BEEN THERE FORGOT THE TEE SHIRT! - By: M. Drake, 05 Dec 2007 
Shelly`s book is essential reading for anyone who has trailed aound the house looking for lost keys or come downstairs for something, having to go back upstairs to remember what it was! A funny book full of helpful hints to survive the mid & later life crisises.

An odd little book, but entertaining - By: Dr. H. Payne, 24 Nov 2007 I bought this for my parents although, ironicallly, the print is rather smalll & I'm concerned that they may struggle with it! I started browsing through it myself & was hooked. The book is a complete hotchpotch of ideas & styles. There are quotes from politicians, writers, comedians & actors. One-liners, jokes, anecdotes & more serious advice. There is no over-riding structure, it just seems to ramble on in whichever direction feels good at the time.
It only took a couple of hours to read, so is not great value for money. Some of the advice comes across as a little obvious or patronising & feels a little out of place in what I took to be a humorous coffee table/bathroom book. There are a lot of well-known quotes in here which may again make you feel that you've wasted your money. It seems that the writer has a particular liking for certain comedians as well who are quoted bizarrely often.
Overalll though it does take a light-hearted look at the effects of ageing (which it assumes occur in those turning 40, not just over retirement age). So not a bad little stocking filler.
