As we can’t see each other ...

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.

All the sevens 77 ( just!). Retired at 67 but had ill health since 2005.. family worry about me but I have decided I want to make it beyond 80 at least. MIL is almost 104 but can’t see or hear properly - ah, the ‘joys’ of old age...

66 and still working 2 days a week because I want to but also if I change my mind in a few years don’t know how I’ll manage without the extra money! The SE is expensive! Some days I feel 90 but mostly between 35 and 50

77 is my age, and like some others, I am feeling every one of them at the moment.

Annsixty, does being the eldest , make you the Queen Gran?
I shall bow, every time I read one of your posts.
Marydoll; I'm not a cynic, BUT....if a lady tells me her age, experience tells me that she has shaved at least 10 off her true age! grin
Btw; As I've said before I'm 92½ shock
Beat that! Does that make me King Gran(Dad)? If so, I give you permission to drop me a few respectful curtsies from time to time, provided you don't lose your balance of course! hmm

Well, if you can do sums you can tell from my user name that I'm 64, at least until mid January.

Sara65 Mon 11-Nov-19 11:26:26

71 here I’m feeling it at the moment.

When I first get up in the morning, I'm definitely 107.

After a cup of decaf coffee and a slice of Paleo toast I lose a few years and by 7am, after taking my vitamins, I'm almost young enough to go for a shower.

Once I've had my shower, dressed and quaffed another cup of coffee I'm 72.8 and I stay that age until the next day.

Then I'm 107 again......grin

I'm 65. I retired ten yrs ago from my p/t job to help with child care and am very lucky to be born at the beginning of 1954 so I just scraped in on claiming my pension this year.

I'm 70 next birthday I retired 2 yrs ago and miss it so much I wanted to carry on but Company closed down.
Lets hope maybe 70 can be the new 40 as I certainly do not feel that old.

Urmstongran Mon 11-Nov-19 10:28:24

Ooh ‘hi there’ Bestgranny
?

Lovely to have you join us!

Bestgranny Mon 11-Nov-19 10:26:58

My first post on Gransnet, hope you lovely ladies will help me along the way.
I suppose it’s the perfect thread to reveal my age .
This time next month I will be in Los Angeles with my dd
And I will be celebrating my 77 birthday ?

Pantglas2 Mon 11-Nov-19 10:24:51

Urmstongran Mon 11-Nov-19 10:24:49

Ah, I remember that Beechnut from the August GM thread! A fellow virgoan.

emmasnan Mon 11-Nov-19 10:22:26

I'm 63. Still working part time from home because I enjoy the job and the extra spending money.

Beechnut Mon 11-Nov-19 10:16:35

I’m a day older than you Urmston

annsixty Mon 11-Nov-19 10:14:03

My mother made 101 and 8 months with her mind as sharp as a knife, but very awkward with it.(

Urmstongran Mon 11-Nov-19 10:13:58

I like the thought of our ‘QueenGran’ Marydoll

Being WASPI’s certainly hasn’t helped has it? ?
