I saw a post similar to this one on Facebook the other day, but as the writer’s ideas were very different to mine I decided to write one myself.

Spending Saturday night relaxing in front of the TV is such a great feeling.

ISAs and savings rates are actually of interest to you.

When you buy a bottle of wine, the choice isn’t purely based on the price.

You are relieved rather than annoyed when you get a doctor’s appointment.

You find yourself pottering around the house on a Sunday afternoon.

You make a list for your food shopping and actually (mostly) stick to it.

You take your ‘bag for life’ out shopping with you so that you don’t have to waste or pay for carrier bags.

You have at least one houseplant that has lived for more than 6 months.

Dinner is occasionally eaten at the dining room table rather than on your knee in front of the television.

You find yourself saying or doing things that your parents say and do.

You own a tool box that actually has tools in it. And you know where to find it!

Every so often you have cake for breakfast, just because you can.

Birthday parties are used to distract yourself from the fact that you are a year older rather than a celebration of the fact.

You actually like receiving gift vouchers as presents instead of regarding them as a last-minute thoughtless gift.

You may be looking older with lines around your eyes and the occasional grey hair, but you still feel like you’re acting at being a grown up.
