To think I’m officially old now? What was your defining moment?!

That’s it. I’ve now officially hit old age. Went to a concert with my daughter this week and it was standing. I was on the fringes of a mosh pit and it was very annoying. My feet are still bruised, my hips and legs are killing me and I can’t hear anything. I’m still absolutely exhausted too. I’m 58.

When did you have your epiphany?

I too was in the mosh pit but a decade younger than you at the time, & didn’t even know what a mosh pit was 😆. I’m never going to be old.

Over the last 2 years. 54 now.

Mine was a mosh pit incident too - age 47.

I'm 49 and fitter and healthier than I was at 30 or 40...however, I had a rare night home alone last night (Dh away and ds out). Thought about seeing if friends were free to go out but instead I excitedly made myself a mushroom risotto, drank a single glass of wine and did some crochet.

Definitely 40 for me

Not anything physical yet (I’m actually in the best shape I’ve been in for years), but 40 was definitely the ‘not young anymore’ moment for me. I’m 52 now.
