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

[Hullygully]

What is the point of them?

Really?

Verm - Fitflops are the best thing for your feet. Comfort-a-go-go. I have a squillion pairs, incl boots. Not sexy, not cool, but heaven for the wide-of-hoof like moi.

Ooh what are the boots like Pinot? Having worn fitflops from march to October nothing else feels comfy, worth the investment you reckon?

TVK - your lists are wonderful.

Sometimes - quite often in fact, I wonder why I bother logging onto Mumsnet - then I read posts like yours and it all makes sense.

You might as well say what is the point of old people then? They just clog up the shops and libraries and complain.
Until you get to a 'certain age' don't moan about the 'worth' of another human being.
But maybe the OP is a troll anyway?

Pinot - for the wide of hoof, you say? Comfy? Hm, I might have to look into that.

Rycooler - Sadly I had to resign from list making due to repeated sabotage. I hope those people feel suitably guilty now.

Yeah op is definitely a troll

Lizzen vair carefully, I shall say zees only ONE MILLION TIMES.

Read the thread before posting or you will look like a knob.

HTH

I have Fitflop boots too. You know you are a peri-menopausal Deirdre who has ceased to care about your image when you purchase a Fitflop boot.

Hully! She called you a troll!

I covet Fitflop boots.

Read the thread before posting or you will look like a knob.

Oh yes. You need to read the whole thread. And every single item on every single list.

OP is definitely a troll. Probably a middle aged troll. Oh well.

Connie definitely! The pair I wear now are in year 3 and still look great when I can be arsed to suede-brush them. The ones I have are these but a friend has the Dash boots which are cheaper and they fit the same. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend (and I'm a tight arse with £)

Twas a general guideline, for everyone and for every thread,VK. I am equal ops that way.

Hully ya little fecker . I'm just getting used to the heat, excess hair, memory loss, NOW you tell me i have no point!

I was gonna say something clever, but i've forgotten, stay there it'll come back to me .

You have a point, Vermicious, or at least you would have a point if you weren't so middle-aged. It's absolutely necessary to be MA in order to blame Thatcher for everything, because no younger people have ever lived in anything but the Grasping Individualist culture she so thoughtfull provided

The woman was a disgrace to middle-aged women!

Fellatio's correct about Fitflops, by the way. The son't really make your bum pert but, boy, are they comfy!!

Comfy ... Now there's a lovely MA word ...

You know you are a peri-menopausal Deirdre who has ceased to care about your image when you purchase a Fitflop boot.

The son't - they don't.

That'll learn me to watch the Corrie catch-ups while typing [hblush]

Oh! Oh! MrsD, speaking of practising your street talk, I got properly told off by my 16 year old the other day for saying that somewhere was 'a bit of a trek'.

Apparently, very street teenagers use the word trek and therefore I must not. WTF? Since when?

My sister announced the other day she was quite looking forward to being 'that certain age' as she rarely feels warm she would love the hot flushes! I do love her...

Jeez Fellatio, Fitflops flipflops are bad enough - how ugly are the boots? Bet your going to tell me they're really comfy!

I am a troll. Sad but true

Like wotsherface Kelly telling Wee Louis he couldn't say swagger. Quite right of course.

I have been middle-aged since about 22. It's a very comfortable place to be. Apart from the pointlessness, clearly.

Sue, I think earlier you meant: RTFT

I know a woman who said she breathed a bit sigh of relief when she finally got to 35, beacuse she had always felt sensible and middle aged, and she could finally ignore the pressure to be 'young'. Loon.
