You know you’re a geriatric millennial or older when you remember when emojis were emoticons.
This has genuinely reminded me that I haven’t taken my supplements today 😅
Being a woman in your 40s is an ongoing adventure of wondering if you feel a bit off because of your hormones, because you’re under the weather, or because you ate too many onions etc last Thursday.
@jfjejw.bsky.social has revealed this happens to us all in our 50s 😄
And I will think of you 🥰
I had no idea there were Lucy bins!
One of the most shocking things of crossing over into my 40s is that I now have a favourite brand of bin.

I think that’s the main role for many a spouse btw. Duncan would vouch for that.
Oooh I’ve been wondering about a heater airer and whether it’s worth it or if it’ll just be another thing I’ll worry whether I’ve turned off when I leave the house

Umm, not wanting to brag, but I had Dean Gaffney…
Oh no
If you manage it share your tips! Hoods, hats and even rain covers are rejected in our house (and then complaints of being wet 🤪)
