miserable ageing chat - no fuckers welcome

[NoahDear]

only us

good grief

I can't wear leggings. Well, specifically, I can't wear the pair I bought from New Look. They made my legs go weird.

I bought some and then spent a week thinking I had a neurological disorder. Then I stopped wearing them and lo! I was immediately cured. Hallelujah!

Dh and I saw a girl in wet look leggings the other day and it was throwing it down with rain. We waited till she had gone past before laughing our arses off at her. She looked as if she had been thrown into a swimming pool.

Can I join in? Im probably older than most on here. I have bought jeggings which I intend to wear throughout the winter with long tops/dresses and boots. I really dont care anymore about what I 'should' or 'shouldn't' wear. I dress to please myself and dont care what others may think. I live in jeans anyway and jeggings just make it easier to stuff down boots.

same theory as me squish

no no Kerry you are right

also no listening to the latest bands

tragic

must look enigmatic and mutter about how we have discovered who we are and what works for us and have thus Achieved Enlightenment

Jeggings - the word's too funny to actually wear them, surely? Sounds like snood and skort. Not to be taken seriously, or worn.

I'm 45 and going through the menopause, and my mum is worried I'll "age before my time". WTF? I had two children in my late 30s. I'm knackered! If ageing before my time means I get to have a lie down every now and again, bring it on. Bollox to wearing purple - When I am Old I shall Wear a Dressing Gown. All the Time.

I am laughing so much at these I'm crying. Unfortunately, because I have little pelvic floor to speak of I'm also in danger of having a small wee (staggers off to find Tena Lady).

But Kerry - have you ever been to a gig where anyone else is remotely interested in what you wear?

Oh god maybe I should invest in a smart tailored suit for my upcoming Muse gigs!

Surely music died the day Michael Hutchence died

The last man that made me think "cor, you're hot" was 20 years my junior . Sorry, DH!

Pelvic floor? What is this pelvic floor you're talking about??

Am 38 (in six weeks)

Have just noticed a very unfetching wearing away of the jeans I am currently wearing between the legs. Am a curvy 18 (well, I'm not going to be a skinny one!). Are the New-Look-Once-Called-Hula-Now-Called-Yes jeans any good? I like the sound of the Martha jeans but suspect that Top Shop do not cater for the fat voluptuous.

I miss live music but am scared to go into pubs with bands because I may be mistaken for a band member's mum. Also it can be awfy LOUD, don't you think?

OOOH

have chosen whole new outfit for tomorrow featuring previously never put together items

I will FREEZE TO FECKING DEATH mind

jeggings for the over 40's. Sideboard optional.

cappster, wear a vest.

ah yes

funnily enough I am just unpacking my thermals from this vacuum storage bag

how I have missed them

Live music way too loud, I agree, but then I've always thought that - gah, was I already middleaged when I was 19 ??

Mmmmmh, thermals

okay

if anyone sees me in a shop buying a wrap dress, shoot me

I am all wrap dressed out

everything I own has a bloody string around the waist it seems

Pacific - live music seems much quieter now! Arent they restricted to 75 decibels (or whatever theyre called) now?

No, Squish, that's just your hearing going !!

i love my jeggings but they are bastard tight in the lower leg where there is very little of me. good and long. maybe a bit more lycra would be good. topshop.

ok everyone it is equinox today, last day of summer and so tomorrow autumn officially starts. i will wear silk scarves. or maybe make them the thing one takes off before leaving the house...

Yeah, was at a music festival yesterday and said to the sound engineer, 'isn't it a bit, um, loud?'

No fishie - no more lycra otherwise they will stretch and bag round the knees and arse!
