Never ask a lady how old she is.

Very light heartedly

70 (obviously), however inside I feel around 25! Sometimes my brain tells me to do something but my body says "do it and die old woman!". grin

Whenever I go on holiday with my "old" school friend we feel like a pair of teenagers again!

Printmiss was one of our older members, still miss her, hope she is alright.
Yes callgirl, well done, Printmiss - and Bijou was another older member I think.

61 in July, I feel the same in my head and my attitudes as I did in my 30s. Unfortunately after one of my thrice weekly gym sessions my body now feels kn*****ed!!!!! We only have one life, and I intend to live it as fully as possible.

I am 74 and will be 75 on 31 August. I was the youngest girl in the school when I went to my Grammar School and in the same form was a girl whose birthday was 1 September - a year older than me.

Gaga, DD2's friend has a birthday on 5th September and her brother on 25th August, 1 year later. shock

Teetering on the brink of 67 ( but on good days feel no older than 65!) grin

Bathsheba Sat 07-Apr-18 16:29:23

I'll be 68 in August. I don't have a problem with admitting to my age. I just have a problem with being that age grin

DanniRae Sat 07-Apr-18 16:42:09

I am 69 - 70 in July!!

shandi6570 Sat 07-Apr-18 16:44:47

Me too bathsheba. I already have two friends with the same birth date, but not the same year. Mine is the 3rd, are we twin birthday girls? ?

My DM always used to say "I'm as old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth". She never told her age, I think because she was worried we might work out that her DM was only 16 when she had her.
I will be 65 next November and I am really looking forward to claiming my state pension and bus pass.

PamelaJ1 Sat 07-Apr-18 20:10:29

Old woman- why is your age obvious? I was given a personalised number plate when I was 50. Now I’m 64!
You may have been Oldwoman70 for years?

TerriBull Sat 07-Apr-18 20:37:49

Another 64 year old, and more the right side I might add grin. Yes, also sorry we haven't head the calm and gentle voice of PRINTMISS for quite a while, I like to think she'll come back and surprise us one day.

TerriBull Sat 07-Apr-18 20:38:22

*heard

emmasnan Sat 07-Apr-18 23:32:08

I'm 62 next week. Most days I feel younger but I think I definitely look my age!

pensionpat Sun 08-Apr-18 00:08:24

Paddyann. I have often said that.

JaneD3 Sun 08-Apr-18 02:29:41

I will be 62 in May and I am one of those who won’t get my pension at 65!

Menopaws Sun 08-Apr-18 02:43:52

Got a letter yesterday saying I get my pension aged 66 and ten months

NotAGran55 Sun 08-Apr-18 07:14:28

I'm 62 and can't wait until in 64 ! My mum and her mum both died age 63 .....

BlueBelle Sun 08-Apr-18 07:27:43
