I blinked! then suddenly my DD was 40!!

Thanks all.

?

LOL some good ones! I remember my dear mum buying me a long blue wynceyette nightie and some bridget jones knickers! I thought it was a joke! but no! that was my 40th birthday present

I blinked and DS was 50. Seeing him going grey, has also been a bit of blink moment because it started during all the COVID lockdowns.

DD will be 50 next year (we will be 80). Her menopause hasn't bothered me because she had some problems a few years ago, which were resolved with the insertion of slow release hormone coil, that means, the menopause is all done and dusted. So it has been more a medical problem than anything else.

Blink…my eldest DGD started Uni last year…

Gulp….

I'm on my way to a friend's 80th birthday party. I thought how did that happen I'm still a few years off but there's no escape.
Enjoy your anniversary *Calendar girl*

BLINk.....I am 74. That’s old, no longer can I get away with just being ‘middle aged’. Dds both mid 40s, it’s they who are middle aged.

This blinking business is clearly dangerous.
Those lines in the mirror......nah....

Congratulations, Calendargirl

What a lovely post Calendargirl Many congratulations to you both??

What a blinking surprise to realise both DDs are in their 40s, eldest peri menopausal and, another surprise, both GDs are teenagers, eldest off to university next year. The biggest blinking surprise though is I am 72….What!??? Am I now an adult??

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, Kalu ?

If I could sing there's be no problem

I was going to say that I blinked and then I was in my 50s, but I might get lynched

I blinked and realised in a few weeks time I will have been a widow 25years.

I am 74 and have honestly lost 10years,no idea where they went.

I am giving this growing up lark some serious thought. ?

I read recently that the number of years from 1882 to 1952 is the same as the number of years from 1952 to 2022.

That really can't be right

What about when your daughters start going through the menopause. That felt really wierd!

When I was coming up to 50, my mother horrified me by saying, ‘Oh, that’s good - you’ll be able to go on Saga holidays now.’
Over 20 years later dh and I still don’t feel we’re there yet - I do know a lot of people rate them very highly though. A widowed friend has enjoyed more than one solo long-haul holiday with them.

A ninety year old aunt once told me "Wait until your daughter is 60 - then you'll feel old!" At the moment DD is 48 so I've got a way to go yet!

My dad is 87, he can't believe he has a dd who is a pensioner lol.

Having a baby at a very young age means being a mum to an adult of fifty-something while in your 60s..... One of the reasons (if this is you) never to hesitate to tell someone your real age!

Very comforting, Davida1968 but I was an elderly primigravada!

I blinked and my life was gone.

It’s scary isn’t it. Mine are 42 and 39. Our oldest grandchild 20 ! But, I can’t believe we’ve been married 44 years ?where the heck did that go.

Yep Bikergran my son is 40 in December, how did that happen?
On the same day my beautiful grandson will be 8. He was a babe in arms.
All in the blink if an eye.

We moved in to this house, 5 minutes ago when I was 40.
The millennia when they told us the world would come to halt when computers blew up . (Actually 2020 and pandemic did that)

How did we get 2022 almost 2023

I blinked, looked in the mirror and it was my mum looking back. How I miss her xx

My eldest daughter, 46, has been told she is going through the peri-menopause. I have two teenage granddaughters.

Many congratulations Calendargirl.

My DS is 43; his partner (my DD-out-law), will be 50 soon; she was born the year late DH and I were married!
And DD will be 40 in January...

I blinked again and my eldest grandchild is 31!

I was advised some time ago to stop blinking!
