You realise that you are getting old when you have to rummage to find your Best Bra in the drawer, you find it at the very back, and you realise that it's been quite a while since you last had an Occasion to wear your Best Bra.
And now that you do have a Best Bra Occasion, it's a routine mammogram in an NHS mobile unit in a car park.
I realised I was getting old when I got called for my first ever mammogram. My second one is on Fri 13th - just hoping that this time they don't have to call me back for an ultrasound! (It turned out to be layers of muscle compressed together in the initial scan).
I seem to remember we had a popular hymn back in those days that included the phrase, 'And in Heaven Felicity'.
We all (well I did) giggled and thought, 'I wish'.

Ouch! I realised I was getting old when I had to phone the breast screening service to make my own appointment as I’m beyond the catchment age. Now I just have to remember to call them again in 3 years time!

Keeping socks together, on the other hand ...
