    Actually Ames,I agree with your Mum. 30 was a much bigger deal for me than 40 was......I'll be 50 in 2014....(FIFTY ! Sounds ancient!!!I still feel 17 if that counts..)

    I still feel like I'm 12, and so many people say I act like it...

    Brilliant Z!

    I had a dream about your hat last night. I went to a DFW meet and it was there in it's own right.

    Just heard some very sad news....:(

    One of DD2's classmates died yesterday of a heart attack. He was just 17. They were very close and she is devastated.

    It was the one's that got me. Didn't like being 31, hated being 41. I feel like my teenage years were a fog. I was either borderline anorexic or overeating. It was a bit of an emotional disaster for me - really pleased not to be there. Psychologically it was a disaster but can only see that now, and only really stand up for myself now.

    The older I get the more relaxed I get, and the more sure of myself really.

    I know. I'm sat here crying and I've never even met him. I think it's partly the thought that DD is so sad and partly the tragic loss of such a young life. There are lots of pics of them on FB and it's just so so sad.

    Oh Suzy, I'm so sorry. Did she know him well?

    I'm sitting here surrounded by bags from todays shopping watching Confessions of a Shopaholic. But mine were all necessary purchases *cough*
