I have rinsed my hair a fleshy sort of colour and it gives me gravitas ;-) |

I was 56 when I first covered my grey hair. A young lady offered me her seat on a tube train - that did it!! |

Well until last week, for the past two months I had let my hair go back to its natural colour which is now nearly all grey, but every time I looked in the mirror and saw this old lady looking back I didn't like it. So I have had it rinsed again and really it does make a difference to how I feel about myself. It would be different if it was a nice silver grey but it is a horrible dark patchy grey. I see nothing wrong in dying our hair if it makes us feel better. |

Barb, my hair has been going grey since I was in my 20s, I have no idea what colour is under there :-D The hairdresser says its 90% grey. OH says that our youngest has the same colour hair as I had when he first met me, the old romantic :-D |

Suzanne. Thinking about you today. Heard there were traffic delays on A470 today in Dogellau area because of snow!! What with getting through Snowdonia and over the Britannia (which always seems to be slow or blocked) yout journey must be a daily nightmare. |

Welcome to the club Suzanne, I was 50 on Saturday and how I dreaded it and was as miserable as sin for at least the last 4 months. Worse than dying the hair was plucking the eyebrows last week and finding......much to my horror a grey hair :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 Well i plucked it out quickly and found out most beauty salons do eyebrow tinting thank goodness. |

Travel gets to me Suzanne. I think it makes you very tired and tetchy. |

I too wish I was 50 again. But, having said that I do remember that working full time as I got older did begin to take it out of me and I didn't travel like you do. So it is probably the working/travelling that does it. Just try and relax at weekends and do things that you like doing. Even simple things. If you are sleeping in the evening, are you then sleeping at night properly because if not that can make you feel exhausted. |
