A sense of fun.     These days I just don't feel like I either have fun anymore, or am fun.      Years ago I used to go out and was always the entertaining, funny one (not bragging), always had the group in fits of laughter.   These days I can't be bothered going out, and mostly I bore even myself now when I am talking.   Perhaps its a 'getting older' thing.

Also, like so many of you, I miss the good female friend thing.    Last time I had one was at my last job, when we went through a bit of a traumatic experience together, and we howled with laughter on occasions, sometimes we cried, sometimes we even shouted at each other briefly.   But our office was always full of people at that time, because in the middle of all the rubbish that was going down, no-one could quite understand how we were working 18-19 hour days in incredibly stressful circumstances and still managing to collapse with laughter every few minutes!   But that was because we were just so in-tune with each other.    Sadly, I just can't see that kind of friendship ever happening again in my life right now.

God how I miss working, but then I have to sort that one out, one way or another, so thats resolvable.

I miss getting excited about things; I should still get excited about things, but somehow not much is exciting any more.

Heh heh, now I sound llike a manic depressive (perhaps I am, maybe thats the problem !!).

I dont know how to do the 'quotes' thingie but Londoneye sounds as though you have got into my head.  My best friend and I used to go shopping at lunchtime, just for chops, birthday cards etc.  We teased the young man in the butchers, bought cards that we called Happy Unbirthday cards to send to anyone we could think of to let them know we cared and danced in front of the security cameras in the building society, and come back to work singing 'Bring me Sunshine' with all the actions.  No-one would believe we were sober, they would have if they'd seen us out on the town at night, so much like Edina and Pasty in Ab Fab.  I remember lying in the flower bed showing my knickers while the taxi driver tried to lift me up and my friend couldnt help for laughing.  Ok, a bit mad, but now I am so boring.  My social calendar reads like my mothers used to.  Monday - Dr, Wednesday - hospital, pick up tablets Friday boring boring boring.  Unfortunately, we have married, divorced, got older, got sick.  She came to visit earlier this year and it was like it was 20 years ago, getting drunk and laughing so much we were wetting our knicks (is that because we are incontinent now!!).

I want to dance and sing and act stupid but you can't do it on your own or you just get locked up so I dont get excited about things as I used to, but Londoneye you cannot be manic depressive or you would feel well excited a lot of the time (it's one of the symptoms).

Someone said this thread made them laugh but it made me really sad, what is missing, being 25, 30 or 35 and not looking forward to being 55 or 60 and not being able to get that zing back.

The British and University Libraries where I can sit all day with my head in rare books researching obscure facts about long dead people; National Film Theatre on the South Bank; LSE for socialising with chums and the excellent fish and chip shop in Hornchurch.

We had a wonderful day here on Sunday, 32 friends for lunch (including Hoddy and her OH) to celebrate two birthdays and a wedding anniversary and after a day like that, the things I'm missing sort of don't seem so important.

Don't you mean a bad woman?  The good ones aren't half so much fun?
