everyone slag it off these days? What really gets me is that here we are in 2005 & the stuff I was wearing when I was about 12 is now seriously fashionable. Can't anyone come up with something new? At least the '80s were new, even if they did have their naff side.

gingerbear - those were the songs I was drunkenly singing and dancing to at my 40th birthday party (cringe) and my friends have the video to torture me with.

18th september here and gingerbear, Dancing Queen was the first single I bought.

gingerbear · 27/04/2005 22:06

Laura, we will have to exchange cards then.
Virgos are better at remembering stuff than Librans

I was a size 10 the last time i wore a gypsy skirt.
