As an antidote to discussions about weight gain, thinning hair, decreasing mobility etc etc .....it may be fun to share what we consider to be our 'best bits'
I'd like to nominate my ears. They are small, neat, close to the skull and I've always been proud of them. smile
Any other nominations?

My eyelashes, long luxurient and dark(unlike the rest of my hair), so much so that I cannot use mascara on them and then put my glasses on as they act a bit like windscreen wipers on my glasses.

Notso yes your ears are very nice, I have been told in days long gone that I had nice blue eyes but you cant see them now for the wrinkles now grin

must have got my share diva I need a 10x magnification to find mine.

Notsogrand Wed 15-Jun-11 16:06:40

Diva I would love your eyelashes! I have grey ones in mine.

My legs - if you ignore the scars from my new knees!!

My ears and my nose seem to be least affected by aging and still look good! I might say my curvy figure, but it is dependent on a well-fitting bra and clothes which skim the odd bulges.

My breasts! A jolly fine pair, considering their age. When young, I did my utmost to hide them away [did not like wolf whistles!] 70 years on...I am what I am...and proud of it. smile

Mmmm. Finding it a bit hard to decide on any best bit; maybe my lovely new implanted tooth which was put in yesterday at vast expense. I do have quite a nice smile and I laugh a lot.

Notsogrand Wed 15-Jun-11 21:08:22

I love the fact that so many of us have at least one bit of us that we're proud of. Or in supernana's case, a pair!

If we could all post images of our best bits, I could photoshop together the perfect Gran. !!!!!

Grandmacool Thu 16-Jun-11 09:54:04

I try to laugh as much as possible, but I don`t look half as good as I did years ago. People say they love my personality... so I guess that counts.

I was always told my voice sounded lovely on the phone - pity the reality didn't match up !

I have been given lots of compliments over the years and still am. I've also been called a weirdo fairly often, which I also take as a compliment since it means I'm not a sheep.

lucid Thu 16-Jun-11 11:08:55

Oh notsogrand how lucky you are....if I tell you my nickname at primary school was 'Big Ears' you will realize why I think that! I have ears to rival Gary Linekar envy
My best bit is my bum....still looks good in jeans.

supernana Thu 16-Jun-11 13:03:56

If we take the best bits of each of us and make into a cocktail [shaken not stirred] we could call it a Gransbestbitsblitzzer...and serve with a wee umbrella [just for fun]...wink

pompa Thu 16-Jun-11 13:07:28

ROFL, Supernana, check how your post looks in the preview.

supernana Thu 16-Jun-11 13:25:42

pompa have I said something naughty? If so, please explain confused

supernana Thu 16-Jun-11 13:32:21

pompa I see what you mean...oh dear! blush

Sook Thu 16-Jun-11 13:57:04

I'm 57 and still got a shapely pair of legs.

em Thu 16-Jun-11 20:35:16

Supernana/pompa .....have looked again and stil 'don't get it'
Very proud of my boobs - better than when I rivalled Twiggy for skinny flat chest and really wanted a cleavage even when unfashionable.

crimson Thu 16-Jun-11 20:50:07

lucid; my nickname was 'wingnut'........[not at school but when I started work..guess the kids at school didn't know what a wingnut was].

Annobel Thu 16-Jun-11 21:48:47

My left ankle. the right one has been a bit swollen recently!

hannahj Thu 16-Jun-11 21:56:47

i've got nice feet. . .no bunions ,no corns,no hard skin,no misshapen toes just small neat feet. . ..just a shame about the rest of me

greenmossgiel Thu 16-Jun-11 22:04:51

I've been struggling to find a 'best bit', actually..or even a nice bit...though if I was to ask my partner, I know he would say 'all of me'! I've tried smiling at myself in the mirror and I looked ok , so I'm going to do more of that! grin grin grin
