Evidence that you're getting oldYouthful as I am, I realised yesterday that I no-longer know, or care, who is #1 in the charts. Furthermore, it takes all day to get rid of a hangover and I now seem to have a profound interest in gardening. Worst is that I now use words like 'furthermore'.
What makes you think that you are getting old?

"Grandma, we love yooouu, Grandma, we dooooo..."I've got grey hair (that's 'hair plural', not 'hair singular', I'm afraid.)
People in shops call me "madam", and I'm automatically a "Mrs" to telemarketers etc.
On the rare occasions I go out, I feel absolutely friggin' geriatric amongst all the alco-popped-up 16 year olds, who make me want to ask them if their mothers know they're out so late, and don't they think they've had enough to drink now?
I've thrown out all my strappy heely footwear and tight fitting clothes to make way for flat shoes and comfortable items with elasticated waistbands. Mainly in black.
I worry about interest rates and pensions.
I can't wait to sit down and have a nice cup of tea after I've been shopping, 'cos my feet are aching, you see.
My right knee is really giving me gyp. )And don't get me started on my left hip...)
I've just bought an electric blanket and some slippers. And I drink Horlicks before beddy- byes.
I'm starting to squint at things I'm trying to read...
My favourite program is Grumpy Old Men, because I agree with EVERY.SINGLE.WORD. Even the stuff Jeremy Clarkson says.
I'M ONLY 27 YEARS OLD!!! How the hell did this happen, and what am I going to be like at 40, for chrissakes?!
