What's on your agenda for today?

Georgia Lady, Ralphy is in therapy. Forgive him.

Aquarium? Salt water? Fresh water? And...if you travel, is there someone who would/could look after the fishes? Having one to look at isn't just pretty, it's also soothing.

Holly, I am one "officially old" person who can reach way, way back through the echoing corridors of time in her memory to when she turned 60 (4 years ago). It wasn't pretty. Now I feel silly that I made a trauma out of it because the last 4 years have been some of the best in my life and I've had a pretty good run. So don't cry, Holly. The best is yet to come! ;)

:yeahright:...only another 6 or 7 years until retirement.. *yikes*...that's longo timeo.... I wanna play nowwwww.. :D

I'm knackered now...never mind years to come...:rolleyes::D

Seriously tho' only 4 hours left to be 59 ...and that's me officially Middle aged... funny thing is on the drive to work this morning they were discussing age on the radio and it said offical statistics are now saying that Middle age these days doesn't start until your 60..so there you are folks if your in your 60's it's offical you ARE Middle aged...

Anyway..aside from that I had a very long verrrrry stressful day at work today, actually I called my Boss ( who is the cause of the majority of the problem ) and told her that I'd had enough,..more than enough and unless she started getting things dealt with in the way she should I was walking out right there and then ...and I bloody meant it......I sent her into a panic, don't go , I'm sorry, I didn't mean to to..I shouldn't have, I should have ...yada yada...anyway in the end I stayed ..fool that I am, and I know she'll be super nice to me again for a few weeks and then the same bull will start all over again.

I am absolutely shattered, crawled into the shower when I got home, and even tho' I haven't had time to eat all day I'm past it, just too tired to eat now.

Gotta be at the Southbank in the city tomorrow for my Birthday treat..a trip on the London Eye, followed by a River Cruise and apparently a secret surprise as well. wooohooo.. :D

I got some lovely cards and gifts from colleagues...and one of my colleagues and friend who lives and works at another venue in a different town 20 miles away actually drove over to see me with a gift and a card even tho' it was her precious day off, how lovely was that? :wiggle:

Sooo, there you go that's a tiny synopsis of my day today... hope you all had a better one.. :D
 
So sorry, Holly, for the pain in your back, and the boss who is a pain in the***. I hope your birthday is everything you could possibly hope for, special surprise and all. Not surprised at all that your friend drove considerable distance to deliver Birthday gifts and greetings in person, you deserve it, cuz you are a warm and special lady. We love you to bits on SF. :love_heart:
 

What a day Holly, it sounds terrible I hope things settle down a bit for you soon, how is your back standing up to it?

offical statistics are now saying that Middle age these days doesn't start until your 60..so there you are folks if your in your 60's it's offical you ARE Middle aged...

So at 73 I am only late middle aged then, maybe by the time I reach 80 it will be the new adolescence :lofl:
 
Holly, glad your hard day is over and now you can rest and play -- birthday plans sound like good times.

Don't worry about getting old, you'll be in the best company ... it's not so bad, honest..... you'll love it LOL. My father used to say "gettin' old, gonna die soon" for 25 years, until he finally did bite the dust at 82. So have fun while you can. Hope your birthday is happy. :love_heart:

Merlin, some of us never saw the need to leave the first one! (adolescence, that is). By all means, be an adult, but never, ever, grow up!

Its not all fun being an adult, but as a teenager you can't wait to be one, its only later that you realise its not quite what you thought it was.

The adult me is pretty superficial anyway, a veneer just covering my inner child who will never age thank goodness!!!
 
Merlin , the back is giving me holy GYP tonight, it hurt like the devil today so I sent someone to buy me a pack of frozen peas to use as a cold compress ..

*waves* to Cookie and Shali, & Georgia...yeah I know I'll never be old while I got you wunnerful ladies to keep the fun in everything...:love_heart::love_heart:

My daughter who lives in Spain sent me a china Mug which has her face printed on it pulling a funny...and she's been texting me all day pulling my leg about needing a walker soon.. a short time ago at a 1/4 to 9 she said..get to bed it's time old people were asleep...LOL..she's such a cheeky bint.. :D

Here's the link to the article in the news yesterday about the new age of Middle age.. :D

I used to work with backs a lot Holly when I was practicing holistic massage and shiatsu, many moons ago, I found a pressure release technique using shiatsu/acupuncture pressure points, gave instant relief in some cases, by releasing muscle spasm and taking the pressure off nerves in the area. I still use the technique on my daughter and Lisa for shoulder pain sometimes, it always seems to work. It may not be appropriate in your case as I know you have had surgery

I hope you get some relief from it for your birthday celebrations tomorrow.

The milestones of 40 and 50 and 60 didn't bother me at all. 30 was a bitch. I just HATED turning 30. Now, I'm waiting (2 1/2 more years) to see how I feel about 70.
Click to expand...

You, too? 30 about sent me around the bend. It was in the days of "don't trust anyone over 30". Turning 40, 50, 60 were ho-hum, just another day. Turning 70 surprised me because I hadn't expected to live to 70. Yet here I am:D
 
Good Morning everyone..just after 7am here, it's slightly foggy but it's not too chilly, I hope the sun comes out for later so I can get some good photos from the EYE

Thank you for all your best wishes.. :cheers: I'm going into the city by train, much less stressful than going by car with London traffic so dense ..and it only takes about 30 minutes to get into central London and then a couple of Tubes and we'll be there :D Not leaving until about 9am, and I don't expect to be late home because it's a day trip before my big night out tomorrow at the Mike and the Mechanics Concert *does a little dance* :banana: ...so hopefully if I'm not too tired I'll pop on here later this evening and tell you all about it.. :cool:

What ho....Have a spiffing day my dears...:thumbsup:
 
Annie thanks so much for the HUGE Birthday greetings..:D...OOh Goodness yes I saw that it was your anniversary on my Birthday meant to comment on it before I went to bed last night


Happy Anniversary Annie and Mr A...enjoy your dinner out..
