I do that !! Not so I mark my weeks viewing but to highlight things I dont want to miss ! Not sure why this bothers you though !
when you go to put the milk in the cupboard and the coffee in the fridge lol
Or even (as I have done in the past) put various cleaning products i.e. laundry powder, washing up liquid and fabric conditioner in the fridge/freezer!:o

Owning slippers and cardies - check
Going downstairs gingerly first thing in the morning - check
Making a noise when I get up or sit down - check
Making sure I 'go' regularly - check
Knowing which bins to put out each week - check
Looking forward to not going out, rather than going out - check
Different pairs of glasses needed for everything - check - or would be if I hadn't opted for varifocals
I am in fact by the definition of this thread 'getting old'...
On the way to work the other morning, i noticed the local crown green bowling club were having an open day, and for a moment considered going along. I didn't go, but I did consider it, which can only mean I'm getting old.
I was actually starting to come to terms with getting older.
Now thanks to this thread I've realised that all I've got left to look forward to is losing my glasses, plucking my chin hairs and making sex noises when I get off the sofa.

For me, at 31, it's more subtle stuff. How I've changed in the last 10 years:
- I was always a tad cynical, but now I see STRAIGHT through advertising and all forms of hype.
- Similarly, I see through health 'warnings', fashionable health 'benefits' and members of the medical profession who just repeat whatever they were told at medical school (usually heavily influenced by drug companies and lobbying). My conclusions, in brief: Moderate coffee drinking is neither good nor bad for you. Heavy coffee drinking does you some harm, especially if you have heart problems. Smoking - if you can keep down to five cigarettes per day or fewer, it's probably not doing you that much harm. Red wine good for you? Possibly, but only to a very moderate extent. Drinking too much alcohol too often is a very dangerous, silly habit. Sugar does far more harm than most things in our diets, fat at 'normal' diet levels isn't anything to worry about. The alleged health benefits of fruit have been grossly exaggerated. A good, brisk walk lasting at least half an hour three times per week is plenty of exercise. There's no need to join a gym or play sport, which wear your joints out and will catch up with you in all sorts of ways in old age. The alleged harm of cholesterol may well not be true. The risks to mental health caused to some cannabis uses by far outweighs any benefits. You're playing a game of roulette with your mental health and it's just not worth it.
- I still watch a fair bit of football, but now I find the 'group mentality' of banal chanting on the terraces and football violence moronic. I mostly watch on TV now.
- As I said, I still like football, and indeed most sports, but I now realise that whether my teams win or lose, it is ultimately of no consequence to my wider life so there's no point in getting too happy when they win or too sad when they lose.
- I was never massively into clubbing to begin with (I usually only did it occasionally to please friends), but I've now reached the stage where I dislike loud music completely. Yeah, I know I could have many, many more years of festival going, live music and drinking in loud bars ahead of me if I wanted to!

PMSL!!:D:D:D:o
Thanks for that my friend;.....really appreciate it.
I might be an ‘old rocker’, but at least I’m not ‘off my rocker’........not yet anyway!
Mine does that and then only watches ITV
I don't think that's just old people.
I do that !! Not so I mark my weeks viewing but to highlight things I dont want to miss ! Not sure why this bothers you though !
I do it too with the Radio Times
But only one day ahead at a time not the whole week !
.......and then whatever I've circled in the schedules I also write down on my 'To Do' list for the next day to remind me to watch it
Sensible and practical I'd say........:D
Or even (as I have done in the past) put various cleaning products i.e. laundry powder, washing up liquid and fabric conditioner in the fridge/freezer!:o

When you know which bin needs to be put out each week (when I was younger I used to just copy the neighbours but now I know myself)
And I find myself agreeing with my parents.

You forgot the bit about smelling of wee. ;-):D
Oh women of a certain age, A cloud of too much perfume to cover that problem
Don't be embarrassed, come back.
Oh, that is why they splash on the perfume. Now I get it, thanks for the tip. ;-)
