I have my hair cut and dyed every 5 weeks. I use good face moisturisers. But that's my limit. I've somtimes wondered if I should make more effort but can't be arsed bothered. I've said this befor but deep down I know you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear or as I heared from one of my relatives on my very recent trip to liverpool 'you can't polish a turd' (They weren't talking about me in this instance) I will just have to grow old ....badly.

Following in from the Judy Finnegan thread and the obvious dislike of plastic surgery amongst those on the thread, I just wondered how far are we prepared to go to? plastic surgery is apparently not favoured but what about Botox? Fillers? Hair dye? I've had cosmetic work done on my teeth(veneers), have my hair cut and coloured monthly and also have my nails done professionally every three weeks and also leg and eyebrow waxes. Most of my friends/family have their hair dyed as well, my best friend -also in her 60's- has a fab short, spiky cut in a lovely plum colour just now and she looks fab! My nails are currently a fetching shade of midnight blue!
