You know you are old when.... First and second in a potentially infinate series.

In homage to Masked Mum, who cracks me up on an alarmingly regular basis with her 'Ways I am not grown up' series, I am starting this adhoc series based on things that are cropping up more and more frequently of late. Things that let me know I am not the teenager that I feel on the inside.

1. Old Lady Cream

I may have mentioned this previously, but to be quite frank I am having a lazy evening and can't be bothered to trail through my past posts however please feel free to go post diving. Not so very long ago I actually started to take the anti ageing cream adverts seriously. This was roughly around my thirtieth birthday...not a good birthday! All I wanted to do was hide under the duvet. Somewhere in all this, even with my vow never to buy anti ageing creams, I succumbed I bought the miracle cream. The first time I went to use it my daughter said to me, 'is that you old lady cream Mum?' Cheers for that!!

2. Decorating Kit

When exactly did I become old enough for anti-inflammatory gel to be a staple in my decorating kit??

If anyone fancies reminding me that I am still young please go ahead! I am supposed to be in the prime of my life yet I feel like I am knocking on heavens door, or at least I look like it when I try to move!! Hope you are all feeling young.

 
Just a little something from my youth :-)

    Youth is over-rated. Maybe I have to say that because I'm over-thirty, but...

    I have to say that getting older is certainly a great motivational tool. 'Time to stop messing around and get on with something' is the one thing that has been going round in my head since I turned thirty. I think that birthday was the official 'you are now a grown-up'?!?

    I have several jars of anti-aging cream in my bathroom. I'm still searching for the one that does what it claims.

      May be they are working and if we didn't use them we would look REALLY old ;-)

    Ah yes, Old Lady Cream.....I prefer to think of it just as moisturizer, but I had to face facts last week when I saw my Grandmother had the EXACT SAME CREAM. On a happy note, if this is what she uses to look so young and lovely, I'm on the right track!

    I would probably totally fall for the propaganda of anti-aging products were it not for the fact that I am entirely too lazy to use it. :)
