Signs you're heading towards middle age...

Tartan slippers, and hair growing faster from my nose and ears than on my head. I am not a fan of being fifty.
 
Wanting to stay home and watch a good movie rather then going out drinking all the time or because i want to go for a run in the morning.

I always use fabric softener now when i wash my clothes.

Morning coffee in my jocks while i read the news online :cool: (or surf OcUK)
 
Nearly 34 here, not feeling the effects yet.

Did get into port a few years ago though.
 
Well, I'm actually quite looking forwards to the new washing machine arriving on Monday. I never thought I'd ever write those words, and I'm only 29!

Calling it a night while down the pub because you have to be up early for work. Once I could roll in at 6am, get changed, and go to work at 7am. Back in the day. :(

Week in week out I use to do this! On the lash from Thursday night till Sunday morning whilst still working Friday and Saturday. ****ing £300+ up the wall every weekend.

Now I'm put off getting drunk as it takes me about 4-5 days to recover whilst regretting ****ing £50 up the wall.
 
For I am disappointed. I expected "signs that you're heading to the Middle Ages" to be more like:

Whan light redde, stop deed here.
 
I'm only 30 but I did enjoy getting a pair of slippers for Christmas. Means I can have a smoke outside without having to put my shoes on.

I should really give up smoking.
 
On the plus side, paying under 300 quid to insure a 2 year old XJ when the youngsters are quoted ten times as much for a scratty 1 litre hatchback.

When I turned 40, the middle aged man treat was replacing a cheap BBQ with one built so well it will be a named item in my will (linky).

Downside is reading glasses. I have yet to get them on a chain around my neck, but it is only a matter of time.

I can't do two nights on the lash in a row anymore. It takes me two days to feel normal after a heavy night. :(
 
Being able to afford a tin of salmon :D

down side is as said having a pee that takes 5 min-- 2 min for main blast and three min waiting for the odd tea spoon when you don't expect it - carrying a pair of jeans and underpant's in car just in case -

Also a clean ltr plastic brown sauce bottle in boot for the can't wait moment. :eek:
 
Taking two days to recover from going out drinking.

Aching from somewhere all the time and injuries taking weeks to heal rather than days.

Wearing more shirts than tshirts and thinking trainers are to young for me.

Realising that even if I were single most of the women I'd find attractive wouldn't be interested in me.

Having very little patience anymore. With anything. Or anyone.

Being born closer to WW2 than today.

Being unable to see long distances without glasses... and unable to read at short distances without different glasses.

Falling asleep on the sofa in the evenings.

Being able to insure several cars for less than it used to cost me to insure just one.

Where do I start with middle age.

First the issues I've started to notice now

Waking up in the morning with joint pain for no discernible reason. All I did was sleep

You think all you did was sleep, you might have been out for a half marathon in the middle of the night :eek:
 
First sign for me was noticing that I actually have bottles of spirits in the house. In my twenties, these would be devoured in a matter of days :D

Same. Now I regret going out to pub and spending £20. :(
