I have been feeling my age more and more of late. There was THE birthday, and the increasing change in hair colour. Can this really be happening?
Yep.
Here are another five reasons I know I am now middle-aged.
- Tuesday nights out are preferable to Friday nights out as it is less busy and you can be sure of finding a seat in the pub.
- ‘A new mop’ was the top entry on my Mother’s Day wish list. The desperately sad news is that I didn’t get one so this has now been transferred to my Christmas wish list. Jeepers.
- My list of things I keep meaning to sort out but never seem to find the time to now includes items such as ‘make a will” and ‘sort out life insurance’.
- I no longer envy other drivers for their cars’ sleek, sporty lines, soft-tops or leather interiors but their boot-space.
- It is time to leave the pub when I see the band arrive.
WHEN did this happen?
*Weeps*

You are about a month older than me.

Mahahahaha….you don’t have a crazy-ass toddler on your hands do you? If not then NO my dear Monsieur Cargill you ARE NOT yet middle-aged x
Elaine Livingstone says
Im not middle aged then as I do not have a “crazy-ass toddler”, and as I am only celebrating the 23rd anniversary of my 30th birthday this year then it must be a while till Im middle aged

It is AGES away lovely….you are an eternal spring-chicken. I can tell 😉

Toddlers age you. FACT.
But then you’re not in your 40s with a stash of cardigans so I think you’re probably just fine.
jbmumofone says
They do indeed.

… and do you ever hear yourself say “please can you turn that music down, I can’t hear myself think”. When you hear yourself say that, you age about 20 years on the spot.
jbmumofone says
Oooh yes. This May have happened once or twice.

I caught myself saying (well yelling) to my kids “I don’t care who started it, I’m finishing it”, and just flinched!
