Things I am now too old to do (a list)

gingerbread - love your comments...how very true.

Sleep through the night
Drink more than a glass of wine without food without having a killer headache for 2 days

Take anything too seriously.

Indeed glassortwo, it isn't meant for the head end.

Actually they seem a bit 'Earth Mother" to me and have no idea how popular they are not being part of the menstruating set any more .

Hurrah.

Cant get my head around Mooncup, ( but possibly that's where I am going wrong).

Looks rather like a cross between a condom and an eggcup bluegran. www.mooncup.com if you want to have a look.

Mooncup = reusable sanitary protection - worse than gross if you ask me but highly fashionable on mumsnet!

Excuse my naivety but what is a 'mooncup'?

I agree with SLINKY re the rest of the subjects. The feeling of freedom from monthlys is priceless. pity the sex dosen't work so well anymore. But you get used tio the celibacy, its a kind of freedom also.

Too old for most of the junk on TV

too old to bother with another museum, city,cathedral,old masters! Been there done that!!
Happy to be at home just being!

I'm too old to listen to bullshit - I just walk away.

I'm too old to care which colours are in fashion - I wear what suits me.

I'm too old to worry about unimportant things - que sera sera.

I'm too old to care if I look weird when I dance (and believe me, I do look weird).

Oh Slinky I so agree .

That is THE best thing about being 'differently aged ' ( what on earth is that phrase all about ) .

I never suffered as some women do ,never had floods or cramps. But I was so relieved to see the back of them.

Im too old to stand for any nonsense from anyone who annoys me <Victor Meldrew icon>

I'm actually too old to need a mooncup.

Thank god for that.

So I'm too old to menstruate. The shackles of the monthly blood letting have gone, I am free to travel, sit at meetings, go swimming and a million other things without wonder what time of month it is and have I got tampons in my bag.

Utter the word 'mooncup' without feeling just a little bit sick.

I cant wear high heels now either, they hurt.
Not able to wear a bikini
Ditto dresses with a waist
Slim tight jeans
Must be some more things I cant do anymore.

1. Suffer the press.

2. Walkabout for more than 10 minutes.

3. Ride (In any shape or form

4. Go through another divorce in the family.

5. Let an idiot loose with a chip-pan in my 2nd home (one fire is enough in anybody's lifetime).

6. Have another anus horribilis without losing my rag.

7. Put up with DH racing around in a Carriage with a woman half his age.

8. Accept any more damn trees as gifts from one of my DSs.

A pub crawl in town with the girls from work, I can do without it! One pub but cant trail around.

Does that make me old!

I am struggling a bit to cut my toenails but have real determination

I cannot suffer fools gladly (see 2 above)

Same about the heels

I can't get drunk and function normally the next day, I need at least a weekend to recover!
