Sorry, but...white wiry eyebrows do happen to women.

...you may need to trim your nasal hair too.

...and there will come a time when you'd rather grate your nipples than enter a nightclub, hard as that may be to believe right now.

Any others?

Your tolerance for pushchairs falls exponentially as you age.
You find yourself muttering about how much they get in the way.

You plan every day trip by marking on the map where the toilets are.

The Lakeland catalogue is regular bedtime reading.

You will use words like whatyoucallit, thingummy and whatshername more often.
A new GP will look younger than your DC, in fact many will start looking younger -police, serving staff, schoolteachers etc.
You will start watching Countryfile more often and remember when John Craven used to be on that whatyoucallit kids news programme.
While watching Antiques Roadshow you will see things that you used to have in your childhood home but didn't know were antiques. Truth be told they weren't antiques then but are now.
When seeing your childhood heartthrob on a chat show, you will remark. Doesn't he look old? Then realise he's younger than you.
