Becoming 40

I'm the 40 this year and beginning to get a real 40 thing! Each day i look in the mirror i swear i have one more wrinkle around my eyes! I don't do wrinkle creams as i'm not sure they're just a gimmick but i have started on the water as i think that is the best de wrinkle solution you can have.

I have noticed grey hair too! More and more of the blighters! Im a red head and was told that red heads don't go grey their hair fades? You can imagine that believing this for all those years and finding that awful first grey strand was devasting! Fickle? Yep but for God sake i am a red head, NOT GINGER! I've put up with being teased for years at school, freckles and the usual pale skin BUT now i'm grey, i want my RED roots, its costing me a fortune in having my hair tinted back to my natural colour!

The other thing i'm on a diet! Yep the usual but i think i have middle aged spread already! :( Its been easier than i thought and have lost half a stone in 4 weeks which is a good healthy weight loss but i have to lose another 2 stone!

Oh i hate being nearly 40, someone tell me its not that bad!?
