You Know You're Getting Old When......
 
You bend down to tie your shoelace, and wonder..

"Is there anything else I could be doing while I'm down here" ;D

You keep more food in the fridge than beer.

Everything hurts and what doesn’t hurt doesn’t work.

The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.

You sink your teeth into a steak – and they stay there.

Grass is something you cut, not cultivate.

Your back goes out more than you do.

Your secrets are safe with your friends, cos they can’t remember them either.

You’re cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of the police.

An all nighter means not getting up for a pee.

You keep repeating yourself.

You keep repeating yourself.

Hee Hee! ;D

You know when you're getting old when:

Your ears are hairier than your head.

Some one sexy catches your eye and your pacemaker opens the garage door.

You remember buying vinyl albums.

;D

You know you're getting old when...

You get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster... :)

You know you're getting old when:

At the airport, they ask to check your bags . . . and you're not carrying any luggage.

When you do the "Hokey cokey" you put your left hip out . . . and it stays out.

You begin every other sentence with,  "Nowadays . . ."

You come to the conclusion that your worst enemy is gravity.

Your childhood toys are now in an antique shop.

The clothes that you put away until they came back in style . . . came back in style.

You get really excited when someone gives you something from Marks and Spencer.

Dr Scholl shoes start to look comfy.

You feed your dog Science diet instead of Mc Donalds leftovers

Your houseplants are alive and you can't smoke any of them

6am is when you get up and not when you go to bed.

Older relatives feel comfy telling rude jokes around you???

A £1.99 bottle of wine is no longer pretty good stuff.

Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

You go to the chemist for Ibuprofen and Aspirin rather than pregnancy tests. ;D ;D ;D

Re: You Know You're Getting Old When......
 
your probably right there!!

ive heard rumours that it will be between £10 - £15 but nothing official mind.

seems a waste of money cos i reckon she'll only be there 10 minutes or so.

rather spend that on vodka and coke really!!

My Daughter once thought the tv was broke coz the prog was in black & White. Either the Hill Billies or lost in space and had to explain it was a prog that was made in B & W when i was a little girl, because there were no colour T.Vs in those days.

Admit it. You know you are old when people start opening the doors for you.Here is a test:- you know you are really old when you need help to open the doors to the inside market.When you need the electric bike to get around the ASDA and when somebody stands up on the bus to let you sit down

I got asked by a kid I know to buy him a computer game for 18+ and he said - "You could pretend to be my mum" - he's 12 & i'm 21!  

I also noticed a couple of years ago I wasn't referred to by mums talking to their kids as "that girl" I was suddenly promoted to "that Lady".
