When it is cold I cannot bear putting cold undies on! Have to put them on the radiator for a couple of minutes - but I can still stand Ok to put them all on including my socks.

NanKate, it was a simple question, no hidden agenda.

Yes I am past bungy jumping

May soon be past cycling (probably selling my bike next week)

No I am not past gardening.

So the answer depend on what "IT" is.

Oh and BTY I will never be past shenanigans grin

jingl, I think it's just laziness on my part - why stand up when you can sit down and do it? (or at least get your legs in the right holes! wink)

Pompa go and sit on the naughty step for implying shernanagins ! wink This could give MrK ideas - oo you are awful.

I sit to put socks on, knickers and trousers I can still manage standing up, but my balance isn't as good as it was. I tried to stand on a chair at work, to reach something on top of the lockers, but couldn't manage it, probably because my hip let me down. I had to go and find a tall man!sad

I sit down to put socks on, but not knickers! I'm not that much of an old crock.

I agree Ana- if I stood against a piece of furniture to put on my knickers etc I would be on the floor. I have never got dressed that method, I have always sat on the edge of the bed.

I never stand up to put socks, pants or trousers on - I sit on the edge of the bed then stand up!

I do both of the above and more.
I still say 'going to the pictures' and many more old fashioned stuff that I can't recall at the moment.

You need to define the "IT" that we are past.

Sandra Howard has compiled a list of pointers to identify if you are past it in the DM today. I could tick about 45 of them. hmm

Here are a couple of my own.

I have to lean against a chest of drawers when I put my trousers on to stop myself falling over.

I miss the leg hole when I am putting on my knickers. tbublush
