Is this what we really look like? ;)

Haha no way have I ever or will ever look like that

Damn this top is too big

NotTooOld

She's just bought that dress at M and S and is regretting it and now she's thinking 'What a pain, I'll have to take it back.'

I wonder if she looks that miserable because she hasn't discovered GN or whether she is a (very old and depressed) GNetter who keeps getting attacked on the politics forum.

Rotten cactus on the shelf, could have had a pretty plant

Mmmmno

She looks like my mum whose a great gran.

I have got 13years to go urgh?

I’ve got to have, Chewbacca, or I think I’d go mad! 6 years is more than enough to miss out on.

Actually Maggie, no I dont! I usually stagger in and slump in a chair, still with my coat on, and don't speak to anyone for at least half an hour. And I've given up wondering what life will be life when I finally reach retirement age because it's been moved back, in 18 month increments, 3 times now and I'm not optimistic that it won't be moved back again. Do you still have any optimism that you'll ever get to state retirement age?

Ah, Chewbacca, and do you gaze wistfully out of the window like that, imagining what life will be like when you finally get your pension (I know I do!)? 3 years for me. [big sigh emoticon]

Perhaps I should recommend Clarins moisturiser to her. Other makes are available and probably just as good.

Looks like me when I drag myself in from work at the end of a long week. only another 2 years to go. Providing they don't move the goal posts again

GNHQ have listened to our concerns. This photo's on the Facebook page now. The caption is "I will probably be working till I drop dead", so she must be under pension age. Perhaps she's had a hard life.

Yep I'll agree about the nails -red? At a wedding? She's wearing pink.
And the neck, just like mine. Lovely

The comments on here have made me ( in a good way)

sorry Lucy

ps and the FOTB seems to be having a bit too much fun with the bridesmaids

I don't think the MOTB looks great - hair is not good, that thing on the side of her head is too twee, wrong colour and that pale pink is too insipid.
Oh - and her fingernails are too red

Now I will go away and hide from the brickbats.

To be fair, I think only the MOTB, in the picture, and her DH (presumably) are meant to be the oldies.

So the rest of you who are in the picture with them are quite unusual.
Had you not realised?

Well I did look like the MOTB when DD married but I was only 46 when she tied the knot.

The man in the picture looks a tad old for the likes of us young grannies don't you think?

As you can see, I definitely don't have any bingo wings, thread veins, gnarled knuckles or age spots on my beautifully toned and tanned arms. As is the case, naturally.

Actually my two chins aren't nearly as scrawny!
