The Profile Substitute Thread

You`re upright here!

Am I sideways again? Why does that keep happening

OK I admit that was Basil the granddog with the Stella Creasy rosette!!

Anyone else been flicking back and forth through the photo's when reading threads and then putting names to faces?

It is a lovely coat roses, my daughter has much better taste than me and is willing to spend more too - lucky me!!

This is me as photographed by DGS1, age 4!
I am a 53 year old Essex Girl and live in Colchester.
2DDs, 1DS and 2DGS. Married DH on my 20th Birthday!

Grannyactivist, I want that coat!

Printmiss hasn`t posted on this thread yet, she`s in her 80s.

Henetha - I think I said earlier that I'm the oldest up to now - 80 next year! I can hardly believe it.

Cheers. annesixty.l You are only a few weeks older than me, - we are almost twins! I've read through carefully and can't find anyone else admitting to being older than us!
I will post a photo when I can figure out how to do it. I'm still a hands on grandmother, my youngest being 13, and am always busy.

Love the trousers, petallus.

I see Merlotgran has dumped her dog in favour of the wine. She's got her priorities right now.

petallus that is just how I imagined you looking. (I think I must have some sort of sixth sense! )

This is for janer

I live in East Anglia near Cambridge, have one son and two daughters and seven DGCs. Married for 47 years and we're nearing completion of our Grand Design/Amazing Space aka the Granny Pad!

I spend most of my free time gardening, looking after our animals or reading and listening to music when the weather's c**p.

Scottish but long exiled and now in Cheshire village which has grown up to become a small town. Two sons, two granddaughters and three grandsons. Was a teacher for many years, latterly in adult and further ed. Next month I will be eligible for my free TV licence.

Oops - forgot to say...
I live in a delightful Devonshire seaside town, but was born in Manchester. Married to the Wonderful Man for 29 years; three daughters, two sons and six grandchildren (three of each).
If I had to choose between chocolate cake and flowers the flowers would always win!

This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago to show my daughter how well the coat she bought me for my birthday suits me. Not brilliant quality as it was taken on my iPad.
It's lovely seeing the photo's, but I expect I shall forget what you all look like quite quickly and only really remember those of you I've actually met - I do find it harder to remember faces than I used to.

Oh thank you Lona. It's actually a bit more yellowy that it looks in pic.

Ooh petallus I love your hair, I can't wait for mine to go snow white like yours! Baby is gorgeous too!

I'm 72, live in Hertfordshire, married 48 years, two daughters, four grandchildren, two great grandchildren (latest one in pic).

Nelliemoser - our gandchildren loved it too. We let them try driving it, with one of us sitting beside them, but they found it hard to reach and put pressure on the pedals.
When we sold it they tried the siton mower but we had to stop them as they were wrecking the motor! Revving up all the time.
Wish they were here now, but they're far away in Kuwait.

nonnasusie That's a lovely happy photo and he's a big boy for 2 weeks old!

TriciaF A tractor driving granny, That would really make my DGSs look up to me. Can I borrow it?

PS - bags was the one I found puzzling - has she no idea how she is meant to look in my mind!?.....short and plump with short dark hair.
