Suggested by jings of jangly fame. If you want to take part, post your age and what region of the country (or which country!) you live in.

I'm still 59 until next month and I live in Argyll, Scotland.

Gorgeous little GD too. smile

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 10-Oct-15 19:28:33

Ana! I've only just seen yours. Yep! That looks about right. Just how I imagined you.

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 10-Oct-15 19:20:37

Someone is chasing up Tech. Apparently.

I still think it had something to do with the hacker. But I'm probably totally wrong.

Luckygirl Sat 10-Oct-15 19:20:22

Here she is!

shysal Sat 10-Oct-15 17:51:09

kittylester Sat 10-Oct-15 17:37:10

Your hair looks great shysal and you are so different from how I imagined! Though having now seen you I can't remember what I thought you looked like! confused

Lona Sat 10-Oct-15 17:29:31

A so many of you are being brave, I will join you with a selfie! Just had my hair cut, I grow it for 4 months, to shoulder length, then have 2 inches taken off by DD1.

kittylester Sat 10-Oct-15 16:47:06

I wouldn't bother with slap then Kate. smile I on the other hand wouldn't dare show my face to anyone without slap - except DH and it's mostly his fault that it looks the way it does!grin

Katek Sat 10-Oct-15 16:42:21

This is me in natural state (state is right!) with no slap.

shysal Sat 10-Oct-15 16:37:46

Welcome Antjexix, hope you enjoy GN. You are a young spring chicken roastchicken! I was 56 when I became a grandmother for the first time, then, like buses, 5 more came along in quick succession.

Thanks Greenfinch.

NotTooOld Sat 10-Oct-15 15:56:31

Oh, blimey. I look scarier than jings.

NotTooOld Sat 10-Oct-15 15:56:00

jing! I was just thinking that a pic of you would be good. You look lovely - maybe a bit scary. Are you scary?

This is a selfie of me. Well, I hope it will appear but I've never done this before.

Greenfinch Sat 10-Oct-15 15:47:35

Not a bit how I imagined you jbf. You look very nice !

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 10-Oct-15 15:45:33

We took these just now. DD sorted hair out. Who knew it was so easy to achieve the electrocuted look.

Greenfinch Sat 10-Oct-15 15:44:26

Lovely margus

Me with my boys nearly 30 years ago (check out my 1980s perm!) and my boys as they are now

NanKate Sat 10-Oct-15 15:15:57

Jing you could buy yourself from Boots or Superdrug a backcombing brush, since I did that I no longer have flat bits of hair - hurray.

Lona Sat 10-Oct-15 14:10:07

Yes, go on jings smile
