Officially old

The pharmacist asking if I want a carrier bag. :cry:
After this morning, after my medication review, I left the pharmacy attached to my GP practice with a large bag of prescriptions. Well 2 of them are 6 months and a year's worth. Then on opening my bag, noticed that my repeat prescriptions is now on TWO sheets!

Wow -thats a cracker - Love the staples.

I had a hernia and when they finished they pulled both sides together so you had a verticle line of skin and got a needle and thread and stitched in and out all the way along and finished off with a bead with hole in and tied it off.
The nurse just cut bead off then pulled thread out.
No sign of a scar anywhere now . :)
 
- Every time I play football I pull a hamstring. Never used to happen, now happens nearly every time!
- People around me telling me they had no idea David Beckham had an affair, because they can't remember that far back.
- Being equidistant to state pension age as the year I started secondary school.
 
The realisation that in less than 2 years I'll have a 30 year old nephew. I'm 10 years older but that made me feel ancient

having to explain to my 9 y/o niece what a post card is

I think the worst though is the fact that menopause adverts keep popping up on Instagram etc. Then I get Holland and Barrett emails about menopause supplements. Way to make a girl feel even worse about the fact she's not a mum yet :(


Eesh that pic needs to be in spoilers :(

Not these days you won't you'll end up on a neverending waiting list that just keeps stretching indefinitely into the future mothers been waiting for a hip op for years now I've lost count of just how long by the time this lot need one they''ll probably die of old age before it happens which may be the plan all along...
 
Come on people man up (and woman) there is nothing about that picture that is offensive - it's a cut with stitches in it.

If I had a picture of where some of my stitches have been you would all be squirming around the floor holding yourself. That was in 1953 when you had rubber mask put on your face and chloroform dripped on. You was sick as a dog when you woke up, This is why I have never got on with condoms -They smell just the same.

God help us if Ukrainian and Hamas war get over to us. Man Up.:)
