I have grey hair in more than 1 location. I have wrinkles. My bosoms are not as pert as they used to be.
I am a 41 year old woman and I accept these little insults as part of the inevitable ageing process.
There are things about me which are sometimes thought of as the trademark of the young.
I have spots on my chin. I have nits.
Now I wonder why I am still single ? Spots, grey hair, wrinkles AND nits.

About Me
- auntiegwen
- When I started this blog in 2007 I was a single parent with 3 children aged 14, 11 and 10. Now in 2016, every one of those children has grown up and left home. I now live with my lovely best friend, my second and last husband and fellow blogger Mr Adventures in Reality and part of the time with the boy wonder, the one he made earlier. We try and outwit the offspring, do the house up and travel as much as we can.

I caught nits from my children about a week after meeting my lovely Husband-to-be. I had to phone him to advise he check his head just in case. And he still married me...
Aawh thank you Karen, maybe that means I'll be getting a new man soon !!!
That would be nice
Well, I'm free :) - And Ryanair will get you here - Check your mail :)
PS - I have grey hair myself - It's OK, I understand
Are nits head lice? (Sorry, different country here.) I have four girls who habitually grab the nearest hair brush -- mine. Can you imagine the mess we had when one of them came home from school with lice? I spent $200 on stuff that was supposed to kill them (the lice, not the kids); we washed ALL the bedding and pillows, vacuumed couches and chairs, bagged toys and books. We went through it THREE times before we finally got rid of the lice. Know what did it? An 87-cent bottle of rubbing alcohol! I don't know what it might do to hair color, but it got rid of the lice. Good luck, dear lady; I STILL have nightmares about trying to get rid of the little critters!
Liam - thanks, I'll be seeing you soon !
Shirley - yes, you'll know EXACTLY how I feel, love your photo, so when you gonna blog for us ?
Haha Gwen! Am I going to have to come across the pond and kick your butt? lol! Repeat after me, "I am not old. I am not old. I am not old."
Yes, I do have a blog. I just sent you an email with information about it.
Auntiewen, you just wait for the forgetfulness gene to kick in.

Lisa - ok ok I'm not old, just youthfully challenged
TF - oh that's already happened, sadly
WM - I'm afraid all I can do is laugh !
Holy hell, don't even get me started on the whole I'm over 40 and it's all going down hill from here crap. I found a chin HAIR the other day. Never have I had one before. ugh.
Thanks Craze - thats something else I've got to look forward to !!!
I think we just have to love ourselves for our aging quirks. *shrugging* What else is there to do? Which reminds me I need to go buy hair dye within the next few weeks. Oy.
Oh yeah, don't get Craze started on aging or she'll never shut up! lol
I am also 41. I have little, stiff black beard hairs on my chin that have to be tweezed at regular intervals.
My children have used my breasts for punching bags, and it shows.
I eat less and exercise regularly and still cannot lose weight.
Golden years my butt!
Cece -thanks for visiting and as always yep I need hair dye too
Mom of three - ooh beard hair, if you've got it and Craze's got it, it can only be a matter of time for me !
hehehehe....I'm 38 and I swear to goddess that someone is getting back at me for all those perky-body years that I wore a tshirt over my bathing suit. Now I wear a muumuu...
LOL. ok, maybe not, but now when I don't give a rats arse about wearing a bikini, I literally shouldn't lest I scare the wee fishies...
