Hi Helen, yeah I know what you mean, it's lovely when you get them done. My hair is naturally very blonde so now I have my daughter put low lights in mine, slap on a bit of fake tan (Vichy is a good one) not too fake looking and it really makes a difference! If you're a none smoker too it shows in your skin. :0)

Looks kinda distinguished when you have a white quiff in black hair on a woman, or white sides like Cruella

There is nothing like a dame
Nothing you can name
Nothing looks like a dame
Nothing feels like a dame
And theres nothing wrong with any man here
That can't be cured by putting him near
A femine, female, cuddly, dame

Eating a varied vegetarian diet of foods you grew yourself seems the "safe" option, but how many of us can do that ?

Good Evening Eveyone

I’m Fine Thankyou

There is nothing the matter with me,
I’m as healthy as I can be,
I have arthritis in both my knees
And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze,
My pulse is weak, and my blood is thin,
But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.

Arch supports I have for my feet,
Or I wouldn’t be able to walk in the street.
Sleep is denied me night after night,
But every morning I find I’m alright.
My memory is fading, my heads in a spin,
But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.

The moral is this as my tale I unfold –
That for you and I who are growing old,
It’s better to say ‘I’m fine’ with a grin,
Than to let people know the shape we are in
How do I know my youth is all spent?
Well, my ‘get up and go’ has got up and went,
But I really don’t mind when I think with a grin,
Of all the places my ‘get up’ has bin.

‘Old age is golden’ I’ve heard it said,
But, sometimes I wonder as I get into bed,
With my ears in the drawer, my teeth in a cup,
My eyes on the table until I wake up,
Ere sleep overtakes me I say to myself,
‘Is there anything else I could lay on the shelf?

’When I was young my slippers were red,
I could kick my heels over my head.
When I was older my slippers were blue,
But I could still dance the whole night through.
Now I am old my slippers are black,
I walk to the shops and puff my way back.

I get up each morning and dust off my wits,
And pick up the paper and read the ‘Obits’.
If my name is still missing I know I’m not dead,
So I have a good breakfast- and face what’s ahead.
