Arggghhhhhh!! Its me.

As I sit here in the hairdressers I am struck by 2 things........Number 1, I am 43 on Sunday and number 2, I am looking old....................................................Small lines have invaded my once smooth young looking face, my eyebrows look thinner and I'm sure I can see a white one........................Maybe its the lighting in here............................Nope...............................On further inspection it is....................................OUCH!............................I've plucked it out. The woman next to me is laughing as I examine the wiry Father Christmas type lone hair.

What the hell is happening to me............................I've looked after myself, I use very expensive face cream which claims to keep you looking younger....................I should look about 10 by now not 75.

Oh God...........................................What is that on my chin.....................................Its another one................Marvellous, I have 2 chins. Would someone please take this mirror away from me..................................That's it.......................I'm turning round to face the other way.............................................ARGHHHHHHHH!..............................There are mirrors everywhere and now I can see a full 360 degree reflected image of myself.

Its no use, I am going to have to except it.........................I turn back to face the front.................There I am.....................................Its not that bad..............................Its me, good old reliable me. Its a face I know and trust and.

I need to get a grip......................All is not lost....................My nails.......................My nails look nice, I will focus on them.................Oh Crap.........................There's a chipped one..................That's definitely it, I am closing my eyes and not opening them until she has finished my hair..................Then I am going to ask for my money back from the nice face cream people.



NOMINATE ME BiB 2014 LAUGHIf my blog has made you smile, chuckle, laugh out loud or dare I say it as someone once said "made me laugh so much I had to whizz to the loo" then please, please, please.......Pretty please.....Slightly begging please.............Verging on desperate please........................Think about voting for me in the rather fabulous Brit Mums Blogging Awards known as the BIBS............................I am super excited to of made it to the semi finals and need every bit of help I can as I am up against some of the finest blogs around. Just click HERE and it will take you straight to the page you need....You will find me in the Laugh Category which is number 13 (unlucky for some but hopefully not me)........................Thanks so much.......................Love You xxxx

    Totally feeling your pain! I have a white eyebrow hair and all sorts of 'fine lines' have appeared near to my mouth since turning 40. Very best of luck with the BiBs. Really hope you make it to the finals. X

    I have stopped spending money on beauty creams for a while now. Absolute sham and a complete waste of money.

    For me it is white hair! I decided to go grey gracefully last year after developing a reaction to hair dye!

    Happy birthday for Sunday! At least if you are older, it also means that you are wiser too... You look lovely by the way, I can't see any grey from here :-)

    I'm the same age as you and suddenly lines and wrinkles appeared overnight. Unfortunately part of the secret to lovely wrinkle free skin is in your genes, although money can help to get plastic surgery ;)

    I am sure you are beautiful. Have a great birthday!

    I think I have one bottle of moisturiser which has lasted for years, it obviously doesn't get used very often!

    I'm an E45 girl I'm afraid, I can't afford the expensive stuff so I'm just getting wrinkly ;) I too avoid the mirror (unless there's a very soft light)!

    I hope you have a lovely birthday. Certainly something seems to happen after 40, I have varifocals, arthritis and varicose veins. Not impressed!!!

    Haha - yes I totally get this! It is the one thing I miss about wearing glasses - having a clear image of myself and my grey roots and dark undereyes and crows feet in the mirror. Much better to read Grazia and ignore the mirror - trust me ;-)
    Love Vicky

    LOL- Happy birthday for Sunday. I am fed up of plucking stray white hair (which are getting less stray) so am showing it two fingers and finally after years of hmmmm-ing dying my hair red next week. Good luck with the refund ;-)

    I understand where you are coming from - I have a couple of white hairs that despite dying my hair regularly tease me by glinting in the harsh bathroom light. Don;t even get me started on the wrinkles

    I always have a slight freak out at the hairdressers, I swear the lighting in there is designed to highlight ever line and wrinkle. X
