Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Back to School

I'm sending Adoring Husband back to school.

I was just telling BGWLBH about our trip to Bundaberg.

We attended AH's Specialist Appointment today and were charged $135 for 15 minutes.

This equates to:

For 1 hour = $540
For an 8 hour day = $4320
For a 5 day week = $21600
Less one month holiday
For a year = $1,036,800

Ok, so we really should give him an hour for lunch every day, my calculations are a teensy bit out.

But seriously?

That's a lot of money for a trained monkey!

Nite all.
