Adults Only !

So, my Mum's Saturday newspaper had a section in it today titled" So How Many Boxes Do You Tick?"
The 30 telltale signs that you're really getting old !

Depressingly I had to read it, and sadly I ticked many more of the boxes than I thought I would have done, I think I was old in my teens!

For those of you that are interested in knowing whether you're getting old or not, here's the list...
Knock yourselves out !

1) Falling asleep in front of the TV  (always done that) 


2) Feeling Stiff  (this question for Women Only, I don't need to know about men's stiff bits)


3) Groaning when you bend down  (no sexual innuendos please)


4) Losing your hair (this is of course only for those who had hair to begin with)


5) Hating noisy pubs ( what noise? since they banned smoking all the pubs are empty)


6) Thinking Teachers/Policemen/doctors look really young (duh, aren't they all 12 anyway?)


7) Getting More Hairy - ears, face, eyebrows, nose etc... (ewuuuuu)


8) Struggling to use Technology (does this include the TV)


9) Forgetting Names (um?)


10) Not knowing any songs in the top 10 (what's that?)


11) Choosing clothes and shoes for comfort rather than style (Don't remember when I started doing that)


12) Driving Slowly (sadly, as Danni would quickly tell you, I'm absolutely guilty here)


13) Developing a fondness for Sherry (no comment)


14) Complaining More (have you read my blog?)


15) Joining the Women's Institute  (actually I was an active member when I was 27 :o( hmmm)


16) Misplacing glasses/bag/car keys (now that's just silly, everyone does that)


17) Thinking work colleagues are getting younger  (HA, I'm OK here I don't have any)


18) Listening to The Archers (what, never!)


19) Moving from Radio 1 to Radio 2 (did that aeons ago, hate Radio 1)


20) Taking a Mid Afternoon Nap  (would if I had the time, guess that's a yes then)


21) Joining The National Trust (I'm all for that)


22) Becoming a Parish Councillor (absolutely not I've met way too many of those !)


23) Complaining about The Rubbish on TV These Days ( pretty much, anything other than Ramsey or chopped you can keep)


24) Ears Growing bigger  (is that a symptom? my ears are so small a little growing wouldn't hurt, but it hasn't happened yet!)


25) Preferring a Sunday Walk to a lie-in (never really had much opportunity to lie in, so honestly wouldn't know)


26) Being Shocked by Racy Music Videos (shocked in a good way or bad?)


27) Going On a No Children Cruise (Now this is just silly, let me think, trapped in a closed environment at sea, surrounded by thousands of people AND CHILDREN... UM, NO THANKS)


28) Taking a Keen Interest in The Garden (serious answer here, I've always loved the garden)


29) Enjoying Being Asked for Proof of Age (well that's just sad)


30) Knowing your Alcohol Limit (and this is just silly LOL)


So How many did you tick?
