I am ten years older than you and I started to feel my age when I was about your current age. Now though, even thirty somethings like yourself make me feel old…

Sometimes though, I look at photos taken ten years ago and I think: “Don’t I look young?”

If only we could see ourselves at the age we are now, as if we were ten years older than we are now…

Back then it was just a ‘caff’ and was horrid. Originally worked in the kitchen (no tips) and then progressed to waitressing. The tips were pretty bad, so, even though the place now bears no resemblance whatsoever to the way it was when I worked there, I massively overtip! My mum hates going there with me!

It’s a good way to breathe new life into scones that have been around a day or two — in fact it works best when they aren’t absolutely fresh.

I was doing exactly what you were in the newsagents, except I was eating a lot of sweets whilst not being able to find that ounce of Golden Virginia. Never got fat, & there lies the rub … getting older … fewer sweets = more pounds!

You split them and the surfaces brown just as a piece of bread would. Not sure why they’d turn to cinders unless you leave them toasting so long that you’d need to call the fire brigade. Not sure, either, what “yeast scones” are — normal scones are made with baking powder.

Haven’t yet achieved that which I want most, marry and have children – or have a child with someone supportive even. What happens if we just don’t get what we want?
