I got carded
yet again whilst attempting to buy alcohol. The problem is, I don't have any current ID in the correct gender because I've only just received the relevant paperwork from my GIC, despite chasing them for it for about a year.
On the one hand, it's nice that I'm being challenged on whether I'm over 25 when I'm actually in my mid-40s. But on the other hand, it really brings home to me that if I want to go on any dates, I need to get some ID sorted... because if I get carded when I try to buy wine at the supermarket, you can bet that a bouncer will give me a hard time if I try to get into a nightclub.
The best bit? Last week my daughter rather nastily told me that I look older than her Dad, who is slightly older than I am. But he hasn't been carded for about 20 years now... and I get carded all the time!
