Oh god - me too!
I still can't believe that grown up people with jobs and kids can have been born in the 80s!
And last night on How To Look Good Naked Gok was asking for opinions about this weeks "girl" and he roped in a young copper who used to work for me as a saturday boy not too many years ago. (and he still looked about 17!)
That really made me feel old! :eek:
I guess we 1969 babies aren't as young as we used to be!

It's "old lady beige" I dread honey!
At what point does a person suddenly decide that there's no need for any colour in their wardrobe and having their hair resembling a cauliflower is good look? :rotfl:
Does someone come round in the night and make you over as a granny / grandad and put bromide in your teaor do people do it to themselves!
I'd rather be a lurid kaftan and inappropriate comment sort of old lady!
Love Jacks xxx

I havent posted one because I am working with CAP and they have basically sorted it all for me. I just pay them a lump sum every week and they pay all my debts and bills aside from food and a couple of other things.
I have scrimped within an inch of my life. All my luxuries are gone. (phoned sky today which was the last thing i was holding on too)
