So I was lurking 'on the other side' (Mumsnet) when I saw this www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/2439665-Omg-Im-getting-old-whats-your-evidence-Heres-mine

How to tell you're getting older. Obviously I ticked pretty much every box but then I realised - they are young. What does that make me?

Really enjoyed reading the whole thread smile
Cheered me up to think 40 something's have the same problems as me.

Ha ha! How old are they??

I don't remember life being like that when I was forty-something!

You're older, Cari? Then I'm an antique. However, when I was early 40s I was playing squash, swimming regularly, doing three part-time jobs - four if I include Weightwatchers and organising an annual bbq for a well known charity. And I can still get up out of a chair without grunting, despite two replaced joints - or maybe because of them! What a lot of moaning minnies on the other side!
