Tee hee Lantana. Unfortunately when you get asked direct questions like that you cannot think of a witty response. My nieces and nephews remind me now about my response when they were little and would ask 'Whats for dinner/lunch/tea' and my standard reply was always 'Worm pie'. They now say that to their children.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Good evening ladies. Age is just a number. One of my best friends was 30 plus years older than me, when we met l was 16 and at college. I got a part time job on the checkouts of a supermarket, Thursday and Friday nights and all day Saturday. Paulie was on the till next to me. We had such fun, the customers were regulars who all had their favourite girl, the chat and laughter was riotous at times, even
Oops...the manager would hang around and join in. Wouldn't be allowed now. We were close friends until she died 4 years ago, she literally died laughing, massive heart attack. She lived life to the full though.
I do remember blue rinses, and pink and lilac too. My old neighbour as a child had a very impressive blue rinse, nearly as bouffant as Marge Simpson. She'd also draw on her eyebrows half an inch higher than her own giving herself 2 pairs of brows. She was always beautifully dressed with a wafting perfume behind her. Folks joked that she was Barbara Cartlands long lost sister. I liked her a lot, she would listen to me reciting the times tables or my school Peter and Jane books.
Love the piggy M-U. Talking about giggling like school children, when I was at Uni my friends and I took huge delight in going into the department stores in the city and trying on all of the hats just for the heck of it.

Nothing wrong with that. I do it too but its not quite the same as when I was a loopy teenager/twenty something-er. Somehow the hats seem to 'suit' more often than not and I don't try on the hideous ones
