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 😐

I'm having a lovely evening. I'm sitting eating fudge and watching a repeat of Midsomer Murders, and right now I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing. 😁

I was at a presentation for a few visiting sixth-formers re careers. I asked the young lad sitting next to me what he was hoping to apply to university for.
He replied that he was the teacher.

I got very excited when my new doorstop arrived the other day. It is in the shape of a large frog and I have called him Freddie.

@CluelessAboutBiology i desperately need a new vacuum cleaner. Which one have you got is it any good?

Ha ha. That is hilarious!!

I'm getting a larder fridge with a water dispenser.

Also you know your old when you get excfor a windy day.
It's grand for drying.
I'm 52 I thought I'd a few years before I turned in to my mothet

When you get neck ache after building Lego for an hour....😵‍💫😳

@MidnightMusing5 it’s a Shark corded upright, as recommended by my friend. She said they have designed out everything that usually annoys you about vacuums.
Amazing suction - on the first use it picked up enough cat hair to make a whole new cat!

When you spend 5 hours watching a Billy Joel documentary and find yourself singing along in your slippers, with a blanket over your knee.

@Ahwig that must be a beautiful sight ❤️

It's actually beautiful. No other adjective does it justice.

I wondered what you meant by being excited about "a windy day" until I saw the bit about drying.

Hose pics please ...

Be pleased you can get up; I thought I was stuck on the floor forever after cleaning out a ground-level cupboard the other day. Admittedly I was on my knees for a while ... but I'm younger than you @SharpWriter !

I thought I had reached old age when I found I started needing to wear foundation more often than just for work meetings or special events. Now I realise I'm even older because I hardly care other than for work meetings or special events.

Badgers get ours!

I recently redid my summer hanging baskets and pots. I have gone with deep pink to see me through the Autumn. It was very exciting - I uploaded photos to my WhatsApp mates group😂. I got a lot of abuse.

When the suns out so you have to every piece of laundry in existence…..
the biggest one - you enjoy listening to smooth 😀😂

Have had a good laugh reading some things here. Brilliant thread!!!

At what point does one switch from “falling” to “having a fall”?

I mean you’re teasing us now - we deserve a photo surely?

Now I'm in my 50s, my arms are no longer long enough to be able to read something and I do a strange sort of grimace/squint and head tilt before admitting defeat and reaching for my reading glasses (that I never needed when I was younger).

The GP I saw last week didn't look old enough to shave.

My friend's granddaughter made me realise I'm old enough to be a granny.

Is that the one I have seen advertised where you pop it into a unit and it automatically empties? I thought I had dreamt it until I googled it!

I cried a year or so ago when I saw Billie Ocean - he’s is old (not surprising since it’s been a few year since it’s been a few years since 1980s when I watched him on TOTPs. I hadn’t seen him age.

i can no longer read small words on medication, I can still see normal print in books but that’ll be next - large print books from the library. I’m 52
