Anybody else feeling old today?

Zefan · 4 Sep 2012 at 15:03

Nope.

I too am 26.

Sometimes still feel like a sprightly 17 year old, sometimes a knackered 50 year old.

Money and property isn't the be all and end all. They're just facilitators.

Use them to create a space in which you can be happy and you're doing it right - no need to feel old for it

I feel old, physically and mentally, not sure my body will make it to old age tbh, I've worked my body too hard in physically demanding crap jobs, I was quite prideful about work when I was younger and over exerted myself.

I'm 24 and I never feel older, if anything I still think I'm a kid.

I start university next week. I don't feel old, I just thought I'd post to make all you zimmerframe-lovers feel old.

Sometimes I feel old, but then I look at today's teenagers and thank the God I don't believe in that I'm not one of them.
No offense younguns, I'm sure plenty of you are decent lol

Still, being 33 and occasionally getting asked for ID when buying tobacco is hilarious and somewhat comforting in a way.

Went and played football today and oh my god my knees. My knees absolutely ache so much. Probably because I was wearing studs on hard ground. But I don't think that's normal :/.

Judgeneo · 4 Sep 2012 at 17:33

I can't shrug of hangovers like I used to be able to

Or maybe I'm just drinking more

Retromatic · 4 Sep 2012 at 17:45

Yep, feeling old. My youngest son starts school tomorrow, my 'middle' son is in his second year and my eldest starts secondary school also. To top it all, I'm starting to go bald.

I felt old at 03:30 in the morning when my 25 year old rang to say that my 23 year old was that drunk they wouldn't let her in a taxi so I had to drive up to Hanley to get them.

Tibbz2 · 4 Sep 2012 at 18:04

Not really, I do grow a year older this month, but I will still only be 16. I feel too young. I probably am.

My god daughter started secondary school today!

How can I possibly be old enough to have a god daughter THAT old! :eek:

Turned 29 yesterday.

DOOM!

My lad started full time nursery today

Whilst I don't feel old I am getting a bit bored of people settling down, getting married, having kids (not necessarily in that order). Plenty of time for that ****, you gotta live a little first! Most people seem to think that once you hit 21 you have to become a boring sod.

Meh, i'm 32 and now feel like the odd one out because everyone around me has now done all that, and I haven't.

Became a homeowner a few months ago, but thats as grown up as I get.

sigma · 4 Sep 2012 at 19:25

Perhaps we can all be friends?

As long as neither of you are planning to settle down tomorrow!

The worst comment I've heard is someone (family member) asking a 28 year old why he isn't married yet. As if there is some magical age that you must be married by.
