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! 😁

Anoraks, cardigans, capacious pants in the bedroom. Heated blanket, pouffe, Downton Abbey in the living room. Comfort is all.

He’ll get there in time!

I love wearing a twin set and a Pearl necklace

I love a battenburg cake or cherry bakewell and have to have it with a lovely cup of tea but it HAS to be in a fine bone china cup.

Sorry but I need to know more about this - this is one of the best comments I’ve ever read 😆

This is me. The antithesis of me 10 years ago even. I'm only 44 and love to be in bed by 8pm.

Can't be doing with low sofas and chairs. This week's snow and ice has seen me morph into my mum. "Snow looks lovely on Christmas cards and that's where it needs to stay" I've even bought a pair of Morland granny boots, the little brown suede, sheepskin lined ones with the zip up the front. (They eat my socks though)

I've just realised with a jolt I'm reading the answers hoping for cozy tips! Amazon at the ready! I seem to already do most of these, except the rock tickets/Dr Martin, using talc or having a crush on Mr Osmund (love the books though). I still probably wouldn't say no to Nigel Havers though!

my mum used Fenjal, the whole house reeked of it, ended when she couldn’t get out of the bath for sliding about, showers only now

my old lady thing is big knockers, a la Bridget Jones, to contain everything, no vpl and v comfortable

I do have other ones for best ha ha

sardines on toast with a mug of Assam tea, thats old lady isn’t it,
in a china mug of course,
lavender anything

tutting at things of which I disapprove

saying “well I remember” more than I probably should, very old lady ish

making quiche with leftovers, or soup with chicken stock from the carcass,
reminds me of my gran, the saving bits of string, smoothing brown paper,
steaming off stamps, she didn’t waste a thing, I’m morphing into my gran

Oh and a nice fountain pen. Or twenty.

I'm 61 and just got my first buzz cut to remove the purple dye and reveal blinding white hair..albeit about half an inch long.
Love a heated throw
Gardening
RSPB membership
Having a lie in
Comfy knickers
...but I also go cold water swimming in my wetsuit and treat myself every now and then to a pair of Embassy shoes,so there may still be life in me yet.

Turkish delight, collecting seeds, tea.

I'm 38 and my favourite program is Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing.

Saying "hello" to the school children I pass while walking my dog in the morning. I remember rolling my eyes when my Nana used to do this 40 years ago. And they reply!
Wearing warm slippers and a dressing gown.
Feeding the birds.
Catching the bus
Using a tea strainer

A chocolate biscuit first thing in the morning with a cup of tea. I recently learned that HMTLQ used to be woken with a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit, so my inner snob is smug.

I am 35 and like comfortable orthopaedic shoes, pyjamas and nighties, bubble bath, vintage dresses, and floral smells like lavender, rose and lily of the valley; all the Yardley classics. I also like suet dumplings, and offal. I will always define my cupid's bow when putting on lipstick, regardless of what Instagram tells me. I dress DD 4 like a Victorian doll and have no regrets about that.

@StopTalkingSoMuch I definitely associate Doc Martens with the over 60s. They are completely unaffordable for younger people now.

I have an amazing magnifying mirror, with a light, for my chin hairs!!!

60 isn't far off:
Slippers
Peace and quiet
No crowds
Comfy clothes

Mind you, I've been like this since I was about 25. I'm finally catching up with myself.

I do this too! I’m always surprised when they reply politely, which they always do 😂

I think you meant knickers...

Me too. I have to hold off because I find them SO addictive, and I'd LOVE a puzzle mat.
I'm also obsessed with hanging my washing outdoors, but I think that's probably more a symptom of turning into my mum than being old lady-ish. Others might disagree.
Oh, and comfortable cotton pants.
Bought my first pair of DMs recently though

I pray to God you will start your own thread. I seriously need it.

I’m just about to go to bed now, but some lavender face cream on and listen to ‘In Our Time’ for a bit which will me send off to sleep,

I did not know this - off to look younger!

But do you say 'oooooff' when you land on the sofa for that nice sit down though?

I do, definitely old lady territory - and I am so here for it!
