You know your old when ...

[zaza687]

You get excited when your bins get emptied 🤣 your turn

Taking your bra off is one of the highlights of your day 😂🙂

A sunny day used to make you want to lie in the garden in your bikini. Now all you can think is that it'll be very quick to get the sheets dried.

An afternoon of wondering around Dunelm or The Range is something to get excited about

when you say out loud in a pub/restaurant/bar I can’t hear myself think

when you get look at young people in their 20’s in a caring way and hope they are having

You get increasingly irritated by people who don't know the difference between "your" and "you're".

Your kid asks for an ice cream/sweets and you say "no we've got some at home"

• hope they are having fun

My last supply stint back at my former school, Yr 6 History. I remembered so many of the events and could bring in photographs to prove it. I began to wonder if I was there as a teacher or a visual aid.......in my third year of teaching, part of my remit was introducing decimal currency.
I was however a bit miffed when I mentioned Prince Edward (as in House of Windsor) officially opening a new building at the school, and one of the younger pupils assumed that I had met Edward Tudor.

You can get all bedlinen and towels dry on the line in the sunshine.

you chat to your friends about the first occasion you’re able to hang your washing outside that year, and they get equally as animated about it

You forget it's your birthday ... and then wish everyone else would!

When the police officer or doctor looks about 12

You've gone from listening to R1 to R2 and now you are on Boom radio (and know all the words to all the songs)

When your first precious little baby is just about to celebrate his 40 th birthday

When you have just placed an order for your spring bulbs and are off out shopping soon because your daughter needs sensible shoes with arch support for her plantar fascitis.

Oh and especially the first grey pube and now you have lost count.

You put up safety grab rails at the top and bottom of the stairs. Then wonder why you didn’t do it ages ago.

You are training someone at work who was born several years after you started at the company 🤣

You go "ooof" when you stand up.

You get miffed at all the samples/re-boots of old songs and sniff to your dc's "it's not as good as the original" and then insist on playing it to educate them.

You can’t get off a low sofa without hearing yourself groan or say oof

Finishing bottles of shampoo et

So satisfying

@thesecretshame - Oh oh I had one of those ( the one line typewriter thing (although when I did my thesis for university I hand wrote it & my mother had to drive to the nearest town to get the sheets typed up by a very nice lady who was good at typing ( we did not have a printer. )

Getting off the sofa with a bit of an Oh Ah .

You realise that how you look / what you wear doesn't really matter and no one actually cares.

I hate birthdays ! It's worse now I'm closer to 60 than 50.

You only listen to radio stations that play 70s/80s music.

You get down in your hands and knees to retrieve something and think..."Is there anything else I can do while I'm down here?" after going to all that effort.

You get irrationality annoyed by the SPAG twats twatting on a nice, fun thread.

You always have to do some fast maths to work out how old you are.

Your idea of a great Saturday night is a jigsaw puzzle and a podcast.

You have no idea who anyone on the fronts of magazines are.

You go to the hospital for something, and when a 12 year old in a white coat approaches with a smile on their face, you look hopefully over their shoulder to see if a grown-up is also coming to see you.
