To realise I like old lady things

[AiryFairyMum]

I bought some Yardley perfume for my grandmother and haven't been able to give it to her due to lockdown. I really like it and am going to buy some for me.
Also, I've started looking at those pointy cross-your hearty bras and thinking they look comfy and I quite like the shape, without having to cope with underwires (which I hate).
I'm 37, not 73. Are there any other old lady things I might like please?

Lavender-scented drawer bags

Massive pants are amazing.

YY to massive pants. I bought some in Sainsbury's by mistake (thought they were hi-legs) and they are amazing.

Try Sketchers Go Walk . Your feet and face will be in heaven

I love big knickers, lavender and rose scented perfumes, I prefer tearooms to bars these days!

I'm 42 and love wearing my apron for cleaning and cooking, Agatha Christie books, jigsaw puzzles, blankets, hot water bottles and visiting the library.

I also love loud house music, going clubbing, my peloton bike, Topshop and Yoga.

Nothing wrong with embracing your old lady tendencies but don't let them define you 😉

Ahh yes, I bought massive pants when I was pregnant and never went back afterwards. Just so comfortable!

White magnolia creme bath.

Rosewater

A shampoo and set?
Control pants - you know the ones, beige ones that look a bit like cycling shorts.
Support tights
Purple clothes
Beige clothes.
Scarves

Murder She Wrote DVDs.

I love going to bed early, like 9pm. Cardigans, comfortable shoes, pearls.

I am obviously a secret old lady 🙈 I love M&S magnolia bubble bath, Murder She Wrote, Agatha Christie and the Triumph delicate Doreen bra is the most comfy thing ever!

Powdery-smelling perfumes. Seed cake.

I am putting all these on my old lady shopping list - thank you!

Powdery perfume? Which ones are there? I only know prada iris and I love it.
I also love tea, cake, gardening, pottering around, and am currently rereading all my Ruth Rendell books, similar to agatha christie

Lily of the valley perfume.
Old lady sandals.
Stewed beef from a tin.
Big pants. Personally I love them. Brought them for post birth. Still in them 6 weeks later. Fully intend to keep them til they fall apart. So comfortable.

Also, I forgot my favourite shoes - Hotter, FipFlop and Birkenstocks.

Cardigans, blankets, big pants, those old fashioned long cotton nighties in hot weather, Miss Read books, LittlecHouse On The Prairie..
You'd never know to look at me!

One of my favourite joys in life is the damart catalogue brochure that you sometimes get with the sunday papers

Frys chocolate cream.

Anything lilac scented, Amouge Lilac Love and Pacifica French Lilac

Big comfy cotton pants

Putting a house coat on to tidy up

Cats, so many cats.

Cheesypea yes!!

Oh, I love a good episode of Murder She Wrote! I must admit, I am a fan of big knickers and have recently found a love for non-padded bras as they are much more comfortable. I also bought some nude tights accidently in 50 denier the other day and I realised I've reached little old lady territory!

May I recommend Anais Anais perfume, a big massive pot of proper Nivea (what was the other cream called?) and pan stick make up (I actually still use pan stick!). Oh and talc in a little tub with a powder puff.

Agatha Christie, Remonte sandals, knitted blankets!
