Getting old

[Jillius]

What have you done that has made you realise you are getting old ? I bought some Elmlea instead of cream so now my daughter thinks I'm like her Granny. Oh no......

[dustinmyeye]

i find myself saying to my daughter,,i remember when i could buy that for a fraction of the price

I save bits of wood for future paint stirring

[legend_mark5]

I looked in the mirror.


Only once of course

Elasticated waistbands-need I say more?

I wonder what I'm going to get my almost eighteen year old daughter for her birthday! Eek!

I've also bought some *checks over her shoulder and whispers* Anti wrinkle cream - sssssssssssssssh! Not that I have wrinkles of course, it's just a case of prevention rather than cure :p

[Bathsheba]

Oh yeah Elvis! And saving chipped mugs to soak paintbrushes in x

Getting older is when you avoid looking at your reflection in shop windows, because that old woman can't possibly you.

....being asked more often if I'm under 60, with a quizical look.

Worse, the man in B&Q just went straight in and asked if I had my diamond card for the over 60's with me. I thought I was ok about it, but the look on my face must have given me away.

A nearby member of staff started to laugh and told him 'now you've done it!'.

When I was 46, I tried to 'sneak into' the over-50s session at a local swimming pool ('cos it was the only public session available at a suitable time for me).

When I asked for a ticket, the assistant simply asked me, "Do you qualify for our over-60s discount?". Ever since then, I've given up worrying about my age ;-)

[legend_mark5]

Lol rabs you shouldve demanded the 10% discount on emotional torment grounds

lol
