You Know You Are Getting Old When...

[Guest]

When you get out of bed like Carl Fredricksen and creak 😳

I think the realisation that you can no longer put socks on while standing is the point where you may as well go out and dig a dying hole in the sandpit

When someone posts about a really gorgeous cooker and your first thought is I would struggle with those low down ovens!

When the first thing you look at in the Next sale is the home section.

When you don’t get asked for ID in shops anymore.

When you get a bit lonely at night as you don’t really have any friends to talk to (although other half is here, but sometimes you want to speak to someone different don’t you?) and you spend your night on forums looking for a good chat you can get into so that you can have a conversation. (Is this a sign of getting old or do I need to get out more?)

my 16 year old DD works at Sainsbury’s and has reassured me she has never called anyone dear!

I also looked at the oven and thought that I’d never be able to clean it... or get anything out easily
I announced my retirement last week and no one said I was too young :-(

Not me but my friend when our 4 year old grandson said why are you driving a racing car she has a Vintage Morgan her pride and joy
Her answer cause I’m younger than Grandma ( by 2 days )
Me when the 6 inch heels you’ve worn for years as you are vertically challenged are not comfortable and you teeter on them like Barbara Windsor in a carry on film and you ditch them and feel free
