Am I the only one here who actually feels more confident the older they get?

No you're not.

My personal mantras these days are "Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it" and "Get on with it then".

Making mistakes is a fact of life that I've learned to accept; I've had a lot of practice after all. It's tremendously freeing to realise that nobody's going to shoot me if I make an error.

I'd get you a pressie, but I can't think of anything in my price bracket to come close to compensate for the Zune - that really sucks. The only known zune in the whole EU is now lost :cry:

I'll join you in a wallow though. I'm good at that!

On the bright side, you're over 15 years younger than me and you always will be. You're also a lot prettier and lot more French :lol:

I have, too, if I'm honest. I still get cards and small gifts, but otherwise it's just another day.

There's no point - you can't stop it happening so why bother about it.

Waiting for tomorrow, just another day
God bid yesterday good-bye


Time passes at the same rate whether you worry about it or not.
