Not sure you have to wear old people cloths, you can still have your own style and accept your getting old, if you want to accept it that is, I still feel like I’m 18 I’m my head lol |

Never, the key is to die young as late as possible....
Maybe when you hit your late 60’s but certainly not looking as you do  |

"I can’t wait to be old enough to get a purple rinse on my hair
I've got one now. Why wait? "
It’s so I’ve got something to look forward to, along with the varicose veins and wrinkles  |

Can’t speak for anyone else but I’ll be 46 next month and I stopped colouring my hair 18 months ago. I have grey streaks that are almost white in colour and I love them.
As for the rest? Whenever! |

There and to the left a bit |
Accept you’re getting old - did that already years ago
Let the grey hairs flourish - and this
Wear old people’s clothes - slacks and fur lined ankle boots - will never happen
Join the W.I. - nor will this 
Knit - can't see me ever having the patience
Get an allotment - is this an "old" person thing? |

I know people in their 20s/30s that do all or some of these things already.
I’ve accepted that from next year some people will call me old based on a number and not by my ability. I’m not ready to drag out the knitting needles, tabard on, dye my hair and pull on fluffy slipper shoes just yet |

Hair not a problem shave mine but many look distinguished proudly showing their grey colour.
I've been into fashion and designer clothes all my life that will never change.
Can't stand gardening or anything to do with it so getting a allotment, not an option.
I embrace getting older people don't look my age it's in my Genes so grateful for that.
The only downside is a few health niggles but medication is my friend.
My mind is still sharp that's ultimately what matters to me. |

I've said to my kids, I'm going to keep on breathing 'til I'm in my 500s, just to piss people off.... I did also say im going to force incontinence upon myself, just to get my own back for the endless nappy changes.... Right up there with I'm going to sit on their sofas, with my filthy trainers on and throw sweet wrappers on the floor in their houses.... Play my banging music full blast and hog their internet connection beating up people on online games..... |

I actually dunno what to do about my grey hair. My hair is so dark naturally that you can spot them a mile off. They aren’t even grey they’re white.
Could have a colour and within 2 weeks all along my hairline and down my parting starts going white again.
My hairdresser said it’s time to start having full heads of foils now to try and go lighter so they’re not as noticeable.
I’m not 40 yet so not ready to accept being older! |

"When it takes you at least 5 attempts of saying the wrong name for someone until you get it right "
When you say such things as
"Oh you'll never guess what Joan told me on Monday, or was it Wednesday, no no I think it was Tuesday, hmm I'm not sure now"
Who cares! Just fkn tell me what Joan said! |

 you just described a conversation with my mother usually accompanied by a description of what she did on each of the days.
"No it couldn't have been Monday because that's when I paid the milkman. Hmm it could have been Tuesday I had toast for breakfast"
Sometimes I just want to scream
"Just damn well tell me"

"Maybe when your 100
I'm growing old disgracefully and can you Imagine the stories I'll tell in the old folks home  "
LOL.
If I told my stories in the old folks home I'd do more damage than Covid.
Heart attacks all round. |

Yes haha
It was my Grandma who did this.
When she couldn't get our names right and rolled off a huge list she even included the dog's name, bless her.

I accepted I’d never have a thick, full head of hair again about three years ago.
I see lots of profiles on here with women saying “no baldies or shaved heads”, but quite frankly...I’m happy if you judge my personality, attractiveness and sexual abilities on how long my hair is...you’re obviously not my type of person...natural selection |

Well I will simply carry on with my life for as long as I can till I keep over and die.
I used to go to parties and there was an old buy in his 90s still going strong. The women loved him. |

Mark has a little tint of grey starting to appear in his hair...slightly more in his beard, but I love!
Let it go guys, it adds a little bit of maturity to you |

I can’t knit, I think it’s something that I will automatically know how to do when I reach old age  |

"I love my grey bits...who doesn't like a silver fox
Mr KC has been going more grey recently (started with a grey stripe at 14!). He looks very yummy "
I bet.
More George Clooney than Phillip Schofield? |

I refuse to grow old, even though my body is telling me different.
I just pony hopped into the kitchen to get a chocolate cupcake and my daughter said act your age dad.
No I refuse to act it. |

"Old is gold, accept your age and be happy I don’t thing young people judge all people by the way they look it’s more by the way the act "
They don't judge ... just filter
I had a few great nights out ith my best buddy whilst old (50 plus) enjoying Charlotte de Witte at Gorilla, in Salfords White Hotel, seeing out Sankeys with Graeme Park and Jon Dasilva and each night had great interaction with the young natives ... friends and family opined "too old" but I reckon its just jealousy ?? |

I'm going through this dilemma at the moment. Every morning I wake up and can hardly believe I'm 38 and not 28 anymore.
I'm just going to roll with it. I'm not a fan of the greys (my beard is going grey too now) but I can't see myself dying anything.
Time is weird and I don't like it. I think 40 is going to be a bitter pill for me to swallow. |

I must admit, I've started to walk past Clarks's and think 'oooh they look comfy'
I'll start worrying when it happens as I walk past Pavers or see a commemorative plate I like the look of in a Sunday supplement |
