Talking about getting old

In the chemist today there was a sign advertising half-price home-testing kits. Now I'm sure you know you can buy pregnancy testing kits but did you know you can also test yourself for a stomach ulcer? Or chlamydia(?)? Or, best of all, the menopause?

Night-time sweats, hot flushes, irritability, forgetfulness, and increased hairiness not good enough for you?

Oooh my doctor says I have all the symptoms of menopause but that I'm too young! Maybe I should test myself!

Honest Shirl, you don't need a testing kit and you cannot be too young! I rely for my oestrogen supply on the dear little patch on my posterior as I have no ovaries...when I have to stop using them, you'll all know about it!
