Re. mislaying reading glasses - I read somewhere that when you put your glasses down, you should take a mental photograph of them in situ, then you can remember where they are - only thing is, remembering to take the mental photo in the first place!

Re: you know your getting old when
 

Quick answer.....if you only need glasses to read and have no other problems with you eyes....buy 5 pairs of ready made reading glasses at 1 pound a pair and scatter them about the house...my Spanish Keyboard has not got a pound sign...forgive :cool:

I feel young again, I only scored 2 out of the 6, whoopeeeeeeeee

Re: you know your getting old when
 

No..... the reading glasses tip is no good for me.....I have fi-bocals....and the tip about taking a mental picture is good, but my glasses seem to have a chameleon like quality in that they can camouflage themselves with ease....anyway when i had my last prescription made up I had an extra pair made so that i have a reserve pair.....in a case in the sideboard drawer.

You know you are getting old when the pots of wrinkle cream outnumber the tubes of lipstick:D

And when you choose shoes for comfort rather than fashion......and when you look for pants with elastic waistbands.......and when you choose big knickers to 'hold it all in place'.........and when you could carry five pound of spud in your bra cups.......I don't think any of these will apply to you Royboy:D
