Welcome Daffs.

coco - I've given up and am using industrial strength Dri-clor. It works but it's a bit eeek at first. As in stingy.

ScaredOfCows · 02/05/2011 20:47

Agree completely with the hairdressers thing - rarely go as I really can't stand looking at myself for that length of time, sitting in front of some 25year old, tanned, blond (fake), pretty thing. I was a hairdresser myself for a few years until going to uni, so I cut it myself now most of the time.

Add me to the list, 43 and fading fast.

midnightexpress · 02/05/2011 20:56

Eek you lot are so talkative. I've been hunting for the new thread - mistakenly dropped into 'Sweedish Hasbeens' before realising that they are a brand of shoes and not Swedes' crepey ladies.

I haven't run today, but I did turn over an entire compost heap last night, which I figure is about the same. Plus it's great for the garden.

cyb · 02/05/2011 21:07

lol @Hasbeens

Evening hags!

A weekend of relaxation and general indulgence has done wonders for my spirit, but maybe not my waistline. Back to reality tomorrow.

Now, the sweat thing! Glad it's not just me. I'm not sure if my nose is getting more sensitive, or I'm getting whiffier as time goes by. I've primed DH to be on BO-watch and alert me if he notices a hum.

Kerry - I ate a whole large bag of Minstrels in the cinema a couple of weeks ago and came over all peculiar and wobbly - sugar rushes don't suit me anymore. Which I guess is good.

Cointreau - I'm sort of glad you think you're getting whiffier as well - inasmuch as at least it's not just me. Sorry. That's crap, isn't it?

coffeeinbed · 02/05/2011 21:25

I was good this morning.
Well, did the elyptical half an hout, then the Tracey A DVD, then sweeezed into some size 12 dresses.
So why the F did I have takeaway curry and wine in the evening?

Hassled · 02/05/2011 21:39

I am so fucking thick (and old) that I have only just realised that I am gatecrashing an existing quiche. And I'm rubbish at quiches in any case. Apologies.

42 year old fading fast, clapped-out, A-grade, ocean-going old wreck here.

I swear my face has just collapsed overnight. I look in the mirror - feeling quite bright and spritely - and the lined, haggard wreckage staring back gives me The Fear. I'm morphing into my bloody mother.

And for some mad reason, just as the skin around my eyes and mouth starts wrinkling and creasing, my chin has rediscovered its 14 year old self and I've just been diagnosed by doc with acne. Just my chin. Big, hulking great red glowing zits that could light up a dance floor......

Hassled · 02/05/2011 21:44

kerry :o

CointreauVersial · 02/05/2011 21:46

it's not really a quiche at all Hassled. Turns out that pretty much everyone on MN is over 40, overweight and haggard. Who knew?

Personally, I'm quite relieved. I once had a look at the MN Facebook page and ran screaming when I was confronted by a host of lucious locked lovelies with peachy skin. I reckon they got all their pictures from Google Images.

midnightexpress · 02/05/2011 21:49

luscious-locked. Obv.

coffeeinbed · 02/05/2011 21:55

I like knitting.
I'm beyond help.

CointreauVersial · 02/05/2011 21:58

Grin midnight. So true. I'm greatly comforted by that fact.
