To ask what’s made you think “I’m getting old” recently?

See, I love the McDonald's touch screen things as I hate giving orders at the counter/drive thru, as I'll forget what I actually want and ask for a Big Mac Meal as a panic-response. But the screens hate me and don't recognise I'm touching them. I have to get a DC to do it and they've decided I'm not a human 😭😅

My son puts the apps that come as standard together to save space on the screen. I've recently discovered that if I swipe up from the bottom all my apps are there in alphabetical order 🙈

Then according to rigby and peller lean forward and drop your breasts in for a better fit.

Ha! Technology. My absolute Nemesis.

Every time I qualify for a phone upgrade, I sweep into the 3 store, explain I just want to make calls, take half decent photos, have Internet access and a bit of messaging capability, plus my banking app and email, shove the phone into the young person's hands, and basically say "make it so (please)".

And young person pats me gently on the hand, finds me the best and cheapest deal, and transfers everything over while I agree I do have more photos of my cats than is probably healthy.

And I walk away with a new phone that looks vaguely familiar, although some of the features will be in different places, and I still end up with three pages of apps that come as standard, that I don't have a clue about and I'm scared to delete in case it breaks something.

On a similar note - how come if I want to take a screen shot, it's like the launch process for a NASA mission, yet, when my phone starts screeching at me to delete extraneous images etc, I will find dozens of screenshots of my home screen taken completely unconsciously. What's that about?

Fasten it at the front then twist it round and put your arms in!

When I bought a new vacuum cleaner had my old one serviced that lives upstairs 😁

Looking for my glasses when I was already wearing them

Who can do up a bra at the back?? I have never been able to my whole life!! I've never heard of this being a possibility!! Wow!

Glad I am not the only one, lol

When DP moved in with me, we became a 2-Vacuum house… it’s brilliant… no lugging the damn thing up and down the stairs. I can highly recommend it!
Aldo, earlier this year, I bought me first pair of Sketchers - they are all I’d hoped they’d be… lightweight and haven’t rubbed my heels raw.

When my periods started acting up and I realised I was perimenopause. I hate it.

I'm considering becoming a two vacuum house. When MIL became older I noticed she kept a small vacuum in the box room to save lugging the main one up and down stairs. Upstairs never gets as bad so it makes sense.

My WTF lines… those bad boys are really coming to the fore at 46 😂😂😂. Even now considering Botox!

Looking at ugly shoes & thinking they look really comfy, I must get some. Moustache, chin hair & baggy eyes & chin. On the plus side as I'm the wrong side of 50, I no longer care what anyone thinks of me. It's really quite liberating ☺️

I've gone beyond that: I have a rucksack with wheels!

A group of us went into a McDonald's and all us oldies ordered at the counter. The young whippersnapper with us laughed and berated us for not embracing the new technology of ordering via the screens. He was the only one not to receive his order. Oh how we laughed!

Totally get this. Mum ordered me a Hetty and laughed at me saying you know your old when your excited about a new vacuum cleaner. Same reaction when she bought my cat a covered litter box.

I’m wearing newly purchased Skechers slippers and have never been happier. I’m also currently looking for a new vacuum which is easier to carry upstairs and quite frankly it’s exciting stuff. Dread to think how my excitement levels will be when I’ve ordered one and it is due to arrive.

This has made me laugh!!

@Clafoutie @Selflessness I had this on holiday where they have installed meters on electric hook ups for my caravan. I had to download the app then connect my pitch so I could see what electric I was using. I had to go back to the reception 3 times, got the lovely young lady to download it and set it up for me, even after I'd put my glasses on(!) but it still wouldn't work. Turns out I'd plugged my hook up into the wrong plug on the pitch - in my defence they weren't labelled and even the nice man from maintenance said it was easily done but I did feel stupid!! Even more stupid when I realised that the total electricity I used for my 8 day holiday was less than the daily allowance

I had exactly this! Went to McDonalds and walked up to the counter to order. The teenager behind the counter looked at me greatly amused and pointed me to the touch screen. I stood for a while in front of it, utterly lost.

I went to a downhill mountain bike race at the weekend and there was an 82 year old woman taking part. I was so impressed. She had to lie her bike down at the end to get off rather than swing her leg over but other than that - wow! I wondered what age she’d taken it up.

My new partner is nearly 50. It is not an inappropriate age gap in any way, shape or form. Which means I'm old enough to be dating someone who's nearly 50. Which means I'm a lot closer to 50 than I care to admit.

Discussed hand luggage for the airport for my DM who is going on holiday. Recommended she take a rucksack (as i do) because "a handbag puts strain on one shoulder"

Genius idea,never thought of this 👏
