Is this the beginning ?

I used a fancy new eyeliner for weeks and weeks, thinking it really wasn't giving the 'dramatic' effect it advertised. Very natural looking I thought. Then I realised I hadn't actually taken the lid off the little bottle at all, and was just using the pointed bit of the lid to run around my eyes.

Gosh fair play to you then. I'm 51 and feel more like 81. I started very very early though. That's my excuse

I was firing on all cylinders in my forties, fifties and sixties (or at least I thought I was, but perhaps, when I was 51 like you NannyTee it just didn't occur to me that I should slow down - or maybe I didn't realise I'd started to slow down).

From the age of seventy I did notice that I'd slowed down. At one time I thought I would retire at 75, but I'm ashamed to admit I've just retired and I'm only 72. I do feel like a bit of a slacker.

Varian I can totally relate. I could multi task 3-4 different things in my 30'S . I'm 51 and can't do two sometimes. It depends what we have on our minds. Bit scary at times though ?

How do we know whether we are definitely going gaga or just suffering from "normal ageing" - whatever that is?

I'm not as good as multi-tasking as I used to be. When I think what I actually did in one day when I was half the age I am now (and I don't think my memory has gone yet), I could not do half of that now. Is that what we have to expect?

No - mine is in one bathroom (mine, all mine) and his is in another!

gq hahaha

grannyqueenie ?

We went to visit bil and sil, often a rather awkward stay. Since I was suffering with dry eyes I packed some eye lid cleanser and put the bottle on their bathroom shelf to remind me to use it. Dutifully used it twice daily, though did feel it it wasn't so easy to apply as on previous occasions On day 3 I realised that the bottle on the shelf was in fact a vaginal lubricant!

He’s got the ensuite and I use the bathroom, it works well

Mine's in one cupboard, his is in another.
Just as well as I don't put my specs on until I've finished in the bathroom!

And I've sprayed my hair with deodorant . Nearly fell over when I looked in the mirror. All dusty white .

No have never used wrong toothbrush - but I have sprayed my underarms with hairspray instead of deodorant

still poorly - iyswim!!

Yuk, yuk!! Which is daft really when one considers the other things we share with our partners (ifswim!!)

No, never use DH's brush as we keep them in separate containers at our own side of the drawer. OCD moi ?

Yes, a couple of times but not recently. Now I use an electric one and he doesn’t like them. I have to remember though, when GS comes, to change the heads before he uses it. On the two occasions recently when each of my adult children have come to stay, there has been the plaintive cry of “Mum is there any toothpaste we can borrow?” We are not the only ones who forget things!

No but I brushed my teeth with savlon once
