You Know You're Getting Old When...

[Diane65]

And then I was visiting my friend in Lancaster and her friends son (a 23 year old) told me to mind how I go on the motorway driving back, it's 1 hour away and I'm 44 years old
I am perfectly capable of driving 1 hour on the M6!! (can you tell it got to me)

I'm not sure that is an age thing - if anything it is often older people telling young people to be careful on the motorway because they think they might drive too fast! Maybe your friend's son mistook you for a 'girl racer'.

Ha ha that is so funny I drive a Punto and he has a Porsche!!!

Well obviously with a Porsche will get him much faster on the motorway than you. He has a bigger engine size!

I feel old when kids call me "miss." I really dislike it. I have a name, call me that!

Saying that though, I feel like a kid when my manager tells me off because she thinks that just because I'm single and have no kids, that makes me 16 or something! Also because alot of them knew me from when I was 16!!! And many many years on still treat me like that girl I once was!!!

I also feel really old when my niece says "no aunty, you are too big too do anything." Old and fat.

You know when you are getting old when…

Its make your day when you get the washing dry …or you find yourself rushing home to get the washing in

I remember the days (and I’m not that old really ) when I would leave it out all night if it was too dark, it was raining or I didn’t bother even going home….all innocent stuff though

You know you are getting old when -


You dash upstairs to get something from the bedroom and then forget what you came up the stairs for - only to remember when you have gone back downstairs again!!!

Yes, I think we could have a whole new forum based on this topic!!
