Course not - we are women! We can have one as often as; and whenever we like! ;) :lol:

Hell, no! I'm on my third! :thumbup:

One of them was most likely mine. :p

I'm 60 and I haven't had one yet. ;)

No, it's bang on the money if you're going to croak at 70.

Just after I passed 40 I had finished my OU degree and was feeling very low.

I took two weeks off, got on my bike and rode down through France, from Calais to the Med. I raised £10K for Cancer Research.

It gave me time to think. As it was October (it rained and blew gale force winds 7 out of 10 days) the ride was 'character-building'.:ohmy:

Since then I have ridden more miles than in the rest of my life and I love it. My OH encourages me (probably to get me out of the house) and now rides with me.

Exactly, I feel very self-indulgent!

I am very busy but it's all mental stuff, lot of plate spinning! And a wee bit too much time on my own this week. I should get out on my bike, the only problem with being miserable is that it is a real effort to do anything and then I only feel worse when my self-motivation fails!

I have to say the immigration stuff doesn't worry me too much as it is all too distant!

There comes a time when we all take stock of our lives and wonder what on earth we are doing and how can we make it more fulfulling - that to me is mid-life crisis time. Wasn't far off that age when we decided to emigrate :p (Mmmm, wonders how many people actually do decide to emigrate during their M.L.C. :confused::blink::eek:)

HWP - note that your crisis came 7 years apart. I believe there is a 7-year cycle. It's the stereotypical '7-year itch' whether it's relationships, housing or job.

A friend of mine's is so fed up with her house (which is lovely BTW) thats she is desperate to move. I found out that they have lived there for 14 years so I told her it's no wonder she's desperate as she has 2 x 7-year itches to scratch :p

How are you?

I'm great thanks (great thread - given me some food for thought).

This will sound really bad (but hey, I am old ;) ), but I don't remember your name/who you are. Have you changed it, or have I just lost more brain cells to dementia?? :lol:

Nah, you're not old or demented, I morphed a while back to a different user name as I got bored of my old one! :D

I'll send you some karma and tell you who I used to be!

Going by your username I would have thought that you had some music that makes you want to move around to

Then it occurred to me that I might be having a mid-life crisis?

I bought a red MR2 which my OH suggested was some form of mid life crisis - soon got back on track when I realized there was absolutely no room for luggage......

How about taking up pole dancing? Good exercise and let you get
in touch with your feminine self:)
