I love costume jewellary, and at the moment in Next they have some fab bracelets and chunky necklaces. I was in there the other day and treated myself to two. When I got to the till to pay for them in a very patronising voice, the assistant said "Are these a present for someone else", I said No, actually there are for me- shock horror, what was I thinking!!!! buying myself some bracelets at 64!!!

Age is a number, we should celebrate it, and if we want to wear something, that is trendy or fashionable as long as we dont look ridiculous I dont know why there is ageism.

We have a new shopping centre here its great, only three floors with plenty of escalators etc, I asked a security guy where a particular store was, he looked at me, and said "Can you cope with stairs", why he thought I might not be able to manage the stairs is a mystery - I suppose he could have just been polite.
