You know you're getting old

[BobhopeNohope]

When you get excited by mundane things.

I'm getting a new fridge tomorrow nd i can't wait.
I've told everyone and their bored of hearing it 😐

What fridge are you getting 👀👀

When i got my American fridge freezer I told everyone in my local area 😭

I bought some besta drawers from ikea yesterday - i feel like my life has changed 😄

I bet I’m more excited about my new vacuum cleaner than you are about your fridge!

Seeing an unusual bird on the beach, taking a pic and researching it.

I slipped down three stairs a few weeks ago (and to be fair was pretty hurt) as I slipped on a wet floor. I realised I was getting old when I said to my ex “I’ve had a fall”. I’m 40.

I’ve bored everyone I know to tears going on about my fantastic homegrown corn on the cob this year.

And my green beans, courgettes, rhubarb, strawberries and figs.

But the corn on the cob is the best. Wanna see a pic? 🤓

I can't stand up without groaning (I'm 52). And I think all police officers look about 12.

We had a carpenter fix our squeaky stairs. Life changing!

Everyone looks 12, except for 12 year old girls who look about 25!

When you start saying " I like it, but it doesn’t like me" about certain foods.

Oh my God, I’m the same! I even bought binoculars so I could see them properly. I could identify robins, penguins, flamingos and peacocks. That was all I needed. And now I find myself getting excited because I’ve seen and identified a Jay, and being sad because I’ve never seen a kingfisher or a wood pecker! When the fuck did a willingness to do some twitching sneak in?!

Apart from that, I get so incredibly happy when someone else cancels plans and I don’t have to go out and I got very excited about a pair of duster gloves you wear to clean blinds (bloody things were out of stock).

I would be taking that out in a pram just so that everyone could admire it in its full glory.

When you start noticing people you consider young going grey (I went grey ages ago).

@BlueEyedBogWitch I too would be very very happy with those vegetables!!! Love rhubarb crumble and it freezes really well ❤️

It’s such perfect looking corn too. 🤑

I bought one of those morning / evening tablet sorters.

Getting a message that Jeff B is delivering my item tomorrow. Except I can't remember what I ordered without going into the website! I get so excited.

Muttering 'put your boobs away' darkly and tutting as I pass men without tops on.
White eyebrows.

When I was happy to realise that I’d just run upstairs (i.e. could still do it when not knackered).

When I read these threads I realise that I’ve always been this way. I was just saying to my Mother the other day, that I wished that more concerts and events were held in the early afternoon so that I could be home for 6.

I knew I was old when I got angry there was no Lidl magazine as I left today.

I am excited about my delivery of new jigsaws. 😁

I’ve been going into the garden at 8 pm to watch the parakeets fly over in their evening and smiling to myself.

I hate that! Even though I have the app on my phone and can see the catalogue there.

I was similarly upset the other week when Waitrose didn’t have their free food magazine at the checkout.

😂😂😂

I actually made an Instagram reel of its sister, with ‘Baby I Love You’ playing 😂

I get far too much pleasure putting things into glass jars pasta etc in my kitchen.

I love that! I hope that they taste as good as they look.
