Posted: 12/14/2008 4:42:54 AM | I was telling my kids about the days when electrical items didn't come with plugs already on them the other day. They said "Blimey, what did you have to do? Buy a plug and put it on yourself?" You'd have thought I was telling them that I had to make my own shoes, they thought it was that bad!
I said sometimes the most important things in the house had plugs and everything else just had wires stuck in and held in place by something that did have a plug on.
Can you remember those days? Amazing how quickly we forget and just get used to things the way they are now. I'd completely forgot about that until something happened to bring it back to mind. | |

Posted: 12/14/2008 4:48:09 AM | My brother a little more conservative of the old pennies than myself actually sold me a second hand Commodore (remember them and ye olde ZX Spectrum??) and took the plug off as, he pointed out, electrical goods didn't come with them!
I remember Ski yoghurt and canned OJ were luxuries......once upon a time. In fact TV, never mind colour was for the very well off or electrically nous only in the 60s. At least you could play out for the entire school holidays though. | |

Anything in your life make you feel your age or that you're collecting birthdays at an alarming rate ??
I jokingly told someone she were 'sixpence short of a bob' when we were laughing at something daft she'd done. Then had to explain sixpences and bobs. | |

You smile at an attractive young lady in the street, and you'll know she's likely to smile back, not because she finds you remotely attractive, but because she just thinks you must just be being friendly, as you're an old git.
when someone starts a sentance with ... " you remember so'n so ........"
and references someone you used to know, you'd take even money at that point that they're dead.
you wake up with ache's, pains, swellings and abrasions that you just can't account for | |

Posted: 12/14/2008 2:08:22 PM | when you ask your son if he would like to go to the local because they have a 'disco' he fell about laughing.. 'I meant to say music, I really did!' *honest* ..
When I am in the nightclub getting chatted up and my two sons come running over and say.. 'who is this then mummy'... agrrrr!.. (piss takers)..
I have been a nan (granny) for three months now..and love taking him out for the day, but then someone always asks ..'ahh! is that your son'.. NOPE!..
and when your daughter says to you when you are off out for the night..'wow you look great mom'..My ego is all boosted..then she finishes with 'you can get cream for those wrinkles now'......... | |

Posted: 12/14/2008 3:40:21 PM | Firstly congratulations Mac, careful you dont get signed up for babysitting duties lol.
Remember telling my kids we did not have a fridge til I was 10 and only had a coal fire in the living room as a source of heat and had frost on the inside of the bedroom windows. Thank goodness for central heating and double glazing. Do miss some of the old sweeties tho, used to love Spangles and Aztec bars ooh and MoJos. | |

Posted: 12/14/2008 3:43:12 PM | | Congrats Mac, I was an aunty at 5 months old, a great aunt at 23 and will be a great, great aunt at the ripe old age of 41 - now the others I could cope with but being a GREAT, GREAT AUNT makes me feel old indeed, methinks it's time to just drop the great bit and just be an auntie full stop. | |

She did confirm how strange a breed you women are when she ordered her fella to go and get a bacon sandwich with hamburger relish on it from a nearby cafe during her 12.5 hours of labour whilst swearing mercilessly at the hospital staff "I am f@cking pushing' !!

Posted: 12/14/2008 4:10:54 PM | Oh what I mostly hated as my own sign was when the stuff in restaurants and shops started addressing me with 'madam' instead of 'miss'
I still haven't forgiven them  | |

I was talking to a friend who is a bit older than me, and she said something similar.
Though she was talking about an addition to her underwear.
A 'drip tray' she called it! | |
