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

[Hullygully]

What is the point of them?

Really?

I am a bit confused now. I came on to this thread believing myself to be well and truly middle-aged (49) But, with the exception of apostrophes, I don't see anything on that list that I am remotely concerned with. I would have said that this applied more to my Mum's generation (she is 79) and I expect she would be entertained that anyone considered her still middle-aged.

I want lots of those little gold stickers with my name and address on. They would be very handy.

What about voluminous linen outfits? And Danish spectacles?

I can do what I like, Hully, I'm at an age where I don't care what people think anymore

List, Paggy, List!

When did MAW get so unruly?

Novelty egg cups

Nothing wrong with a nice voluminous linen outfit

looking at the list, i suddenly feel we DO need to get rid of all this stuff now.

esp Alan titchmarsh. annoying twat.

5 foot I agree.

Coach tours ffs???

I still wear 4" heels (very occasionally if I don't have to move) and am partial to the odd spray tan. The very idea of Edinburgh Woollen Mill, glasses cases or petunias is a complete anathema to me (45).

Making homemade birthday cards

I'm 23 and cannot say I really have a point. I also really care about apostrophes, waitrose, country living, quality streets and cardigans (pretty ones with dresses, not large M&S beasts).

Sorry Hully, I shall slink off to my acrobiotic aerobic class tout suite [hgrin]!

All that stuff can go except the Caramac. You've gone too far with the Caramac.

Holidays in Portugal also should be on the list

Golf clubs, people who play golf and all things golfing. Can they go?
