I seem to have inadvertently aged a decade in the space of a week..first I found out I'd been going out with a bloke who's a DAD (at what point did blokes my age get old enough to be fathers?! :O) and now I've gone to do thesite's survey and they don't want my opinion because I fall outside the core 16-24 bracket..:( Want to tell the world to wait..I'm not ready to grow up yet!! :O Anyone else had 'breakthrough' moments where they suddenly realised they were getting older?

Patchy grey hair.
a "younger" than me girlfriend.
realising the 12 years I've been working has gone so damn quickly!!!
I'm only 28
Oh, and the fact that I still try to take part in surveys, even though for the past 4 years, I've not been allowed to. Anything for those damn Amazon vouchers
Ha ha ha! Youve still been trying for the past 4 years?! I might be old,but I'm still a quicker learner than *that*..:p And yes,strubble,I'm just waiting for an official letter from the government confirming I'm old enough to draw my pension..should be here any day now..:nervous:
you really.
:crying:
btw Helen ...... I get the hint!! *walks away, tail between legs*
Plus I'm off to see my "little" brother graduate soon, how can he have finished university?! I remember him as the little boy I had to protect in the playground from the bullies, not a full-grown, much taller than me man with a degree in History and Politics!!
Ha ha ha! Wow..yeah the little brother thing's pretty scary!!
I turned 25 this weekend and age has never really bothered me but I think in the last few years I have always mentally thought 'I'm only a few years out of school' etc - now I realise I am nearer to 30 than I am school age!
I sometimes wonder if I should feel more grown up, ok I am married and have a house, steady job etc but in my head I am still the kid I was 10 years back.
Oh god, the day my little brother graduates from uni I'll cry because I'll suddenly realize how old I really am.
He's only 2 at the moment though, so I've got a while
Then I thought 'Oh God, I just mentally called someone a whippersnapper - I AM a woman'
Nah - you're just Northern!
Aye, shoulda set me whippet on 'im
I would have, if I hadn't been busy adjusting my flat cap.
I felt old, but this thread makes me feel young :P
ARE you?! Goodness..I always got the impression you were loooads older cos youre one of the old hands around here!!
Ha, that reminded me of a few months ago. A kid of about 10 in the street called me "mister". :eek:
