Anyone aged 50+ had great success?

[TwinkleToes2day]

We haven't got your sun Bev........cold and miserable here. Have you tried the French? They might have it!!

Always best to blame someone else I find

I hope that anyone who is in their early 40s isn't reading this and thinking that life isn't worth having once you hit 50 because that really isn't true.....is it girls?! There are just a few challenges to face from a physical point of view. We do still know how to have fun, misbehave ourselves sometimes, and being able to embarass one's children/grandchildren is brilliant

I think I'm probably one of the youngest in this thread - a mere 50 in September - but the bod is kicking back with a vengeance :sigh: but can't 'afford' to be 'old' as I'm actually raising my grandson and need all the energy I can gather. Feel like going to bed before him sometimes lol He's 4 next month & has an ASD so it's all go. Really lucky he sleeps al night tho' bless him

Ooh it's not raining yay Mind you we have gr8 fun when it is - on with the wellies & waterproofs for a bit of puddle jumping

You always know that the sun is going to disappear......as soon as Wimbledon and Queens tennis tournaments are underway. I think it is a conspiracy by other nations so that we don't produce a winner

Wow. Well done you!!! I can't cope with my 2 year old twin grand-daughters for more than an hour. I am totally knackered. Bless 'em. Absolutely no chance of you being able to grow old and put your feet up!! xx

Puddle jumping......how fab. did you ever see the episode in Vicar of Dibley where Dawn French jumped into a puddle and ended up with water round her middle? Very funny.

 

[Bess]

Aw Bess, I am a whole pregnancy older than you, so when I came into the world you were just being conceived..........there's a thought

Oh Blimey, what did your Dad look like? Travel much did he? :8855::8855::8855:

Oh yes that was totally Actually watch the repeats at any opportunity

Twins eh, wow, that's hard work. Bet their mum's either completely fit or living on adrenalin Phew!

Time to do nursery pick up

I don't want to freak you out but he was a bit of a wanderer

I think the latter applies to DD2, pure adrenalin Poor girl gets completely knackered by mid-afternoon. They are getting to that age where its a good game to pull all their clothes out of the drawers, take nappies etc off and stand naked in the bedroom except for a sun hat That was the scene that greeted my daughter last week after she put them in bed for their afternoon nap hahahaha xx

Do you really think you should be behaving like this at your age? :8855:

 

[Chelsea Lou]

:8855::8855::8855:I'll soon be at that age where that will be considered quite normal behaviour......for a nursing home resident

Kinda thing I was thinking there Bess :giggle:

Ah well, no more fun for me, must go out to work now. Bye girls! xx

I am SO glad I found this thread. It is really good for a giggle. Thank you everyone.

OLD? OLD? At 55?!!! I don't think so.
I definitely don't feel old - the problem is that having read all the stuff that Chelsea posted earlier, I recognise a lot of them already.
Dribbling, Can't Talk, moodiness, crying for no reason, hold your own head up.
Wait - Methinks I've spotted the reason - it's the alocohol!:gimi:

I don't sleep well either, so I suppose that must be 'my age'! Huh! Thankfully no other symptons at all apart from the end of * weeks and that's a relief!

I am much younger than you, at only 55 in August . But I keep it a dark secret, after all there are only several million people who could read this diary aren't there?!
Are you a Leo or Virgo?

Umm what's DG's?
Duff Guts - sorry thought every knew this one. Politer way of saying I had the trots or even worse the sh**s!

Nope, sorry can't stop the sun dance - worked a treat yesterday! Such a shame you can't wear your swim suit and sarong and have had to don jeans and a wooly jumper..........would you like me to send you some mittens? :8855::raincloud:
Mittens gratefully accepted - I chucked mine away when I came to Spain - and looking at all the rain at Queen's today I think I might need them. Plus a brolly!

We haven't got your sun Bev........cold and miserable here. Have you tried the French? They might have it!!

Actually it's always best to blame the French!
Apart from Cheese, the Channel Tunnel and Eric Cantona - what else has come out of France thst's any good?

Where do you get your smilies from Twinkle? Never seen some of the ones you use!

And I'm a "Vicar" fan too! Especially the puddle episode and the one where Alice gives birth in the stable!

Must away - need to go and have a siesta before we go out to our quiz night. Need to win as I'm running out of vodka (and that's the prize!)

Hey Pommette (is that a play on the Aussie 'Pom'?)
No - my surname is Pomfret and my hubby went to a "posh" school where they shortened everyones name - a la the cricket commentators (Johnston = Johnners, Blowfeld = Blowers). So he became Pommers - and I became Pommette by assocaition.

I've never seen some of them. Must be clicking in the worng place.

copy the url and at the top of your reply box you will see a little yellow square with what looks like a pyramid on it, click on that and then paste the url into the box and you should get the image up...................I think that's how I do it but perhaps not explained it very well
