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 was talking about a fun run near us to another teacher today and was on about how KM it is and she looked at me and asked "what's that in old money?"

At least I'm not that old yet!

My Dad got me an electric underblanket for my 25th.... best present I ever had....

I'm going gambling this weekend.
Not Las Vegas, Lyme Regis.

I love those Penny Shuffle machines.

Mark my words, once word gets out, those Kardachians and the rest of them will be flocking to the bright lights of Lyme Regis.

katiescarlett i have just come back on here and saw your post Lakeland have heated fleecy blankets, six settings

I am beyond excited and am now going to go and look.

I havent put the heating on yet , but am sitting here in a shawl!! but it is cashmere dahling..(though beige, sorry Taupe)

I do have a glass of though..

Oh look! and yes it ^is the most expensive one they do! ..but its going on my (soon to be 59th) birthday list !!

No heating on here but I do have a hot water bottle and a fleecy throw. As it is nearly 9.30 it must be bedtime. I do a lot of groaning when standing up from a seated position. I am wearing my reading glasses...
I am fucking old!

Friends and I were out for a meal and decided to head to a local bar for cocktails. The music in the bar was far too loud and I couldn't hear the conversation (turns out friends were discussing slow cooker recipes and couldn't hear either). We were all glad to leave and I had a nice cup of tea and some digestives when I got home. We are in our 30s!!!

The heating is on but I can still feel a draught around my feet so I have a fleecy blanket over my knees. And it's beige.

I went out with a very good friend for my 50th, we had a glass of prosecco at lunch and were going to hit the champagne bar in town, gorgeous place, very classy (so I'm told, never been)

we decided to just have a coffee and get the train home, in time for the kids coming back from school and getting the dinner on

and it was a bloody great day, I loved it

laska, seriously, thats gorgeous, if I wasnt permanently hot I'd get that

My magazine habit is now Good housekeeping and Woman and Home rather than Cosmo

I've just had the call up to have my boobs squished in a machine - it must be a mistake, I'm only 50 31...

Trying to work out if the new brown spots on my hands are freckles or liver spots

...Ooh, ooh and having to search for EEE fit shoes

What are the best magazines for when you reach that age? I hate Cosmo. I'm 90 mentally at least. Jakadaal of your 2 which is better?

Jamie magazine, Good Housekeeping etc.

Gardens Illustrated is lovely, particularly the pictures when you can't find your glasses because they're hiding on your head.

I like to garden and have bright pink strap on knees. I look pretty epic. If I wore sparkly knickers over my trousers I would look a bit Super hero ish.

Plug in fleece blanket to keep me warm during GBBO ...

I keep trying to convince myself I'm coming down with something that's why I'm flushing so much.

I have a kitten and I make a funny noise every time I bend to pick her up.

I went to see an 80's band the other night and was shocked how middle aged and boring all the blokes looked compared to the women who at least were still making an effort.

Laska I'm getting the grey one...

I have a fleecy blanket and a slanket
I wear bed socks
And if I could find a nice one I would wear a bed jacket
I'm 44 tomorrow

I actually thought the other day that a housecoat with pockets would be 'handy'.

Oh and the other day in the hairdressers I was amazed to discover 'Good Housekeeping' was way better than Hello, Cosmo, And all the celeb mags I used to pour over as mental chewing gum.

(I may have used my Tesco points to buy a subscription to BBC Good Food😳)

I'm 34.

A housecoat with pockets would be handy. An elderly neighbour of mine wears one.

These look like traditional housecoats with pockets.
