Letting you in to a SECRET!!

I've had a birthday this week! A BIG birthday!! I am now, gulp, 40!!! I was dreading the day, but I don't feel any older - and any comments about me looking that old (Little Bro, Baby Sis and Drama Teen - I mean YOU!!!) will be deleted!!!! Little Prince allowed me to open one of my presents (and the boring cards), but he insisted on helping me with the rest!! I got some lovely gifts :-) Lots of Disney stuff from LMS and Drama Teen. A Disney photo frame with the 3 girls and Mickey from Fraulein. Lots of lovely things from Best Friend. Oxfam gifts in my name from another friend. Mr Messy had the day off, so we went out for an early lunch in a local organic cafe. Then in the afternoon I had a very relaxing facial at the Beauty Salon. All in all a very nice day :-) But from now on my birthday's are going backwards - here's to being 39 again lol :-)

Congratulations on your birthday!!! Don't let a number bother you. I'd say I'd like to be 40 again, but... I was pregnant with Computer Geek when I was your age.. LOL!!! Think I can definately pass that up again!!!
As they say "Age is a matter of mind, and if you don't mind, then it doesn't matter".
Happy birthday from all of us!!

LMS is right you don't look 40! You look much younger. And with all these skin things you're planning on doing you're just going to keeping getting younger!

Thank you everyone :-) I've got over being worried about it now :-) Hopefully the saying about "Life begins at 40" is true :-)
