What Makes You Feel Your Age?

Notso

It's all the stuff I pick up in the pharmacy section on my way round the supermarket, and the top shelf in my kitchen cupboard that has medications for every ailment. I used to laugh about the amount of stuff that would be in my mum's house, but I've probably got more than her. And when I take my washing out of the drum, there's always a crepe bandage in there, as I am forever binding my poorly knee up.

Fortunately, all my friends say the same thing, so I am not alone.

notso.....loud belly laugh..at least you burp and dont fart.

Notso that did make me smile!

What makes me feel my age, or perhaps to be more accurate, recognise my age? 1 word answer, mirrors I hate the bastards.

I sometimes do nellie ......I blame all the veg I'm eating on the Gransnet diet. I'm ladylike about it though.

Me too phoenix! Hate them!
Especially the bloody magnifying one I have to use to find the whiskers on my chin!

NO! I am ageing gracefully I think? Hope?

I am now at x10 mirror for that, (use a x3 for putting make up on) have given up on trying to do my own eyebrows, pay to have them waxed instead.

Where would we be without a x10 mirror

The age spots on my hands

Oh and forgot the worst the facial hair

YES that is the worst!

Having to use my hands to lift a leg over a stile when out walking. It takes forever for a group of us to climb over.

grey hair downstairs xx

NO WAY could I get over a stile! I just wish I could!
Even putting on a pair of tights is an acrobatic feat!

The urge to drop off half way through the afternoon.

Facial hair - and...nose hairs!

taking my shorts off to go topless sunbathing,plasters on the backs of my heels where my bum rubs..and the way I walk oh.. and the mirror just about everything really..lol

When DGS5 asks "did they have such and such in olden times nana"

Oh Nellie wetting myself when you make me laugh!!

Also that dumpy old woman who follows me in shop windows!

My grandma used to fart uncontrollably when she got old, which made us all giggle like mad, then my father did when he got old. The other day I did the same in front of my adult grandson who tactfully said nothing. Then there's age spots on the hands, flat warts growing here and there, hairs on the chin which I often leave for ages because i don't notice, and those little pleated lines going down my top lip. And that's not to mention the polymyalgia rheumatica and a recently developed dicky hip!

Oh, and flapping at the check-outs in supermarkets and chatting too much to strangers.

Oh yes - chatting to strangers. When I was talking to the plumber yesterday, I suddenly thought "You are going on like an old granny!"

Yes! I know! I am an old granny! (well, not that old!)

I woke up this morning feeling very low, as you do, but reading all these posts has made me LOL and I feel so much better. Thank you ladies

trying to climb stairs makes me feel really old. Just had a new stair lift installed-magic for carting things up and down stairs.dgc can't wait to try it, they think it's really cool.
