You know you're getting old when ......... ?

[KittyCatsby]

Today I've plucked whiskers from my chin and pulled hair out of my nose !

Haha made me chuckle

When your knickers are all the same colour and style and probably from a supermarket

If the hair on my head grew at the same rate as my chin hairs, I'd be like rapunzel by next Tuesday.

Small print on anything is too small to read and so you squint hold the Item closer to you then further away but it makes no difference

When you find yourself saying "they didn't do that in my day"
And making a noise when you sit down or get up - like a ooof

Oh definitely this!

My particular favourite is the eyesight one too:

Quite badly short-sighted from age 7. Nowadays not only am I short-sighted, but I’m long-sighted too! Contact lenses for distance and Home Bargains reading glasses for close work. FML.

You start thinking the BBC's political correspondent looks very young.

You're drooling over by a handsome man that comes into work, and are chatting away when he tells you that you're the same age as his Mum. Brutal.

Having to subtract your year of birth from the current year to work out how old you are!

When socialising is just ughhh. I'd rather be at home with my books and cats.

Oh, all of these 😂

Or that the nineties was only a couple of years ago.

When a younger ( not that much younger) offers you their bus oh well at least I got to sit down lol

When you find out your first celeb crush is now 80!

When you enjoy watching the birds in your garden.
When you don’t know any songs in the top ten
When you go to bed before 10pm.

When you have to get down on the floor for something and you wonder, "what else can I do while I'm down here?"

And then you can't get up!

Professionals look so young, like they are straight out of school.

Sexy lingerie replaced with comfy granny pants.

High heels replaced with flats.

10pm is a late night.

Can’t read small print without reading glasses.

You wouldn’t dream of going out in the evening without a coat.

Oh yes, socialising..... 'getting ready' doesn't now involve trying the latest make up look or dressing oh so cool.....just more last minute mirror scrutiny for the 'tache and chin hairs that emerge JUST before you have to go, the wily buggers.

Ffs I'm literally sat here now in my kitchen enjoying watching this little blackbird that comes every day for some mealworm I put out for him - this is a new thing I've started doing this week 😳

When none of the kids you teach have heard of Kylie Minogue.

When putting your eye makeup on is a case of flinging makeup in the vague vicinity of where you know your eyes to be, and then putting your glasses on to see how you did.

When you look at the clothes in Zara and think to yourself, ‘I see they’ve come round again.’

When you have items in your wardrobe that are older than half the artists in the charts.

When the disco music at a 5 year olds birthday party is too loud

I will never succumb to the elasticated waistband!

Once you try the elasticated waistband, it's game over!
