How to know if you’re prematurely getting old

It happens to us all, you’re  sat in your onesie on a Saturday night wondering what happened to your ‘youth’, sigh

• You always make sure that you pee before leaving the house because ‘just in case’. 
• You eat Wholegrain. A lot. 
• You feel very strongly about people using spelling and grammar correctly.
• You have been known to carry mints or hard boiled sweets in your bag for light snacking or long journeys. 

  

• In summer, you might have gone to bed before it’s even got dark. 
• You’re kind of turning into that one annoying family member that posts awkward comments on other (usually younger) family members Facebook statuses. 
• You actually know the difference between Merlot and Shiraz and sometimes you even buy wine that’s not on offer  

• It somehow seems impossible to go out 2 days in a row. 
• You have a large collection of herbal teas. 
• You have an actual folder of recipes clipped from magazines. 
• You make a very disgruntled face at the though of clubbing. People, sweat, dancing, please no.  

• You recycle (and not just getting rid of empty wine bottles).
• You apply Suncream everyday even though it’s rainy and you live in England. 
• You have looked dissaprovingly at girls wearing no tights in the middle of winter. You’ve probably said the phrase ‘put some clothes on you’re going to catch a cold’. 

  

• You either a) own a lot of knitwear or b) can actually knit. 
• DRIVING SHOES. You know what I mean. 
• You have to control when you drink tea, because woah caffeine at 6pm, someone’s not sleeping tonight. 
• You see kids that you swear were only in year 8 and now they’re 6th formers and you wonder where your life went. 
• You can’t deny it anymore. You get hangovers. 

   

• You are more interested in buying candles and things off of Etsy than shoes. 
• Your Instagram has a lot of inspirational quotes. A lot. 
• You own a lot of onesies. 

 

Love, Robyn.
