you know you're old when...

...on your birthday, your husband goes to buy a rose for every year, and the huge, well-stocked flower section of the garden centre doesn't have enough of the gorgeous peach variety he has chosen. So on the day I was a few roses short of a full birthday bunch. It makes me wonder if perhaps it's time to start knocking off the years like Joan Collins and other 'celebrities'? (I think not. The teenagers would soon put everyone straight, and probably add a couple of extra years for good luck.)
