I know I have reached 'that age' when

[Soon2bC]

I treat myself to an electric blanket.

Now, I will clarify that I don't know what 'that age' is but I feel that my excitement over my new electric under blanket probably means I have reached it!

How did you reach 'that age'?

I must be that age, I just read 'flannelette sheets' and thought ooooooo yes

I have found my people....

The knee pillow.... I just use a normal pillow, recommended by a chiropractor a few years ago to help with my back, I've been using it ever since and the advantage over that weird looking knee pillow is that your ankle bones don't knock together as your legs are cushioned from knee to foot.

I've had to open this thread on a second webpage to add the above or I would have probably forgotten to do it by the time I had read the entire thread

I'm looking forward to cleaning the freezer out this weekend....I may see if Lakeland have a scraper device to help. Ace.

I bought a new pillow to replace a grotty old one earlier this year. More recently-a couple of months back- I bought a very light summer "air conditioning duvet" because it's so hot here in Asia. (Looks like the one in the photo.)

I also bought a bamboo bed mat to help make the bed a lot cooler. (Looks like the one in the photo, but for a single bed.)

Cor blimey, was I excited or what?! Nothing like throwing the old stuff out.

(I don't have children or a spouse, I'm just here for the amusement.)

HOLD THE PHONE jigoku there is a kitchenware district where you live???
Tell me more

Ps I have my pop socks on today

Also I have learnt they call them "knee highs" these days. Lucky I just asked the young sales assistant where the tights were otherwise pop-sock-based confusion would probably have reigned.

I hope I never reach the age to leave for Gransnet. I've dipped my toe I but all the LC/NC family stuff was way too depressing.

I now have to trim my nasal hair. There...I've said it [wins the Internet]

Just wait until full facial hair arrives - I had to have my lip waxed first time ever

I knew when I was meeting a friend in China Town for a naice lunch but was more excited about being able to buy a fan to take on public transport.

Have you tried the pillows with the built in gel insert, Jigoku? They're bliss when it's hot.

My sister reached that age when instead of laughing hysterically at some relatives who bring their slippers when they visit us, as she normally does, actually brought hers with her when visiting me. When I then started laughing hysterically, she got defensive...

@trevortrevorslatterfry

We have a few different districts for different things; the kitchenware district sells industrial and domestic use kitchenware. Some are cheap, others cost more. There's also a cake shop called I Love Cake that sells baking ingredients and so forth.

Next, there's the haberdashery districts. Same concepts.

Just a few stated above.

@trevortrevorslatterfry Think Lakeland but cheaper.

You could try these USB fans that are all the rage here in Hong Kong. Just charge them up and walk around the streets holding them. Everyone does that here. You can even hang on around your neck.

I take slippers when I go visiting people.

You're all hilarious! Rare day off lazing and laughing out loud.
Yesterday I bought a new nest of tables. I am inordinately pleased with them, have told several people and spent 24 hrs admiring them 😆 DH is pissing me off by not being as excited as me!

I defrost my freezer with my H2O mop.
So there
And I enjoy it

I've just bought some limescale remover via Amazon. I actually checked reviews to buy a cleaning product . Then got a bit excited as it's same day delivery . What has happened to me?

When your niece sends her birthday list and you have to get the nice lady in the shop to translate.

Buying some of the items and thinking "she isn't getting much for my money".

I had to ring my nephew last night so he could tell me how to work the DVD recorder so that I could "tape" Corrie.

Yes, really.

He just sighed down the phone. Thank god I can speak to young people on a daily basis at school to advise me on other technological matters, otherwise I'd be ringing him every minute of the day!

Anyone else starting to use the "is it hot in here or is it me?" phrase more and more often? Either that or I'm freezing. There is no inbetween.

Like a PP, my cats are very impressed with my napping ability. They won't lie on DP's knee because they know he'll be up and about soon whereas if I'm sat down, I'll be there all night, that's why they lie there.

DP went away on a work trip at 3 am this morning.....electric blanket was bliss! I couldn't get back to sleep so lay in bed watching Sex in the City DVDs and snuggling into my blanket until time for work!

I have just had an email at work confirming an order from a supplier, she asked me how many of product I want and after I told her she replied 'perfecto'

Now at 'that age' where I am considering an AIBU about it!
