To declare this being officially an adult?

[UnsuspectedItem]

It's my birthday coming up, and I am genuinely hoping for socks.

That's it, isn't it? This is the point when one is absolutely an adult. Non of this turning 18 bollocks.

Just to compound the point, I also make a strange "oomph"ing noise when I get up and I went into a pub the other day and said, with no irony, "Music's a bit loud."

I also have an unexplainable desire for a steam mop.

AIBU?

Speaking of steam mops, can you do carpet with them?!

It was my birthday yesterday OP, I received socks; very happy I was too!

@MonsteraDeliciosa
I got the 3 tier Dry Soon deluxe airer for Christmas and it honestly made my year! I felt such an idiot gushing about it to my boss after the Christmas break.

UppityStitch I am very very envious. I'd live in the utility room if I had one of those!

Being grown-up is having nowhere to go on a Saturday night, and being pleased about it. Ditto when the phone rings and it’s not for you.

Spent a long time looking for the right butter dish.
Often hear myself say 'ssh, I'm trying to watch the news" that makes me feel grown up.

Friday night is often an early night where once a Friday night in was a cause for sulking and feeling like a social disaster.

Folding fitted sheets I learnt from a film starring Natalie Portman.

Where the Heart Is.

It was a "blimey that makes sense" moment.

I listened to a full documentary on allotmenteering a while back.

I was genuinely tempted by a subscription to a magazine called "Country Smallholding".

I fear its only a matter on months before I need to be taken to the end of the garden and shot in the back of the head, old yelled style.

I feel like an adult when I'm in a shop and someone tells their child to "mind the lady". Lady?

LADY???

I AM A GIRL OK! 😂😂

I'm genuinely excited that Gardener's World is on for a full hour on Friday.

DH has bought me an anniversary present, I'm daydreaming about the possibility it's a cordless vac.

When DH came home with a sparkly new hoover a couple of weeks ago. Genuinely don’t think I’d ever loved him more than that moment. I love my new hoover

Getting travel insurance.

How fucking boring and mature is that?

My Best friend pissed herself.

I enjoy going to John Lewis and maybe having a cup of tea or coffee. I swear maybe about 5 years ago, I thought the shop was for fuddy duddy's.

I got a steam mop for Christmas a couple of years ago which I wanted demanded but it was rubbish, so I have an e-mop now instead.

A self cleaning oven has been one of the best purchases I've ever made.

I'm looking forward to some sun this weekend so I can hang my bloody washing out. This thought makes me smile as much as it did 15 years ago when looking forward to a night out on the piss.

My socks express my inner rebel

@SchadenfreudePersonified I am currently knitting myself a brown cardi.....

OMG my life is complete- how to fold fitted sheets!

God I'm boring.

YABU

You’re not an adult (well...middle aged) until you’ve joined The National Trust.

I finally found a butter dish

My sister admired my new shoes yesterday by saying, 'They look comfy' and I found myself replying, Nowadays I do like a comfortable shoe'

Wtf? When did I start referring to them in the singular? That is OLD!

It’s an approaching middle age reflex Bless rather like the:

‘I like your top/dress/shirt/shorts’
‘Thankyou! It’s got pockets!’

I did the coffee run the other day and someone wanted a chocolate cornflake cake from costa. Got it - was £1.95!! I had to ask the girl to repeat the price and said “how much??!! I can make a while batch for that! It’s only chocolate and cornflakes” and wandered off muttering about the price!! I went straight from Young to bloody one foot in the grave!!

I moved out of home years before I had to do my own washing as I rented and the place didn't have a machine or anywhere to put one.

I continued to use my DMs machine and she never asked for a contribution towards detergent.

The absolute horror I felt at the price when I first bought some

What is that shit made from diamonds?!

Nothing better than a new pair of pyjamas now

I had a teacher who said you were old once you were unable to name 5 artists in the top 10.

This happened too long ago for comfort
