I THINK I'm having a mid-life crisis, known to some as early onset dementia or middle age madness.
Now 41, but feeling exactly the same mentally as I did when I was 25, I feel the need to stop my youth slipping away. I'll have to tie it down more securely.
So on Monday, when I have my usual six-weekly appointment with the hairdresser, I'm going to... get a more radical hair colour. Woo hoo! Go for it girl!

Love is in the air
Posted by Fading Rock Chick on April 3, 2008 3:45 PM
OK, OK, I give up... due to popular demand, here’s an update into my really interesting love life.
(Can two requests be described as popular demand? They can now!)
Regular readers (hello Ruthie! Yo there Smokehouse!) have been demanding to know how the romance with Mr Lonely Heart is going.
I think swimmingly is an apt description! It’s been ten weeks since we first communicated, and we’ve just been away together for Easter.
There, is that enough? Tough if it’s not – that’s all you’re getting! What do you think this is, the News of the World?

You shook me all night long (well, for a few seconds, anyway)
Posted by Fading Rock Chick on February 27, 2008 3:45 PM
LIKE many people in this country, I was rudely awoken just before 1am this morning by a violent shaking.
Unlike many of the aforementioned, I did not leap out of bed, run to the window and start screaming about the end of the world being nigh...

Gone fishin'
Posted by Fading Rock Chick on February 6, 2008 4:16 PM
REGULAR readers (oh come on, there must be a couple of you) will be eager to know the results of my experimental lonely hearts ad, placed in the local paper (for local people, of course) a couple of weeks ago.

Teacher, leave those kids alone
Posted by Fading Rock Chick on January 25, 2008 10:32 AM
IF you’re a parent, you’ll probably be familiar with that horrible, stomach-crunching feeling you get whenever you receive a telephone call from your child’s school.
It’s never going to be good news... they don’t ring up to tell you your little cherub has been given a sticker for doing their sums right, or has just read the word ‘definitely’ without flinching... no, undoubtedly it’s something bad – in that second before they tell you, you just hope it’s nothing dreadful.

You (haven't) gotta carry that weight
Posted by Fading Rock Chick on January 18, 2008 3:40 PM
IT seems to be one of the modern world’s greatest ironies that half the world struggles daily to find enough to eat, while the other half is busy stuffing itself into obesity.
It’s also ironic that, of the latter, a growing proportion is constantly seeking ever more bizarre ways to shed excess fat.
Look, face it, there’s only one way to lose weight permanently, and that is to eat less and move around more.

Love me do
Posted by Fading Rock Chick on January 10, 2008 3:06 PM
SO it’s 2008, she said, stating the bleeding obvious again...
OK, what are you going to change this year? Have you made any resolutions yet, and if so, have you broken them already?
Being a non-smoker, moderate drinker, drug abstainer and all-round nice person (ahem...) I decided to make negative resolutions this year, one of which has been to swear more, the other of which is too rude for a family newspaper...

O come all ye faithful
Posted by Fading Rock Chick on December 20, 2007 10:48 AM
ARE you excited yet?
Are you eagerly awaiting the Big Day itself?
Do you come downstairs each morning and rush to the advent calendar, that concrete evidence that the days are passing by and soon it will be here - the day we've been waiting for for what seems an age.
Yes, it's nearly upon us... oo, I can't wait...
That's right - it's nearly Dr Who Special day!!!!! Hooray!
Enjoy!

Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Posted by Fading Rock Chick on November 8, 2007 1:05 PM
FINALLY got a new wheelie bin the other day – more than three months since the original went missing.
Coincidentally, the new bin arrived a couple of days after I asked a friend – who happens to be a reporter for the Daily Post – if he wanted a ‘Wirral Council is rubbish’ story.
Odd, that...

Is there anybody out there?
Posted by Fading Rock Chick on November 8, 2007 12:54 PM
THERE’S one thing in life guaranteed to annoy me more than anything else – and that’s being ignored.
I hate it. I know it’s a tad egotistical, based on a probably spurious belief in my own importance, but I can’t help it.
...Are you paying attention at the back?
