Good oh!
In that case, I'm going to continue to use temporary silly colours on my hair until I decide it's time to stop and I will NOT be pressured into driving faster by people tailgating me.

I'm not sixty yet, does that mean I have to play be the rules?

(Even though I've already rebelled against most of them blush )

Wear trousers because they are so darn comfortable and not feel guilty that I never wear my skirts.
Skip the make-up for a quick dash to the shops ....what the hell if I look like a ghost without lipstick.
Have two glasses (or more!) of good wine when dining out with the family...they say its not good for my health!
I could actually go on and on......
Enjoy!

Not going to be bullied by anyone

Not going to be pressurised to buy fashion if I don't like it.

Not going to give up alcohol (but am cutting down)

cant think of much else I don't do what I don't want to now I'm retired (except constantly try to lose weight but that is for health reasons)

For me it is more about what I am doing or going to do.

Ski (spend the kids' inheritance).
Dress for comfort. Big knickers rule!
Do what I want when I want.
Put red streaks in my hair.
Refuse invitations to events I do not enjoy.

I am sure I shall think of many more examples.

I've decided that now I am in my seventies, I shall follow my new acronym ,S.I.N.G : "Seventy? I'm not going to!"

So far I've decided I'm not going to:
. Wear heels (unless attached to boots)
. Put up with people behind me in supermarket checkout queue starting to load their shopping onto the conveyor belt before I have finished-if a Look won't work, maybe a Word will do!
. Flush the loo every time when I'm in alone-water meters are cruel things!
. Accept any idea of when it's bedtime except my own.
Any other suggestions?
