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 67 but my birthday is coming in December.

I don't want to reverse my numbers. ?

I don't quite know yet how I am going to celebrate my (probably) brief moment of glory.
Buy new elastic stockings?
Order in more tena ladies?
Stay up until 9pm?
Or have a few cocktails tonight.
Answers on a postcard please.

I'm 64, but about 15 in my head!

I have got most people's ages wrong.
I thought our more senior grans were much younger! grin.

Annsixty, does being the eldest , make you the Queen Gran?
I shall bow, every time I read one of your posts. grin

63, the age my father was when he died, which is a sobering thought, when I still shop at Topshop. Still working full time, DH has a new job on 2 days a week which seems about right to me.

Urmstongran Mon 11-Nov-19 10:09:02

Actually who is our baby?

CassieJ so far! ?

NannyJan53 Mon 11-Nov-19 10:08:01

I am 66 and retired just over 2 years ago. I cannot reverse my numbers Pantglas smile

kittylester Mon 11-Nov-19 10:07:55

Well, I'm 70, I know because we had a party with a cake, but I have no idea how that happened!

grannylyn65 Mon 11-Nov-19 10:07:40

70

Urmstongran Mon 11-Nov-19 10:07:06

So far you wear the crown annsixty. ?
Bet someone swipes it off you by the sound of it! Enjoy your most senior moment ...

henetha Mon 11-Nov-19 10:04:18

annsixty... My birthday is late September, so that makes you older than me..... So I'm not quite the oldest on here!

Urmstongran I think there are a couple of posters who may be senior, senior as you put itsmile

Printmiss and Bijou

annsixty Mon 11-Nov-19 10:02:29

There are certainly older members than us.
I won't "out them".

Pantglas2 Mon 11-Nov-19 09:57:48

My birth certificate says 63 but I find reversing the figures just perks me up somehow.....grin

merlotgran Mon 11-Nov-19 09:57:42

72 not out!

Urmstongran Mon 11-Nov-19 09:54:39

X posts annsixty (so you’re not!) and henetha - two octogenarians. It will be very interesting to see if you are pipped to the post.
?

I wonder who might be our senior senior on here?

annsixty Mon 11-Nov-19 09:53:14

Henetha my b'day was July 12th, which of us is the elder?

Greyduster Mon 11-Nov-19 09:51:35

Sunseeker ?
a very new 73 but I don’t feel it in my head! My back and my hips have other ideas!!

Urmstongran Mon 11-Nov-19 09:51:18

You’ve debunked one of my assumptions Hetty - I did wonder if the ‘58’ might be the year of birth. Maybe with some posters eh?

fizzers Mon 11-Nov-19 09:50:49

63, mental age of 12

henetha Mon 11-Nov-19 09:50:35

I'm quite pleased to have made it to 82. Is there anyone older than me on GN?

annsixty Mon 11-Nov-19 09:50:12

82 and hopefully still counting.

CassieJ Mon 11-Nov-19 09:50:12

I'm 61 in two week. Still working full time because I have no choice.

Hetty58 Mon 11-Nov-19 09:48:09

65 here and newly retired - but my 76 year old neighbour still goes to work!

sunseeker Mon 11-Nov-19 09:47:56

Saw something about age on the internet:

I'm at that age where my mind thinks I am still 29
My humour suggests I'm 12
While my body keeps asking if I am sure I am not dead yet!

(I'm 70 by the way!)

Charleygirl5 Mon 11-Nov-19 09:41:44

My brain says 29 but I believe I am 76. That must be true because I know of nobody who has bilateral knee replacements at 29.
