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.

Objection! Discrimination rears it's head yet again on GN sad
I'm determined to be the oldest, even if it kills me! Only 7½ years to my telegram from the King! grin

I am 56. Dyscalculia means I can’t always remember, exactly. June 1963 anyway ! Still a punk at heart and I like changing my hair colour. Pink right now ?

I am 87 and just fine! A lot of you are the age of my daughters!
Good genes or something else. I had a heart attach when I was 59 and here I am still! 88 next year, I hope!

I'm 71 and until May 2018 felt much younger. One Saturday morning...I took a nose dive out of the bath and fractured my knee. My husband had gone out for the day, and I had to yell for my sleeping 26yo son to help. Yikes......baptism of fire for him lol

helenmabr Mon 11-Nov-19 12:25:02

66 next week

Pearlsaminger Mon 11-Nov-19 12:24:56

53.... but I’ve been 39 since I WAS 39. It’s a long time joke with everyone who knows me now.

Even told my GP I was 39 when he asked at one appointment - and was brought down to Earth with a bump when he looked at my file and said ‘Actually, you are 52!’

Spoilsport!! grin

Kartush Mon 11-Nov-19 12:21:36

Wear it with pride ?

EllanVannin Mon 11-Nov-19 11:59:40

40-----according to an online test. smile I'm 79.

Sussexborn Mon 11-Nov-19 11:59:07

I am 68! My OH will be 70 in two days! It suddenly dawned on him a few days ago and he was genuinely shocked!

My Mum was 29 for years and none of us questioned it.

Her Grandma lived to be 99 and, according to my Granny Mac, still rode a bike and could thread a needle!

Two of my lunch friends are in their 90s and enjoying life to the full. One puts the rest of us to shame with her yoga and keep fit sessions.

I`m 83, thought I was going to be the eldest here, till I see Rufus 2... that`s good, I didn`t want to be the eldest.

ginny Mon 11-Nov-19 11:55:29

I vary between 30 and 80 depending on what I have been doing, going to do and what the weather is like. Officially 64 .
