You know you're middle aged when...

[PollyCreo]

You go out in the morning at the same time you used to come home at 😲

The sun rises very early where I live (not UK) so after the clocks changed I decided to embrace this and go for a brisk 4 mile walk every morning before work 🌞 It is truly lovely, it's warm and I enjoy seeing the sun come up. However it was only 12 years ago I used to be stumbling out of a nightclub at 5.45am and looking for a taxi to get me home 🧐 What has happened to me?

Haha. It's called getting old!!! I sympathise massively.:)

You walk your dog looking like a cross between a teenager and a middle aged vagrant. (Me this morning - tracksuit bottoms tucked into massive socks, trendy trainers, huge puffer jacket and a beanie hat!) 🤣
And you don’t care.

Oh and you wouldn’t dream at starting a film past 8 - 8.30 tops!

You fart or noisily exhale, or both, when bending down.

I do miss my clubbing days though! The excitement of deciding what to wear - heals or boots? Straight or curly hair? Which perfume?

Aargh I miss being young and skinny 😜

You make "oof" noises when you get up in the morning, and need five minutes for everything to loosen up.

You spend more on glasses than you do on shoes.

Posting on the Strictly thread, when some of the mners have never heard of Matt Goss or Bros, or even Kym Marsh from Hearsay!

I've got creaky knees and plantiar fascitis 😢

When you hire someone at work and they tell you their mum is the same age as you

But I still stay up late and hate mornings

The word comfy features heavily in your vocabulary.

i’m not middle aged but I feel it in my w 30’s 🤣

one sign is You go to bed at the time you used to get ready to go out!

Yes, this !!

It’s not just your knickers that rely on elastic.

I actually went to bed at 9pm the other day. I was shattered .

You wake early and start thinking of all the things you could do with this extra time so you get up; whereas previously you'd have rolled over and slept for another two hours.

Another thing I do - I offer to drive on nights out. So I can leave at 22.05 😂

When you can easily spend an hour watching the birds at the bird table/feeders

You wee a bit on a trampoline.

Same! I am asleep by 10 most nights!! can’t imagine getting ready around that time again 🤣

I really prefer heading to bed at 8 with my phone or a book. I may stay up until 9/9:30/10, but really i want to be heading up by 8.

I never understood the saying about you know you're getting old when policemen look young.

I understand it now, and its true 😆

That's nice though, I also enjoy watching nature

You see the postman wearing shorts in the middle of winter and your first thought is ‘he needs to wrap up warmer’

you have children older than your colleagues at work

you mention your teenage celebrity crush and someone at work looks at you and says ‘who’s Chesney hawkes?!’

clothes you wore in your youth are back in fashion

Just spent even more on a hearing aid 🙁
