I, like Teresa became eligable to join this thread last September and I have also been receiving insurance leaflets through the post from S** L*** asking if i want to join.

I don't feel any different now that I'm "over the hill" compared to how I felt 15 years ago. I suppose you are only as old as you feel.

Yep, I'm getting sent over 50s insurance stuff now....though some of them I'm not eligible for until I'm 55 LOL.

Hey CC!

I did smuggle back a yodeller but he was so noisy and the neighbours made such a fuss that I had to give him away ... sorry!!

Lovely holiday - blue sky, sunshine, snow ... warmth even - and proper coffee!

:-( It really hit me last year when I turned 50...my longstanding insurance company sent me updated policies titled " 50@home"!! shheeesshh!!
Only time I am at home is to sleep and answer emails LOL...I should ask them for a bigger discount.

Sorry Aunty Sue

Were you the person who boxed one of Van Gogh's ears and then sent it to his girlfriend, who, on opening the box, then exclaimed

"What's this 'ere!"
