Do you get to a certain age when you don't mind exposing bingo arms?

Not bingo, but perhaps lottery.

Nonetheless I'm pretty unhappy about exposing them. But needs must .....

not there yet

Don't know about age but...

I am sure you can get to a certain stage of bingo-ness where you just don't care.

I have reached it, but am trying to rectify this by getting sweaty every couple of days. This week, I can do this just by typing but most weeks I have to lift weights!

Only in the privacy of my rat-ridden garden.

i saw a lot of very young women who seemed to have reached that age already. maybe it passed me by.

Yep, I realised I was there when I felt them flap as I tugged a stray eyebrow hair this morning.

expatinscotland · 18/07/2006 22:01

if zizou zidane came knocking at my door i'd throw it open in nothing but my dressing gown and a smile.

In fact, in my case, they were always there. But a little less flabbier in my thirties.

expatinscotland · 18/07/2006 22:07

no, LOoOOONNGGG ones. they're eejits all the way.

Cam · 18/07/2006 22:08

mp , guess that's what makes a postman's job worthwhile

Mind you, I did recently walk around the house in a swimsuit all morning when a totally unattractive carpenter was putting in 2 new doors because it was too hot to put normal clothes on.

Wouldn't have done it in front of anyone attractive though nor if I thought he would find me remotely interesting to look at, its quite liberating reaching the "anonymous" age as some female writer said once.

Moomin · 18/07/2006 22:09

yep. have reached it. altho i feel better with a bit of fake tan on, brown wobbly is somehow better than white wobbly. i've just got to the point where i think - really, who gives a shit, and if they do then they need to get out more

charleypopspreviouslyntt · 18/07/2006 22:11

Maddonna exposes hers all the time

Moomin · 18/07/2006 22:19

madonna's whole body is probably the same circumference as one of my bingos

MadamePlatypus · 18/07/2006 22:25

Let them flap I say. There are plenty of men around who don't mind exposing their pregnant bellies.

noddyholder · 18/07/2006 22:27

yep in my case 40 I can't keep them covered now its too hot
