You know you're getting older when ...

... if you kept pulling grey hairs out of the husband's head, he'd also be having bald issues.

... you bought a skincare item which entitled you to a free gift with purchase, and there's a range of gifts to choose from. The sales person bypasses the body scrubs and hand lotions and recommends the eye cream.

... it almost seems like a good idea to give up shopping in favour of a new kitchen.

... you have a sexy nighty folded up on your pillow. You also have a pair of socks and a cardi to go with so you don't freeze to death.

... you're hairdresser uses the term 'age fade' whilst staring intently at your hair.

... sensible shoes. That's all I'm going to say.

... you went shopping, had brunch, got pampered, but it was a fantastic weekend because you managed to get all the washing dry. And folded.

... you used to get asked for your ID at the supermarket (6 months ago) when buying wine. Now, they just get a good look at your face.

... you're talking to a Generation Y-er and you hear the words "you're probably too young to remember this ..." come out of your mouth.

... you think this guy is a turkey.

... you have a whole new take on vintage cartoons, TV programmes and movies ... and they're insanely dodgy most of the time.

Shall I go on? Probably not. It's depressing enough as it is.

That's funny ...

I could *swear* that the above comment is from Nikki, who is on the final countdown with study and is supposed to be avoiding all things internet and non-productive study related ...

Isn't that weird?

(That's funny that someone I know, knew the turkey!)

What really gets me about the guy with the tattoo is that he's put an apostrophe in "ABs" which really gets my pedantic goat. what a gonad he is.
