Would it be considered rude of me to ask how old we are? I’m surprised for example to read if a poster is a great grandmother or is ‘going out to work now’.

I’m 65y.
?

I`m officially 59.
On the inside 21.

I g gg ad my 74th birthday last May but just old enough in my head to feel 30 !! it’s time to enjoy myself and throw caution to the winds. That is if my replaced hips and knees let me!!!

I'm 63, but in my head still think I am in my thirties! However one look at my face in the mirror with my reading glasses on soon puts me straight! Have been told that I don't look my age, but that's probably due to being petite and no grey hair as I have dyed it since I was in my 40s!

moggiek Mon 11-Nov-19 13:26:56

60 - with a mental age of around 13. Still don't know what I want to be when I grow up ....

66 last month. Met an 80 year old lady Saturday night when we went to the pub to watch some live music. She offered her seat as she said she would be up dancing. She was - the band played from 9 - 12 with a slight break and she danced to every one of their numbers! Added to that, she has 2 young grandsons who live with her. I told her I wish I had some of her energy. Hope I can be like her at that age.

64 - I keep singing the Beatles song ‘when I’m 64’ oh dear. I married quite young and had my children whilst I was young - but they in turn all waited ages to have their own children, which makes my grandchildren very young indeed (and how I hope I will have some more yet).

I think I'm the baby of the group at 39, I'm disabled and have painful joints ( osteoporosis, fibromyalgia and ME) I feel about 100. I'm not a gran but have two dd’s 8 and 5, pregnant with number 3.
I prefer Gransnet to Mumsnet and look forward to my morning email as it brightens my day.

Thank you all. Xx

This is my first post. I’m 48 and still don’t feel like a grown up yet. I have 2 children of my own, 2 step children and a grandchild.

Remac Mon 11-Nov-19 13:10:21

I'm 70.
My children are 44 and 42.
But I'm still younger than them.
I still embrace them.
I look after 6 grandchildren. 2yrs - 10yrs.
I still can't go out without my mascara.
BUT
I do not like people lying.
I do not like electronic games.
Never had them. Don't want them
Grandchildren are not even allowed to tak about them in my house.
Home cooked meals everyday.
I'm involved with lots and lots of things.
NOW......
WHAT WAS THE QUESTION.

Lupatria Mon 11-Nov-19 13:09:57
