- The sales assistant in Mac cosmetics, aged about 31, tells you her mum, like you, also gets the occasional spot.
- A 'friend' asks you how often you 'get your roots done'.
- You book your first professional hair colouring session (see above) and the hairdresser nods far too enthusiastically.
- You are alarmed to notice that you are substantially older than everyone else at the local public ice skating session.
- You find the presence of too many giggling teenagers on dates annoying and immature, at said ice rink.
- You bend down to take a photo of the grass covered in a layer of frost and your knee gives way slightly.
- You remember Opal Fruits with fondness.
- You start to consider the benefits of thermal underwear and sensible footwear.
- You mention black and white televisions sets and a time when programmes could not be paused or recorded and your child looks at you in horror.
- You discover that demonstrating a forward roll, even on a bed of cushions, is no longer a good idea and should not be done more than once.
- You listen with heightened interest to a conversation about pension credits.
- Entering your details on an email sign-up form means you have to scroll down the options for an inconvenient length of time to find your Year of Birth.
- You write a blog post and realise there was a reason for doing so, but you can’t quite remember what it is.
Is it just me?
