50 Ways to know you are past it !

Where do you find a birth date list? I didn't even think to look for one!

I hate it as well, ana. It's insulting.

loopy they're hopeful!

Or desperate!

Yep! Imagine it. "The oldest woman alive, and still Gransnetting"!

Good grief, she can run up the stairs at 74? AND she can wear high heels (albeit not for too long these days). I have had to wear flat shoes because of intense foot pain for about 10 years. And I struggle to walk up the stairs a lot of the time because of said foot pain and knees that are shot to pieces.

But I DO still stand to put my knickers and trousers on (not tights, can't remember the last time I wore a pair). I don't claim to get my foot in the right hole first time, but I'm not giving up yet

She says that she doesn't like showers-prefers a good soak,well that's okay if you have a loving husband to lever you out of the bath if you get stuck. I live alone so have to make do with showers otherwise I'd be stuck forever if I took a bath.

Haven't got a bath. Haven't had one for over five years. I do not fall over in the shower.
Actually, another reason not to look at the list is that I do not want to know what I have in common with Sandra Howard.

I do agree with her remark about the Queen though. I often wonder how she manages to walk up and down steps without help and walks backwards after laying a wreath.

Whatever she's on, I'd like some.

I've always sat on the bed to put pants and trousers on and have always done my bra up at the front. I definitely can't run upstairs or on the flat !

I have to laugh at DH, he sits, pulls on his boxers as far as his knees then does the same with his trousers, stands and pulls them both up the rest of the way together. "Why waste energy standing up twice" says he.

I really hurt my back putting on tights when I was in my 50s. I haven't worn them since. Socks and knee highs - I have to lean against a door frame to put them on.
