Well they say 40(ish) is the new 50!!
Isn't that the other way round???
Although I don't want to be younger than I am, I don't want to age prematurely (and I'm enjoying the time left before I will be 50..... not too long now):rolleyes:
Oh, and I spent 10p yesterday on uneccesary cakes. They were reduced and HAD to be eaten yesterday. Ah well, that's pence lost and pounds gained :rotfl:He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
