To think that middle aged women are really a bit pointless?

[Hullygully]

What is the point of them?

Really?

Hully i ain't fussy!

Am counting down...

Cup of tea notelets? Nice! I have random ones with dresses and flowers on them.

I have hot buttered crumpets and a nice pot of Earl Grey - anyone?

Yes I'm starving. Have just stuffed down a load of toast, but always room for a nice crumpet

Oh yes please! A nice cup of Earl Grey is just what I need. :)

I've got most of this shit mentioned.

I'm 40 soon and instead of buying another chicken-shaped piece of cack I'm going to get pissed and go to a gig and get oral in the cinema.

You gotta have goals

I just made an apple crumble cake because I had apples and eggs to use up...

Can we add "using things up" or is the list closed now?

Its alright for you lot with your earl grey and crumpits, I'm middle aged and still stuck at work! (although I do have a very fit 30 something man sat next to me) [hwink]

The point of them is surely to provide free childcare to prop up the economy and reduce the need for subsidised places?

Can we add "using things up" or is the list closed now?

Hmpf. There is no list. People have spoilt it. [hangry]

[henvy] at elastamum, I'm middle aged & at work with no fit young man next to me. I'm so middle aged I had to think about what "get oral in the cinema" meant. I had visions of LaurieFairyCake being a bit shouty in the cinema!!!!

Storing ONE spoonful of potatoes in tupperware for yer Dad's lunch tomorrow

Can I come on board, I have the list. couldn't be arsed with alphabetical order though

Using things up is a doozy. I will be having a cold potato, some of DD's leftover sweetcorn and a veggie sausage worked into my supper tonight. All saved in my tupperware.

Middle aged orgasms are MUCH better than young'un ones.

All multipley and great for the skin.

Fuck the list.

Can we add "using things up" or is the list closed now?

Hmpf. There is no list. People have spoilt it

Our point is that we don't like silly, shouty little girls

I am totally and utterly pointless and I have been for years. I've been pointless since I was about 32, I'd say. I did find a point once, but it didn't really suit me, so I chucked it.

Oh well done Mme Lindor.

Fuck the list.

[hshock]

Oh go on then, I'm a bit sick of the list anyway. Especially as MmeLindor has messed up the alphabetisation up.

Who's seen the other thread about this one?

This 42 year old is still bringing up Primary school aged children. I think they see the point of me, as does DH.

lets hope mn hq now delete this one

I haven't actually read this thread but now I've just glimpsed MmsLindor's list my curiosity is piqued.

FannyNil, is that a suggestion for the list? I'm not sure it's in the spirit.
