Your 'old lady' habits/tastes ;)

[Echobelly]

Do you like footspa? Have a crush on Alan Titchmarsh?

I'm 47 and I like to get Kriss Kross puzzle books when I go on holiday, I think their main market is the over 70s. I also like Fenjal bubble bath which I'm sure is rather an old lady thing.

Old ladies also welcome to add their old lady habits too! 😁

I beliewe that you and your DH are just practising for a happy old age.

I think that Perez is too angst ridden to provide decent sex.

Yes I agree with a late autumn skim to help prevent wind rock.

I’m so mad at M&S cafe for this. Surely you can expect a cup and saucer in M&S?

I don't knit. There's a village about 7 miles from me that turn the centre into a Yarn Bomb with about 50 yarn bombs in the summer. Love it. So talented these people.

Dh does that hand thing as well and his mother

He watches the birds by the back door (he's not yet 60)

I make gift tags out of old Christmas cards with serrated scissors

It is nice to see how we get pleasure from small things, quite positive.
I worry a little about some attitudes being towards the obsessive, different mugs for different times of day, and different drinks. Attitudes to cats and pets. . (may have been mentioned on other occasions).
The early changing from day clothes to nightwear say by when the Archers is on I find strange. Coupled with going to bed early could it be seen that many women are 'opting out', are they withdrawing from life even their house into a very small world, their bed. I acknowledge that contact is still being maintained via TV or internet.

I remain Puzzled of Oxford.

Anne Cleeve's Perez was clearly of spanish extraction. Whilst Douglas Henshall has grown on me, he's not quite as hot as in the books.

discussing pruning......sooooo old lady!

I wonder if you live near my dm

I collect Emma Bridgewater mugs and plates and have currently got two sets, winter/spring and summer/autumn. I am not obsessive about it (much!) but it does add pleasure to my life. I suspect some of the heated blankets/early bed stuff is about economising on heating. I don't see anything about attitides to pets on this thread? but maybe I missed it.

The local Tesco seems to have knitted tops for all occasions!

I was taking a cut through as u do in London on foot and who should I spy across on the other side of the street only bloomin Alan Titchmarsh he looked rather terrified . Like a celebrity caught in the wild in an empty alleyway without bodyguards. He was so petrified bear in mind I am so much younger and have never seen him as an object of desire and isn’t he is rather too Alan Partridge to get my knickers in a twist so I kinda feel insulted 😂
Now Monty Dom he is like a gorgeous corduroy teddy bear.

I love Fenjal products, the scent is lovely but it’s expensive compared to others.

Yes to the next sizes up!!
A colleague actually accused me of having lost weight and looking very smart after our xmas hols (teacher). I had simply bought larger clothes 😇😂

I love an early night to read a book. I also love a weekend disco nap.

I’m joining you in your thread turnaround!

I’m 50 and do proper breaststroke, eyes looking at the floor of the pool and head almost completely underwater.

Ok 50 isn’t old but it’s old enough that people might expect genteel bobbing with neck sticking straight up.

Sorry OP I know it’s not what you asked (and it’s also not very interesting!)

I like doing proper breaststroke and also being under my heated blanket by 8pm! I'm 48

I used to have a lovely "best" china dining set for 12. I used to love using it but when I left my house with a dining room I sold the lot to a dealer on Ebay. I don't even have a table for more than six people now and don't miss it at all.

Yes, I buy them extra large too, so I can give them a hottish wash and then tumble dry.

I found £800 in a copy of The Peoples Friend when I was clearing my great aunt’s house in 1972! It must have been her life savings ( also found quite a large wad in roll of steel wool). I didn’t know it was still going.

I have got pretty much the full house in terms of keep you warm things, nice smelly things and comfortable garment things but I AM an old lady so…..

Im off to investigate a foot spa though 😊

Oh, I don't know - that kiss with the married Alice was quite passionate.

Well I'd give him a go...

I live in Leicestershire

I tend to go for the larger sizes as being tall, the length between one size and the next one can be up to 1.5 inches. Then it doesn't roll up.

There you go, another old lady thing - using inches.

Big Pants are great. Even Bridget Jones likes them 🤣
