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?

You pull a muscle putting your tights on in the morning

Consultants are about 13. You peer at them (through glasses, OBVS) to see if they shave yet..

I still wonder what I want to do when I grow up - then remember it's a bit late..

We had a bus driver who looked really young. He got off the bus and someone asked the other driver how old this young man was. He was 19 and looked about 14!

@Izzy24 and @bingotime, never mind the sagging skin all over (it comes to us all) - think sagging arse, stomach and the skin on the insides of your arm to name a few, I was also thinking of prolapses) note the use of the plural).
I'm more prone to them then other people as I'm hyper mobile, so my collagen isn't great, but post-menopause all women are more likely to have them than pre-menopause. I've had a prolapsed uterus, rectum, bladder and urethra. Some of them have been fixed, one of them can't be, and one repair has failed.
Besides all of that, there's the descending hairlines - the back of the neck (and my hairline at the front has receded), and pubic hair goes patchily bald, whilst being determined to populate your thighs.
How naïve was I? I thought that the worst of it would be wearing pop socks (guilty as charged).
Life's great, hey? ConfusedGrin

sagging arse and descending hairlines…….

this is the worst thing I’ve ever read on here bar none 😳😳😳😳😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
