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

[Hullygully]

What is the point of them?

Really?

So with the RHS - a great garden can definitely ignite a wave of unparallelled passion. Leave the romping to the girls I say, ship in the mail orders from the back of the Mail and Telegraph, sip sherry in the afternoon and ruminate over all the lovely programmes on Radio 4! And stop dyeing my hair! Bliss!

You never think you are are old though, do you? How will we know when we have moved from MAW to OW? I was not aware of going from Young Sexy Fox to Footglove Wearing person who puts stuff in tupperware. It just happened.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Hully was ridiculing another thread that implied that women over 30 or similar were too old to be having the fun. She is not seriously suggesting that we, as in all the women who have posted here, are pointless. That would be silly. The thread is poking fun at some people's ideas of middle age.

Oh and one other thing, veto Botox - what a ghastly and ridiculous practice that is. Wear your unmade bed forehead with pride [hwink]

Unlike so many younger people, I have a teeny tiny mortgage and a huge income so I can spend loads and do my bit for the economy. I also make really nice cakes and buns.

Oh, Hully - good. Go and guess how old Mandy2003 is. Or something. ^^

Oh well, at least it's shown how pointed and pointy we are .....

Don't you think it's rilly bizarre that any single sentient human being could think for even a nanosecond that the op was serious?

I mean, wtf, what planet do they live on? Pore ol them.

Woo-hoo - go for it!

The troubling thing is I don't have any idea how old Hully is!! She could be young and jealous or older and being i-ronic

The Planet Of The Troubled. Rocket's leaving soon, kick on.

Mandy are you 2003?

could filofaxes/pocket diaries/desk diaries go on the list? and birthday books, also pvc tablecloths.

I am nearly 50. Does that help?

FrightNight - sussed, I'm a vampire, mwahahahaha!!

OMG cross posted with Hully's confession

Mandy - it's not a "confession." It's just a fact, I'm not ashamed of it. That would be like being ashamed of grass. Or tulips.

Sort of the point of the thread really.

And so we come full circle. It's oddly beautiful.

Sometimes we're feckless.

Sometimes we're reckless.

But we're never ever pointless :)

Amen to that! Dons agent provocateur hat (not just an underwear company, for the younger contingent).

Shall I say it?

I'm 48

, It's true I a friend of mine who is 50 got dragged to a nightclub by younger relatives and got hit on by her friends son who is about 20 and gorgeous, apparantley. She also reckons her daughters male mates at school think she and a couple of her equally old friends are 'fit'.

So it's not all bad.

But women over 50 start looking silly in Jeans!

It only helps a little bit Hully because I am 51 - and life gets better and better!

Oooh hully, your too cool for school 50, you must be coz in my head you are

Lisbeth Sander! Ha. I must stop seeing faces and lives when on Mn, it can't be healthy.
