Ooooh yes please....now I'm back London based I feel I don't ever get across the river enough any more....just slave away in my space by on the 'wrong' side of the river and manage my handkerchief surburban territory/plot. Quite sad really.
I keep seeing exhibitions I want to pop up to and then never get a free afternoon to do so.
I missed out on both Shoes and Flashdance which closed before I got around to booking tickets.

I look a bit like a Wolfhound. Or maybe an Afghan Hound. It depends on whether I've brushed my hair or not.

I'm now sporting a shoulder-length hairstyle from the 70s .... as I've been meaning to get a trim since late October

One thing with Botox to remember is: once you start, you can never stop ... so you have to KNOW you can honestly afford to keep doing it FOR LIFE!

I worked with somebody who had a freebie ... I couldn't see any difference (she was fat and her brow furrowed). She was totally into looking good, but never managed it..... very shallow she was, drove me nuts to be working alongside her and her client-4rse-licking ways and the way she was impressed by people with more money than her. Loon she was.

I am probably the only person who works in my sector in the whole world who has had nothing done and I am very furrowed from all the frowning and worrying I've done in the past 3 decades....I also have crows feet from all the laughing and smiling and a bit if a groove going down each side of my mouth from all the chattering and nattering.
Sometimes I feel left out and I hate my teeth but I have seen more bad work that good and, even if I had the cash, I would probably be too scaredy cat to do anything at all.

I had a freebie jab of botox a few years back and it's horrid.....you can't move your forehead and it doesn't really make you look younger as such, just a bit expression-fixed.

Filler is a scary one too as I have seen a lot of bad filler mistakes and makes one look puffed up like you just got bitten by a mossie and had an alergic reaction.

I am sure you don't really

KP, we saw the transformation 1st hand over the ten years she used to pop in and chat.....sad really as she was gorge and would have aged really well.

In the country and rural areas, nobody cares what you look like. In my county, nobody cares how you dress, or if your hair's done, or what car you drive.

It's called "laid back" .... I guess up country you'd call it scruffy.

But are you going grey?

I got my first grey hairs at a very young age. My mother said its hereditary, but if I'm lucky being wrinkle free will be hereditary too. More socially acceptable to colour your hair than have botox. She's 70 now and still doesn't have a line on her forehead so here's hoping.

Only a tiny bit..hardly at all.

The whole fashion for ''anti-aging'' on the outside is a really odd ''phenonemon'' when you think about it.

Sorry FC

lostinrates

yes to the dog.

I'm only ..thinks...um...32, and I have wrinkles and one grey hair. So much of my childhood was spent in extreme sun with no protection its inevitable. then the weight gain stretching skin.... If I ever sort my self out I do think I'll probably have cosmetic work when older. cosmetic work as in a face lift, not four times a year jabs and lip filling etc.

My family on the maternal side is blessed with the lack of wrinkles as we age...my nan was nearly 91 when she died but her face was wrinkle free...she looked about 60 when she died, mostly courtesy of her snowy white hair.

My mum is 69 this year, she is also wrinkle free and could easily pass for someone in their early 50's...again courtesy of her snowy white hair.

I'm now 41...and no wrinkles either but I do get grey hair, more advanced than it was in my mum or nan at this age but I put that down to the stresses. I have also been told I do not look my age and could pass for someone in their early 30's....wish I blooming felt like it!
