Cheeseville, Somerset

Tomorrow I'm picking up a new cordless vacuum.

Can't wait to test it out once it's charged up.

Sad, I know.

I also shut my front door this afternoon when I was going to Aldi and then went to blip the car key fob to lock it.....🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

What signs have you experienced recently that you may be getting on a bit?

All over

I was worried recently as was eating too many mint humbugs and could be a sign I might be moving on to the Werther's originals soon. I was so worried I did a thread asking people's opinion on it

Zero tolerance for people's bs.

Zero interest in fuckwittery.

Because they both tend to interfere with a lady's quest for peace and happiness.

Can people not just live well and quit their silliness?

Just being a parent mostly. It’s really humbling hearing your child refer to people as ‘old like you’

In the west.

My kids would say I turned into Victor Meldrew many years ago, they may have a point though.

I have started cutting people out of my life who piss me off or are just arseholes.

I fairly often forget what I’m talking about, mid conversation.

I know I’m not very old nor do I have an old person’s outlook but I get my bus pass this year, which I am looking forward to getting. I just hope I remember to tell the driver where I am going.

I'm so old that I've only known one way to lock and unlock a car and that's with a key.

Both my vehicles are also so old that neither of them even came with a blippable fob.

Your eyebrows are grey and drooping over your eyes, like a no-dignity Gandalf. Not ideal when you're trying to look fetching in your best lingerie.

And plucking doesn't help because you'd have no eyebrows left if you plucked out the grey.

Think I might prefer the technology of the past to the present where people are so scared of getting their car fob cloned that they have to keep it in tinfoil bag at night (or in the fridge)!

Wake at sunrise

Forget, literally everything

My body seems to be confused with how to store fat

I've changed my knickers shape from brazilian to mid rise

When running, I've stopped speeding up when I see people

Definitely dropping off peoples filters on dating apps now that I'm 51

On the plus side ..

The younguns at the festival said 'youre amazing, when I'm your age I want to be like you'

I just had the confidence to change my own brake discs and pads

I'm way more prepared .. I keep tissues, head torch and a spare pair of shoes in my car
