Not guilty but I did notice it first thing this morning, and nearly wet myself laughing. Who ever is the culprit, I like their sense of humour ... (sorry lottie, no offence intended, but it really was funny ! ).

Oh you have my sympathy! I turned 40 over the summer and try as I might to ignore it, the friends and family had other ideas! I have to say though that once I actually got there it wasn't as bad as the thought of getting there!! :-\

OMG!! LOL!! Yes was me!! LOL!! Oh dear, I really shouldn't be allowed near a computer unsupervised, have now given me 2 fake fortieths, which means 80!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!....Always taken in good humour, never fear!! ;D ;D ;)
Thanks Amanda!! Though hand on heart, not fussed!! I seem to be having more fun the older I get!! Definitely growing older disgracefully, but thank you. May feel differently as it draws ever closer...Keep and eye out for more memory loss issues, and quiet sobbing around Feb.... ::) ;)

Those memory losses are what (those of a certain age) call 'senior moments'. I don't think that at 39 you've quite reached that age yet. 40 maybe !!!!!!!!!!

As you can see, spelling mistakes also increases, even after using spell check.
Anyway, life begins at 40, didn't you know. ;DÂ ;DÂ ;)

One of the things I have found as you get older is that the body can't keep up with the mind... Senior moments aside that is.
My brain tells me that I am still twenty-six years old, my body tells me otherwise
I can still outwork my two sons-in-law though...no stamina these young whippersnappers ;) ...where's my tablets? ;D

I find I need less sleep. For years I've had 'sleepless nights' and yesterday I had a revelation. I'm getting older, (still in 50's) need less sleep, therefore, I have time to do more things. How cool 8) is that. I'm often up in the wee small hours looking at gardening books and planning the allotment.

Think I may be getting senior moments bit early then....Had meeting in town this am, left in plenty of time, put on MP3 music and pootled off.....twenty mins later found myself on the wrong side of town....... had forgotten what I was doing and where I was going!! ::) Had just been driving about, bellowing out songs! Worst bit, was phoning Company and getting new directions and trying to explain lateness ...have surgically removed MP3....going for lay down in dark cupboard... :-\ ;D ;) Who's got the tablets? ???

Don't worry U C I'm sure we've all been there. Sometimes I get to work and can't remember driving there. I take exactly the same route at the same time. It must be implanted in my brain, what there is left of it, at my age. :'(

Lily & UC. Don't have the thing about going to work (retired) but I hate to say how many times I go in the kitchen (or any other room) and can't remember why I am there ;D Of course I do have a valid excuse....... IT'S MY AGE OF COURSE !!!! Lorna.

With you on the stamina thing Derek, my kids cant keep up with me !!!
But on the memory issue, I bought a small notebook to keep with me so as to jot things down ... it took me three weeks to remember to put it in my pocket ... !
