I was a happy baby (The photographer must have been waving a pie)

That's me in the front and no, I've never grown into those ears.
Apparently I sneezed when I was just born and out they flapped.

Flares & platforms the first time round.This was the year that I was planning my wedding to David Cassidy.

A scary perm at some point in your life is compulsory(1990)
Well I can honestly say that I can't believe I'm 50 as I just don't feel it (that doesn't mean to say I don't look it mind!) In my head I don't feel older than 30. Age, as they say is just a state of mind.
In reality of course I know that just around the corner lurk the things that 'women of a certain age' will inevitably have to suffer - hot flushes, a hairy chin, grumpiness, varicose veins, control pants, unexpected flatulence and 'easy-fit' polyester trousers*.
I won't go down without a fight though.
*Husband informs me that most of these things have already started.
Happy Birthday Jan! And may I say that you don't look a day over 30.
ReplyDeleteSuperb perm.
Lol! Happy birthday Jan. Congratulations on one of the cutest baby pictures ever too x
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, you look as if you are growing into those ears very gracefully. I hope you are going for the all new Birthday year rather than a simple 'day' of treats and activities.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you! And thanks for sharing those photos - they're all charming, even the one with the perm!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jan! - great photos....Im especially liking the 80's look, very Wall Street.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! 50 is the new 40 after all...

A belated happy birthday. I followed you here from TM's blog. I had the scary perm once too. I already have the hairy chin and I've got four years to go before the big 50. I feel about aged 10 so do you mature fast between 46 and 50 or am I just a late developer? Love these photos.
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this post too? It must be my age. Congratulations - you missed Tenalady from your list and I can confirm that M&S do a lovely elastic waist trouser for when you have to eat pie!!!!
