    Well thanks for the pic PiP. That was a real eye opener for me. Never knew such a thing existed!
     But then my make up and skin routine drawer consists of ….er……oh nothing! It’s where I keep my HRT gubbins. I had a miserable menopause. Still on it as it’s a game changer. Be there forever if I have my way!

    Btw, crossness is the ultimate in getting things done. I bet they were three-quarter wussy sit-ups under that power but you were so cross you didn’t realise.

    The build hassle is the gift that keeps on giving 😖

    I’m always powered by crossness 💪 😆

    I didn't go through the menopause until I came off HRT finally in my 60s.  They made me otherwise I woould still be on it.  Very mild though but then came the arthritis in my hands   If they are going to keep us working longer they are going to have to make it possible to do.

    My non-existent abs thank you @Slowdown 😁
    Good to hear HRT is working for you, sorry you had a miserable menopause. I'll probably have a sh*t one like much else to do with my body, but a change is as good as a rest 🙄 Fingers crossed I'll finally be due a bit of time in my body without constant nonsense 🤞🤞🤞

    We are literally cross-fit @Sun_Addict 🥂

    Thanks @Blackcats and everyone, I did not realise how much I was anxious about it until I got the letter. Though it seems to have freed up a massive anxiety slot 😂
    Hope your Da is enjoying the snooker @Blackcats!

    That is a very good (and depressing) point @badmemory.
    Maybe go back to your GP having done research and ask what updated guidelines apply if you feel it would be worth having back in your life?

    I came off at 66 but I'm 79 now so a bit late for me, but I'm happy to serve as a warning!  My sister was still on it into her 70s.  If I had known then what I know now I would have fought a lot harder.
