The FastDay Forum

Opps, I messed up. My last post on here was in reply to your first page where you were talking about epilators. I'm still not au fait with the forum designs and didn't realise there was an additional 10 pages of conversation.
But anyway, can a newly turned 50 join the over 60's club as an apprentice, trainee 'never be old' 60?

Hey, I am nearer 60 than you julieathome so I want to be an honorary member too

Hi Ballerina

Julieathome,
I have just had a look at the link and it looks tortuous!!! I think I will stick to my tweezers!!! (They don't buzz either and they fit in my handbag!!) and my trusty razor for my legs, I also wear a lot of maxi skirts which cover up a multitude of sins!!
Hi ballerina, hope your head has recovered and Mr le crapaud is enjoying your company !! Xx

I just ordered one to try. I have trouble gripping tweezers now and I find the wax strips seem to leave more behind than when I started! Worth a shot for 99p!

Good morning campers,

Chris, welcome to old git's corner,

Julieathome, don't worry, you will soon find your way around and my head is as back to normal as is possible for me, thanks and consider yourself one of us,

Miffy, are you really going to try one of those leg mowing machines? You are a braver woman than me, let us know how it goes and we'll send you some painkillers and an oxygen mask!

Well, we were going to go to Frejus today but as there are storms due to rampage through here about lunchtime we will go tomorrow instead. Frejus is a lovely town, just as you imagine Provence to be. It used to be the seat of the Holy Roman Empire and there are loads of old relics still there so we feel quite at home. In mediaevel times it suffered raids by Barbarians and Goths, Mrs Hitler snr's ancestors then,and like my mil it has existed in some form or another since the first century. Actually, that description of Mrs Hitler snr was a bit unfair, there is nothing Goth like about the woman, she is shaped more like a rubic cube, without the little coloured squares, but with attitude. There would be no point in asking her to kiss Mr toad, she would sooner eat him.

You would imagine Frejus would resemble modern Rome in some way, no! No Basilica to get hearded round along with, what felt like, 20 million other tourists. I remember panicking as young Ghengis and I were getting pushed further and further apart in the melee. I shouted at him, "I feel like a sardine" and he shouted back "You don't like fish!"

Rome has loads of statues and a lot of them are of the human variety, something I've yet to see in France. Strange occupation that, just stand around all day, do nothing useful and people give you their hard earned money, must be like being an M.P.

Him indoors has now lost 3/4 of a stone and will possibly lose the same again before we go home. The sad thing is that before the aircraft has even touched down he will be foraging, like a brown bear, for food, every scabby dog withing a 5 mile radius will put on a disguise and go into hiding and if I don't open our front door fast enough he will have it off it's hinges and slapped between two slices of bread in an instant! I blame his mother!

Off for a swim now, see you all later,

Ballerina

Hey, Its not a leg mower! Not got the guts for that! Its that little doody for dragging out the old chin hairs. Don't you just love reaching the age of bristly bits!

Shame about the impending storms. Hope its better tomorrow.

Know what you mean about a rampaging hubby. Mine is like that every day! Hes constantly on the forage. Anyone would think he was preparing for hibernation! I think he'd take a packed lunch when we go to do the weekly shop if I let him!

Thanks for posting in time for my coffee break. Bollox du jour has become my guilty pleasure. I am briefly transported from the weeding and the garden shed to sun, sea and silliness of the highest order, it is a great boost to the day! Wish I could sign off like you Ballerina, with just off for a swim, but sadly my sign off has to be just off to the compost heap - your friend dhana , better known these days as Worzel or Stig of the dump!

Miffy,Phew, that's a relief! Men and food, eh? You make me laugh, keep it up,

Dhana, it will change after we get home, it will read 'just off to clean the loo', etc. My stay in paradise is all too short

I agree with Dhana that she Janeg and I had a lovey yummy lunch at Regano's it was great to put faces to names. Amongst a thousand other things we talked about a 5/2 forum gathering. we were blethering so much that the waiter had to come back about 3 times to get our order (we hadn't got around to looking at the menu. Our waiter was a wee pleasant Glasgow Cheil but I don't think he came up to the standard of Ballerinas French Garsons (spelling) Bak to Auld Clothes and tattles today.

I'll miss my little time-outs with Ballerina's Bollox! Just trotting off now to the fascinations of de-clumping the cat litter and feeding my 2 wormeries. I have names for all the wormies you know. Yup I call all in one box Keith and the other box are all called Dennis! Don't tell M. Crapaud about them though or he'll want a food parcel!

Bonjours, campeurs!

Sorry you're having storms down there, Ballerina. We have sunshine (though we have had more rain...) here in deepest Brittany.

We were in Frejus a few years ago. Love the south of France. Favourite place is Valbonne. These days, it's full of Brits.
We are entertaining our French friend tonight, so we must be on our best behaviours! Eton mess for pud!

Off to St Malo today. Tootle pip, as thy say!

A bit late in the thread I know but I'm also in the over 60s club being 65, but I was told at my 60th birthday party that 60 is the new 40 so I'm really only 45! such a shame my body doesn't think so yet as still some way to go to maintaining

Come on in Isis, never too late to have a drink and a laugh, we don't care about years here just enjoying ourselves too much,

Hi Everyone
Greetings from Canada!
Today is my 68th birthday. I may look it but I certainly don't feel it. I've lost 30 lbs since joining here, and I feel terrific.

Hi Aamy, HAPPY BIRHDAY, welcome to the wrinkle appreciation society, fill your boots, get yourself a drink and enjoy all the fun of the fair, the grey, the brunette, the bald etc,
