  • Is it the 90s? Great! Then I´m not about to turn 40 ...
    Just for you Amber (not forgetting that life begins at 40)
    The ages of Women

    Age 8: Looks at herself and sees; Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty

    Age 15: Looks at herself and sees; Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty/Movie Star, or if she is PMS-ing; sees pimples/ugly ("Mom I can't go to school like this!")

    Age 20: Looks at herself and sees; "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" - but she decides she is going out anyway.

    Age 30: Looks at herself and sees; "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" - but decides she doesn't have time to fix it so she's going out anyway.

    Age 40: Looks at herself and sees; "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" -but says, "At least, I'm clean" and goes out anyway.

    Age 50: Looks at herself and sees; "I am" - and goes wherever she wants to.

    Age 60: Looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore; goes out and conquers the world.

    Age 70: Looks at herself and sees wisdom, laughter and ability - goes out and enjoys life.

    Age 80: Doesn't bother to look. Just puts on a red hat and goes out into the world.

    Age 90: Can't see and doesn't worry about it!

    Just popping in to say....

    ....I'm off to bed.lol.
    I let Sam listen to my voice by recorded message earlier. He says I sound cute and posh. So many people say I sound posh. I'm not posh really. Just articulate. :rotfl:

    Night lovelies.

    hi alba, hope your ok hun.
    we did really well, as there were a group of us working on it, we had little teams lol, some cutting fabric strips, some sewing, one ironing, and one making coffee lol, so we are about half way to completeing a single bed size quilt. i didnt realise how much work goes into one, as i have never done patchwork before.
    another achievement tonight, have made a hand made card for my parents, just to say thanks for having the boys today, took me an hour but am pleased with the result
    hugs all
