My menopausal moment came on my 50th birthday. 

I attended one of those “Free” lunches at a really posh hotel in our area.  The catch was I had to listen to a short presentation, but in return I would get not only the lunch but also a valuable gift.

Anyway, as it was a milestone birthday I thought it would be a great way to celebrate, and something to relate if anyone ever asked me what I’d done.   The prospect of being able to truthfully say I’d dined at this particular hotel was very appealing, and there was no need to explain the circumstances.

Many of my peers had been on holidays, cruises, or thrown big lavish parties, but I wasn’t in the financial or personal position of being able to do either. (more…)

I have always been an early bird and am very good at getting up in the mornings.  I know it’s not the case for everyone though, and often see people drag themselves, bleary eyed past my house on their way to catch the morning train. 

I feel sorry for them, especially when the weather is bad and know they’ll arrive for work cold and wet.  In the summer too, when the weather is warm and sunny, they’ll be stuck indoors trading their time for money making someone else richer.

Just lately my in-box has been inundated with e-mails about Butterfly reports.I’ve resisted opening them because I knew it would end up with me either downloading something else I didn’t really have time to read, or worse still, buying yet another programme, or piece of software I had no idea how to use.

 

I’ve done that a lot in the past, but recently had a birthday and decided the newer, (older and wiser) me,would be more sensible. I’d only buy things I absolutely needed at the time, and would only open e-mails if I’d already done everything else I needed to do.
