Time flies

It is to do with proportions because if you are ten years old then a year is a tenth of your life, but for me it is 1/70th.
Does that make sense? A year for me goes by in a blink but it is a long time for a child.
And also time goes much faster when you are over the hill and hurtling down the other side, gaining speed as you go!

I'm still paying for last Christmas! Help!

It's hardly worth taking down the Xmas decorations

It's Christmas that gets to me - it surely cannot be Christmas next month - I have bits not tidied away from last time!!!

Time is like the sand in an hour glass. The less there is left, the faster it goes

Yes accounting month end Newquay - drives me nuts. No sooner do I get one out of the way then they're telling me they need all the information for the next one!

I think you've got it spot on M0nica my grandma lived to be 99 and she used to say that a day passed by like an hour and a week like a day..... she explained it exactly as you said as a proportion to how long you have lived.

If you think back to when you were a child, Christmas, birthdays, holidays etc seemed ages to come along and as you get older you start to think "oh my goodness it can't be Christmas again already can it?"

Each morning as DH comes downstairs, I greet him with a smile, a 'good morning' or some such. Some days I say "Didn't I already say that? Oh, must have been yesterday "

Is that an accounting month end then Willow?

It's always month end - even in the middle of the month we're working on month end - it's no b*** wonder time is flying so fast!!

My DH always says “what, bin day again ? It does seem to come around quickly, and yes, so do Saturdays!
Wish life would slow down.

I think it is a proportionate thing. At 10, 10 years is a life time. At 40 it is a 25% of a lifetime and at 80, 12.5% of a life time and I think that proportionate feeling works down to years, months, weeks, hours and minutes.
