You Know You're Old When...

So - I need some new vests ( I feel the cold okay )

I went shopping - my sister tells me that a shop called 'Forever 21' sell a range of different coloured vests all around £2.

Perfect!

I went into said shop - explored all 3 floors of tat - no vests to be found.

So I ask a sales assistant.

This is when I realise I am OLD.

Me: Excuse me - do you sell vests?
Sales Girl: Erm what?
Me: Vests - you know vests - do you sell vests?
Sales Girl: What?
Me: (louder) VESTS
Sales Girl: I don't know what you mean? *Gives vague look*
Me: You know you wear them underneath clothes to keep warm - thin straps
Sales Girl: No - I don't know what you mean
Me: Sigh....

At this point I know I am old.

Anything else I should look forward / be warned about?

I was in nashville at the end of the summer, hobbling around on crutches due to over indulgance, a freak bit of bad weather and the need to buy a coat. Forever 21 was the shop I went to to buy the jacket I wear during the autumn. It was cheap and due to my age I am tight.

... a similar affliction strikes whenever John Kettley gives a weather forecast.

This is becoming less of a problem as time goes by.

And so is Michael Fish!

........... this year, had I still been married, in 10 days time, it would have been my 35th wedding anniversary.

I was in a shop this lunch time, and a song was playing that mentioned hash tags and selfies, I snarked at this mentally that it was a desperate attempt to appear current. I then shouted at some kids to get off my lawn.

Only this very week I have purchased some 'Vests' - from Primarni in Stafford, they are £2.50 & come in black, white, cream or burgandy - they like to call them 'Vest-tops' & hide them in the sleepwear section amongst the pj's .... :)

Other frillier versions are available for £3.50+

Primari sell black leggings with fur inside... ( velvet plush) omg they are so fluffy and warm, sizing is extremely small though! l-xl is supposed to fit up to a size 20 ... more like a size 12 unless you you find Spanx comfortable. The ones I brought were bloody tiny ( maybe a sizing error?) I'm going back to buy sum fleece lined , hopefully the sizing is better.
