Feeling really old
« on: August 24, 2012, 01:04:38 pm »
Just want to say good bye as obviously I might die any minute of old age. We had a cup of tea with the neighbours this morning. Doug's mobile peeped and he just checked for message etc. the 12 year old daughter of the neighbour looked at him in amazment and said:!I am really impressed that you know how to deal with this - my grandmother has no idea how to do it." Thanks Issy!!!!!

And I was told by a six year old grand-daughter when I wondered what she would look like as a teenager "Oh, don't worry Granny, you'll be dead by then. You're very old" Well, she may be right, I suppose :-\ :tired: :tired:

I turn 40 this year too - not sure if I'm looking forward to it or dreading it.


Oh and now I find myself going to see Scouting for Girls with my kids in a fortnight, I think I'll feel VERY old that day  ::)

Sounds fab!  We're going to see Tom McRae in November  :).  Do you know of Marcus Foster?  He's one of my faves!
