you know you're getting older when...

[scotchick]

phew what about a little light relief from the smacking thread!

I have two:

1 having to get up every night about 2 or 3am to pee (very depressing)

2 my boobs having actual bodily contact with my stomach

the hair dresser tells oy you look young
wot i am not normally?

you prefer Thrifty Northern Granny Retail Therapy (aka Safe Shopping) to the real thing

you frantically get your norks out whenever you can on the basis this is their Final Airing

your partner (if you are a bloke) points out that no way are you an Angry Young Man, and that even if you don't qualify as a Grumpy Old Man yet you are certainly a Peevish Middleaged Man

oh, and the other older mothers at school kind of gravitate towards you - there's a shared look of weariness about you all...

and you find your pubes are going grey.

Do they? I thought they just get sort of sparse.

And you find yourself musing how odd it is that the grey/white ones are polka straight even though your hair is curly as fuck
