Don't worry about being 44 soon...believe me, it is entirely a temporary phenomenon... and you will soon be 45 ! C'est la vie !

I will be 49 on 16th May - as you say where did the last 10 years go? I still feel as if I am in my early 30's (I time I felt really good about myself) but know I don't look like it anymore.

However I would rather be honest about my age and have people say I look ok for my age, than pretend I am younger and have them think I have had a hard paper-round!

oh absolutely...can't understand women that lie or are secretive about their age, what's the point...although the 'ohhhhh really, you look so good for your age' compliment is one that people can stick as far as I am concerned...

I'll be 45 in a few months.....and am perfectly happy with it...life actually gets better the older I get.

A few more parties wouldn't hurt though.

Well...Some people are in their forties yet they say they are in their twenties...And when you call them on that, they get into a extreme drama mode...

I am comfortable with myself, but would prefer to be a little younger. No nmatter what you say, I reckon most think the same way. People usually guess me as younger and no denying this is nice, but not important.

Besides, people don't age in the same way they used to. Most of us don't give up and go down the pipe and slippers route so quickly.

I think we are very lucky, age, at this time, can just be a number.
