Does anybody have a mental picture of other posters? I imagine elegran to be small, slim, and modernly dressed.
I see Anniebach as a bigger lady with fair hair and glasses.

What do you think, and how right are you?

( You can tell I’m bored!)

I used to be mistaken for Sandie Shaw now I am told I look like Brenda Blethin (hopefully not the vera version) and I'm hoping I've aged better than Sandie Shaw has. I have far fewer wrinkles - possibly because I have more fat plumping them out! grin

If anyone is remotely interested I have posted a photograph of my H and me in his care home on Christmas day.
He has been in there for five weeks now after 6 years of dementia and a recent stroke.
Our combined age is 163 so don't expect too much.

I might possibly post a photo if I knew how to do it......on the other hand, I might not! I'm nothing to write home about.
5'5 ish (I used to be taller), grey hair, not thin but not fat.

Sounds like me Luckygirl,except that the front of my hair is a mixture of sun-bleached and grey but the rest is mousey and flyaway which I have in a top-knot.
Skin about the same----mine's a throwback from my ancestors, European.

Oh - and gasses........hmm, that was a mis-type, but could apply after the Christmas pudding - glasses!

In fact you have a look of my youngest daughter who has just turned 55 and was recently told that her features were Irish, pale complexion and fair to blonde hair.

Luckygirl Sat 29-Dec-18 10:29:16

5'7", medium build, long dark brown hair (no grey!!! - but wispy and fluffy and hopeless), olive skin - well a sort of browny yellow really.

harri?!

Lynne59 when I said " homely " I didn't mean " fat and frumpy " at all. More relaxed homely and natural ( without any airs and graces ) person.
I don't possess a mobile phone and I have no pics to transfer from this laptop, sadly.

My looks are rather regal ..... I resemble a sack of King Edwards.

Alright, so I lied. This is the real me, 6 months ago at my 75th birthday meal.

paddy I read that as the next door neighbour broke your crown. My imagination ran wild: "Huh?! Kissing? A punch?" ?

paddyann Fri 28-Dec-18 22:07:54

5 foot 3 ,size 8 ,longish dark blonde hair with lighter streaks ,just below shoulder length.Broken front crown....the next door neighbour of the one I broke in the summer.Hoping it stays put until after the New Year .

as I said back in the thread, the orange and black is amazing.

Lynne59 Fri 28-Dec-18 21:46:48

oldbatty...how kind of you to say so

oldbatty Fri 28-Dec-18 21:43:18

Lynne, you look bloody amazing

Lynne59 Fri 28-Dec-18 21:42:23

EllanVannin..."homely"? I think that means fat and frumpy, but that's ok. I have been called worse. Let's see what you look like then?

BBbevan Fri 28-Dec-18 20:54:53

I don't know why but MawBroon reminds me of warm , buttery teacakes !!!! The name I mean, not the photograph .

BBbevan Fri 28-Dec-18 20:52:37

Thank youjane

Urmstongran Fri 28-Dec-18 20:51:22

MawBroon you are SO much more glamorous than I imagined! I think your name put me in mind of a dumpy sort of woman, no makeup and a little fierce! Absolutely not so! You look lovely.

Marydoll Fri 28-Dec-18 20:45:27

I look exactly like my namesake, Marydoll Nesbitt.
Mr MD is a fine figure of a man, don't you think?

Doodle Fri 28-Dec-18 20:45:21

maw you look so nice. I love your hair and your snazzy glasses.
I look like a cross between a spaniel, Clement Freud, and a basset hound. Long face, long hair, big nose and baggy eyes. Most attractive when viewed from the back tchgrin

MawBroon Fri 28-Dec-18 20:09:57

I’m not bothered!

janeainsworth Fri 28-Dec-18 19:41:48

I don’t think your name sounds severe, BB.
I imagine you as homely & pleasant. smile
