I'm turning 37 next week Like, in real life, not just in my head :rotfl: In my head though? Not sure. I think I've always felt like I was in my mid 30s, and now I *am* in my mid 30s I'm not so sure :rotfl: Struggling to come to terms with the recent appearance of grey hair over my ears though :eek: always thought i'd be ok with it but it turns out I'm not :eek: :rotfl:0

Yay to being 37 :j
I sympathise with the grey hair, Cheery - maybe hair dye is safe these days? My genetics gave me, not only grey hair, but a predisposition to skin cancer - far too many cases in my family to think of dyeing my hair back when I was 37 :cool: I bet the formulations are better nowadays.
I've just been watching a cat patrolling my garden, very precise, very deliberate - there's a few piles of rubbish waiting to be burned and he sniffed and investigated everything. Cats definitely do that thing of sharing territory by patrolling at different times of day. Another one sits attentively at the front, hidden by the bins, but thats first thing in the morning. Cat politics, I love them.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

It certainly does, gallygirl:T:j
I've never felt so liberated since I stopped dying my hair last year:j. I dyed it for the past 30 years (with all the expense!) and as it grows ridiculously quickly I was forever having the worry of touching up the roots. I don't imagine really tall people need to worry so much but being only 5ft 1 everyone looks down on my head:eek:. The worst part was growing out the colour, the 'tidemark' look wasn't very attractive but as it grows very quickly as I already mentioned it didn't take all that long to get rid of it for good. I did it over the winter when I could get away with wearing a woolly hat whenever I was out and about;).
I've always had my hair fairly longish but to get rid of the very last vestiges of colour I had it cut really short to leave it just grey and silver. I love it, it's a nice colour not just pepper and salt, and I wish I'd had the courage to do it sooner.
I still get a bit of a shock though when I suddenly catch sight of myself in a large mirror or reflected in a windowpane. I still can't reconcile the fact that I really am an 'old' lady:eek:. I might be a pensioner but I still have my health and lots of energy and feel about 25 inside:j. I hope I never grow up:rotfl:0 -

:rotfl: grey hair *does* rock, GG and CBC - in fact, someone commented to me that they thought I'd had lo-lites done, thats how good it looked
Nothing whatsoever mse is going on today - apart from taking a packed lunch with me when I go see the Flying Scotsman :j In fact, I've been so lax about taking things out of the dishwasher (things aren't very dry, so I put them to drain bit by bit, and gradually lose the will to do it ) I had to put it on again, but I'm sure it was only a half load really
Yougov, that was good - I'm over 4,000 now. And I just paid a cc. Whoop de doo. I much prefer thinking about the train :j2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

I saw the Flying Scotsman a few years ago, I was SO excited, it stopped at our local station to take on water and I was right next to it . Just looked though and can't find the pics .
