FabSwingers.com forum: Subtle signs of old age sneaking up on you

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

We've just ordered a new bed which we're quite looking forward to but have also brought a new mattress topper that looks really thick and comfy and think this may be one of those old age moments creeping up on us.

Anyone else found something that in reality is fairly ordinary but that make you happy?

Decent oven trays and wanky dishes. Before every few months I'd buy those couple of pounds ones. Now, it's like I'm a culinary goddess and that makes me happy.

I remember a few years ago I was wandering aimlessly around the supermarket one Friday night, not really knowing what variety of cheese or milk to buy. From nowhere a thought popped into my head about when Friday nights were about what I was going to wear, where was I going and who I was going to get off with. I suddenly realised that I was getting old!

Ha, it's not quite as disturbing as it reads. I've got a collection of Le Creuset that gives me joy - Tk Maxx have some brilliant pieces in at amazing prices and it's nice to go in and be old before my time and look at all the tableware and cookware.

Something more mudane!

Got fed up with little home shredders so started burning sensitive documents that wasn't very green and was crap in the winter.

So bit the bullet bought a heavy duty office mother of a shredder!

Two motors, chain drive, stands about just above the dressing table, metal cabinet about pedal bin size!

Wasn't cheap at £500 but nothing stops the mother! No stupid stopping because of it over heating or chocked up!

Shredded and up to the recycling point!

Ha nothing was so satisfying shredding a years back log of paperwork, old bills etc.

No thats satisfaction on something really mundane.

Best I get use to it I have loads to not having a shredder for 3years and relying on a garden burner just didn't cut it.

Yes, was very therapeutic yesterday and this afternoon.

"I find myself saying “the kids these days”...

Do you then shake your head and "tut"? "

Not yet but I’m beginning to feel the twitch in my head...I’m getting there

Sometimes U.K

"I'm looking forward to IKEA opening again."

Does that qualify as getting old?

We realised we are both getting old when (whilst watching porn) we both ended up criticising the decor of wherever they were bonking..

Pull it out and burn it in front of the others, so they know what to expect.

I've done something similar when perving on here not a criticism but thought oh I like what they have done with their bedroom I wish I could see more of it.

Finding radio 1 music all a bit much and then clicking on radio 2 or absolute 90s for when proper music was on

Also had a moment in work recently where I was listening to 2000s music and one of the younger ladies said 'I love the old stuff, my dad plays it loads'

Worst one though is watching pro rugby and no longer saying 'I played with or against him' no seeing guys and saying 'I played against his dad'

"Thinking the 90s was 20 years ago

Don't you mean the 80's?

No I mean the 90s, 20 years ago was 2001. If I’d picked the 80s I’d be going back 40 years and that does make me feel old

Dam, I've lost a decade!

I rent my house. The previous tenant was an elderly woman. The pull down seat in the shower is so useful for shaving my legs!

But I do fear that I've become overly reliant on having a hand rail on both sides of the stairs...

I do feel like an old lady now as I'm knitting and during lockdown, I've been doing painting by numbers with a magnifying glass.

Just to update. New bed and mattress topper are amazing. Feel like I've had a back replacement. Highly recommend treating yourself.
