I can tell I'm getting old....

[B00]

Yesterday at work whilst I was tidying the magazine area, one of those catalogues, fell out of one. Ya know the ones, filled with things like pinnies to protect your clothes, kaftans and lace doilies to protect your kitchen work surfaces. Now normally I'd throw them straight in the bin, but I took the time to flick through it, and was thoroughly disheartened to find myself occasionaly mutter "ooo, that's nice" and "Damn good idea" over some of the stuff.

Today, a Betterware mag got delivered, and i'm now doing exactly the same.

Is this it? Am I now doomed to one of those giant fleecy slippers (which sound really cozy!) huddled over the fire with a Slanket (again, good idea) doing the crosswords in a People's Friend mag (I do so hope they have a small catalogue in them if i do!).

Quote by Billy Connolly:

3 rules for getting old

"Never pass up the oppurtunity to go to the toilet"

"Never trust a fart"

"If you get an erection - use it. Even if your by yourself"

jd :-)

I actually use rule number one!

Browsing through the latest IWOOT catalogue, this made me lmfao.

Naznomad have you seen the advert? This is absolutely hilarious, they look like a weird cult.

Hehe Nazzy, can you imagine the conversation on the phone beforehand?

"hey dude, it's Friday night, lets kick back, grab our Slankets, and guzzle Horlicks till we're out of our bonces".

Very rock and roll!

I know someone who refers to these small catalogues as 'nick nacks for duck heads' (well similar anyway). I could never understand this terminolgy for what essentially is a jolly interesting brochure.

[B00]

Totally agree ttfn, want to secretly browse through this Betterware mag? Some brilliant things in there!

The only place I could get a good large pair of Toenail Clippers was
'"The Little Booklet" - Don't knock it.

And what's wrong with kaftans? I'm wearing one now. Much more comfy than getting dressed. My mother in law bought me one 10 years ago and I thought I'd never wear it but do now all the time.
