Signs of growing older

[MikeyBikey]

Going into the bedroom, answering your mobile and forgetting why you went there!

Going to bed at 10 when in younger years you'd be half cut by then with another 4 hours to go.

Just a footnote is case anybody is over thinking - I didn't forget that I was going to bed but needed a new tub of rest strips for my BG kit in the living room! 🙂

Just discovered a new one... getting urgently admitted to hospital and seeing the name of the Ward is "The Old Persons Ward".

That's pretty unambiguous 🙂

“I’ve reached the age where my brain went from ‘You probably shouldn’t say that’ to ‘What the hell, let’s
see what happens.’'

Reminds me of
"Now my body says "You can't do this boy"
But my pride says "Oh yes, you can"

I sometimes scour the streets for a good box.

I cut them down and recycle them for print packaging.

I’ve got enough of a reputation on the street for people to save nice big sturdy flat ones for me

Old age is not so bad when you consider the alternative.

I unscrew the milk carton top and then I'm stumped. Need the old-fashioned can opener to get into the other bit. Can't seem to remove the darned pull off plastic. I thought we were doing away with plastic!

Having a 'kneeler' in the kitchen as well as the one in the garden.

On the plus side being able to tell the peoples selling stuff or doing surveys "Sorry love, I just can't stand!" and rushing off without feeling guilty.

My husband (62) has just discovered Miley Cyrus, plays her songs for hours at a time,

At my age ‘getting lucky’ means walking into a room and remembering what I went in for.

It’s being offered an OAP concession without having to ask, or be asked for proof.

Going to local shop 3 times and still forgetting the milk

You know you’re getting older when your childhood toys become collectables and antiques.

Witnessed an accident at the bus stop on my way to work. A young schoolboy asked if he could use my mobile to call the police which he then did as I stood next to him. He told them about the accident and they must have asked him questions and I heard him say "I'm with this old woman... " I wouldn't mind but I was much younger then.

The important thing to remember is that I’m probably going to forget.

As I'm getting older I find that I'm using my glasses more​

When I was young I just drank straight from the bottle

You get put in a home and still have an attitude

You and your teeth don't sleep together anymore.....
