I know I am getting really old when.......

Well I've decided I'm not going to be really old until I get to the age DM was when she passed on (93!).
But I knew I was getting older when I couldn't get up from the playground after getting down to tie a child's shoelace!

We have reached the stage where DD, DM and I are all the same age

Our son-in-law reaching 50 this year made me realise I'm old!

When my eldest D will turn 60 in a year and a half ! Her husband is 60 towards the end of the year. They were only "kids" when they married.

A " pensioner " daughter. Unbelievable.

When I realised I wanted to sit in the shade rather than basking in the sun☀️

When I actually appreciated being offered a seat on the Tube.

When I look in a mirror.

When I realised my grandson is 20!!!!

When I'm puffed out, running around with the grandkids .

When I realised that if my GKs ran off, I wouldn't be able to catch them.

When I hear the Pelican crossing beeping from some distance away, I no longer run to cross, but hang back and wait for the next light change.

I know I am getting old when my granddaughter asks me what did I used to do in the olden days!

When I prefer to go to bed with a good book rather than a night on the town!

I start to panic if I don't think I will get my afternoon nap.

I look at the fashions - mini-skirts, flared trousers, flicked up eyeliner and think that I wore them once - but never again as I don't want to repeat myself.

When I think about going somewhere and the first thing I need to know is 'how close can I park'

When I spend the day out as recently, in London - an early start & a long day - and then have to 'recover' for the next few days, unable to commit to anything more taxing than a long lie down & a good book

nina... and the 2nd question is “where’s the toilet?”

I went to my uncle's funeral and his granddaughters were looking at his photo albums., They were asking me who people in the photos were. I suddenly realised that I was the 'senior generation' of that branch of my family and was expected to know everything!

I’ve bought gold sandals for a River cruise.

I still don’t feel old!

My 90 year old aunt told me I would feel really old when my daughte was 60!

I don't feel my age either, but my eldest is 58, and oldest grandson is 35 ,it is the only thing that reminds me i am old --ish
