You Know you're Getting Old When.....

[surfgurl]

You go to a museum and say "We had one of them!", "I remember my mum using that!" ...

I remember going to several museum exhibitions with my Mum when I was younger and watching her getting increasingly nervy at the fact things she had as a child being museum exhibits.
Age got its own back on me a few months ago at a museum.

When you bend down to pick something up and look around for something else to do while you're down there, so save doing it again later....

(My Mum quoted that one last week...)

When she's old enough to be your daughter.

 

[Disgruntled Goat]

When the leader of the Conservative Party is younger than you are.

You save old trainers for for in the garden.

Anymore?

When you won't throw away your old comfy trainers, even though you used them to shift 50 gallons of raw sewage as I did on Saturday.

Ok, I threw them eventually, but under protest.

Now *that's* what I call a curry party!

Funny you should say that. I live on a hill, and the drains have been backing up and raw sewage pouring out of my drains. The guy I got in to help me rod and pressure wash the drains said it was bad, 'but not as bad as the Indian restaurant I had to clear out last week'.

You utter an 'ooof' noise everytime you sit down or get out of a chair.

When you won't throw away your old comfy trainers, even though you used them to shift 50 gallons of raw sewage as I did on Saturday.

And never even thought of using a bucket instead.

you hear songs on the radio and sing along to them and your kids say how do you know that, ,,,, it was about when you were a kid and just been remixed???????????

you cannot drink all day and get up the next day bright and breezy
*thinks back to the weekend *
but we all still had a great time.

 

[Disgruntled Goat]

They start having 'revivals' of things you remember first time around.

Everything you like is 'old skool'

 

[Hover Fly]

You fill a kettle, put in on the cooker and light the gas. Then after two minutes remember it is an electric kettle.

In my experience it's the teens and 20 year old people who have most difficulty the next day, the 40 and 50 year olds delight in making as much noise as possible at 7 am.

You start keeping empty marg tubs and other plastic containers 'because they might come in useful'. I'm turning into a hybrid of my mum and dad.
