Im not sure if this goes along with ur question..but when i was younger and first started to drive i was always mad at my mother..because she wud always freak out on me and say that i was going to hit something, or i was doing something wrong..but now that im older, and im thinking about it..im probably going to do the same thing when i have children...and things my parents would do to me..well i swore i wud never do them to my children..but thinking back it all made sense and i probably will do to my children what my parents did to me!
When I was younger I used to look in the paper for people I knew who getting engaged, then it was people I knew were having babies, now it's to see what ages the people who are that are dying & thinking, oh my god, they're not that much older than me!
Funny thing is it's all going round in circles & I now again know some of the people that are getting engaged/having babies as I know their parents!!!
When I,m out shopping and a young mother say,s to her child ( let the lady pass or mind the lady!!! ) When my mum was the age I am now ( 49 ) and thought that was old. Buying small healed shoes for comfort, and think back to the day,s when I used to wear platform shoes, and wonder how on earth did I manage to walk in them without doing myself a serious injury. Not watching Top of the Pops anymore because its just a load of unreckonisable noise. Not plucking my eyebrows anymore, because I,m blind as a bat without my glasses This is the clincher, I was asked by one of the young girls at work ( a 16yr old ) did I have a mobile phone when I was at school!!!!!!!!...........
...blast! I forgot what I came in here to say now...grr...
oh yes, when I was telling some of the girls at work about when videos players, and microwaves first came out, and they just look at you really strangley ... also when you see a young girl wearing a "belt" as a skirt and a crop top , and you think to yourself " jeez she's gonna catch her death wearing that"...god! I' even depressing myself here and I'm only 36...
Around the time of turning thirty, I started to enjoy walking around garden centres, listening to Radio 4 and enjoying a nice, peaceful cup of tea in the garden, whilst tending my plants!! I feel as though I'm at an inbetweenie age (37) and as much as I still enjoy all of the above, I still like to have the odd 'blow-out', going out and getting a bit ratted at pubs with loud music, although, I can't seem to handle the booze like I used to!!
This afternoon I settled down to watch the box for an hour or so before my teatime cooking duties. I didn't fancy the snooker so found myself trying to change channels with the cordless phone that just happened to be on the coffee table and cursing cos it wouldn't work. (well,it's black same as the remote!)
These are some of the first signs I'm getting old. I'll be 50 soon.....time to go for that Saga holiday? No maybe not yet. Just hanging on in there somewhere.
