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! 😁

You sound epic

I have a snood
Started wearing long socks under my jeans
Sit next to the defibrillator at work!

Ha ha, I am a big fan of a massive pair of pants. And garden centres and period dramas. I would love an afternoon nap!

oh and phwoar to Alan Rickman and Monty Don!

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?! 😱 You can get heated gloves?! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! 🚪

I need these! I am tapping at the door of 60, and me hands are booking freezing half the time between mid November and mid March.

Rushes to google!

Late forties and I love the nostalgia of Fenjal. It reminds me of stealing my mum's when I was a teenager.

I’ve been drinking sherry since my 20s. In a wine glass though!
Anything thermal, wheat bags.
Ovaltine. The kids love it.

New window cleaner or make sure you always have the cash (or ask if you can bank transfer). Finding a bank to cash that will have been a major PIA for him.

Cardigans. All the cardigans.

Imperial leather soap bars to cleanse.
Cif for cleaning the bath.
Eccles cakes.
Peel vegetables/prepare food sitting down sometimes.
Massive pants in the winter pulled up high.

Comfy trousers
Comfy trainers
Anything comfy really
Non stop moaning about the neighbours comings and goings
Turning the light off to spy out of the blind
Making sure I know how we are going to get home after a night out
Having certain hot drinks out of certain mugs
Organising the recycling boxes and the stuff in them
Investing in a litter picker
Intolerant of the bad manners of others

Heated blanket
Reading The Thursday Murder Club novels under said blanket
Having a strange crush on Richard Osman
Inability to wear any kind of shoe
Buying things from old people catalogues
Constantly moaning about the state of everything
I am 56 this year.

persuaded a friend to go for a matinee because i didnt trust the weather late at night in February! or want to get home at 11 pm and be up early for work the next day

Re cheques. I haven't had a cheque book in over a decade. I got a cheque 2 years ago from a particular company, and my bank closed down in my wee market town 6 months before that!

So I had to go to a town 20 miles away to cash it. I mean, I have family there, and there's loads of big shops there/a huge shopping centre, so I was able to make the most of the day, but how annoying!

I’m lol

I love old fashioned dusting powder [talc] - you know the one - in a pretty round floral box with a beautiful soft powder puff for strategic application.

He banked at HSBC - our local one has a machine for cheques which is presumably why I still thought people used them. I'd actually introduced him to the neighbours and he cleaned all windows for me for about 6 years!

54, on a Saga hotel holiday on Denia, Spain. All inclusive, under 1k. Booking again for next year as cannot do it cheaper myself whichever way I try. Some come for 4 or 6 wks as you get 1 o2 free wks respectively. Much pottling about, tapas then a mooch around and return.

I’m mid 30s and I like:
cross stitch
being warm
proper slippers
big knickers
shopping in mountain warehouse
music from the 50s and 60s
non-underwired bras

I'm 70 and to be fair have done lots of theses things for years now.

Listen to The Archers every day - it's a first thing in the morning deal here in Australia.
Do Open Gardens Victoria on the weekend
Electric blanket - bought one last year - amazing
Volunteer at a house museum
Keep my tablets in a pill caddy, sadly

Still go music festivals, though I no longer camp, preferring a shipping container.

My elderly mum always pays me for shopping etc by cheque. It's not a hassle if you have the banking apps. You can take a photo and pay in on your phone.

Rose and violet creams
Horlicks before bed
A lap blanket in the car
Chatting to my cats

I have to sit down in the pub

I'm 59 and I like:
Radio 4
The Archers
Elasticated waistbands
Flat shoes
Early nights
Having a lie in on a Sunday morning
Only having one tiny TV in the house, but a radio in every room
Agatha Christie adaptations on TV
Visiting museums, galleries and historic sites
Correcting peoples spelling and grammar (😂)

However, there may be hope for me as I loathe tea (a disgusting drink) and have no interst in gardening (wouldn't catch me dead in a garden centre). I have never even seen a heated blanket... sounds weird.

Warm coats , scarves, warm thick ugly cardies , glasses , taking great care not to fall , flat comfy shoes and boots , thick warm socks , hardly any make up, decaff everything, disliking seeing any sex on TV not even kissing .

I suppose sadly I have to add going to classical music concerts and singing in a choir. I fear both things are going to die out or be much reduced with the next few decades.
