Morning Dizzi.

A few year's ago, one of the children in my care said to me......

"Suie, you are very young for your age arn't you."

"Oooo thank you" said i.

I could tell by the look on his face that it was not particularly meant as a compliment.

I gave it some thought and asked.... "Do you mean childish?!

With a certain amount of relief he immediatley replied........."Yeah! thats it!"

Kids eh! x

Go Girl Dizzy, Im hanging on in there with the hair dye, have been since it started to turn grey at 25, and I will continue for ever. lol

My MIL is 70 and wears jeans and nice up to date clothes. There is no need to be dressed up oldies clothes nowadays anyway with all the nice things in high street shops and shoping catalouges.

carry on the good work, you may have even converted some of your rellies and friends to dress a bit better.
