You know your old when ...

[zaza687]

You get excited when your bins get emptied 🤣 your turn

When you are happy to be in bed with a sparkling water watching TV on a Saturday night instead of out in a pub. Not sure if I'm getting old or boring though?

you get excited about ordering a new front door

When you can relate to Grampa Simpson when he says:

"I used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it' anymore and what’s 'it' seems weird and scary. It'll happen to you!"

Then you realise that episode (Homerpalooza) is 26 years old.

offered a seat in a full waiting room, whaahhhhhh! In my head I’m 23! Obviously looked a lot nearer to my true age that day.

Feel happy on bin day from the satisfaction of having an empty bin.
Feel even more happy after taking things to the tip.

When you notice you've said "your" instead of "you're"
😂

I love an empty bin too
Even better after the green bin cleaner man has been round as well. I hate getting it dirty again

Yup that's what I was going to say!
Also the cup of tea thing!

When your kid asks you what it was like living in the olden days 😆

When strangers refer to you to their child as "the lady".

Oh yes. I've always looked young for my age (no brag) but am getting that a lot since reaching my mid-30s. It makes me wonder at what point my face suddenly aged to outsiders! I want to still be 'the girl'. 😐

You remember your Dad trying to carefully explain this new concept he'd read about called The Internet, back in 1997 and replying "Nah, it'll never catch on...".

Your first reaction to this post is "you're"

when your teenage daughter refers to you as having been born in the "1900's".

yes that is technically correct, however it was 1972 not bloody 1902. sob.

You can't bear to throw out your bestest comfty shoes even though there's a hole in the toe and the soles are half hanging off. So they become your gardening shoes.

Very old if like me you remember the time when if you called the G.P's surgery for an appointment they would answer the phone immediately and ask if you would prefer a home visit.

When it rains my first thought is ‘oh that’s good for the garden’ 🤣

Astrabees.
I must be even older than you because we didn't have to make appointments for the doctor. You just turned up, noted who was in front of you, sat and waited for your turn.

The hoover with the bag that hooked onto the top of the handle; the hand mincer that screwed onto the side of the kitchen table; the hand whisk that you turned the handle for (and the wood drill that was the same - a brace and bit); a pump action screwdriver...

I could go on for pages. It's a bit of a shocker the first time you experience it

When you laugh at what you perceive to be a grammatical error but you're the one in the wrong. @yougotthelook

I remember when seeing the GP or practice nurse was much easier than it is now.

Thread title...

Lol.absolutely

I was just thing this.
This is how my Dr of years gone by worked he very rarely had a full waiting room as he figured if someone felt poorly when they first woke up the'd always "give it an hour" before seeing if they actually did need to go the Dr's surgery. Nine times out of ten they didn't. It was lovely if you really did have a concern to know you'd be seen that day.
Now it's a case of which comes first Priest or prescription.

I was puzzling about this one myself.

Getting into clean sheets after a shower with legs shaved
Morning coffee in peace
Early nights with horlicks rather than going out
Looking at material for my jumpers to make sure they'll be warm enough in winter
Spending more £ on leather sensible boots for winter
Big pants...who wears thongs nowadays?
Plain t shirt bras which are supportive not fancy one
New pjs
