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.

When I had a bone density scan a few years ago one of my ankles was 17 and the other 21.
In truth I am 73 - a few years older than both my knees.

68 and like quite a few others I’m still not sure what I want to be when I grow up. (Actually, I retired last Christmas Eve and am loving the freedom and not having to get up at 6.30 on cold, dark mornings)

Twopence and Dorsetcupcake61, we share a birthday (and I know there is at least one other on GN, but I won't out her)! I will be 68 tomorrow, assuming I make it that far. Hope you both have a good day doing whatever you enjoy. flowers wine

Retired from my one remaining seasonal job this year with some mixed feelings.

60. Wishing I was 66 !

63. Still working full time. Have a knee replacement, a gold tooth, and a plastic lens in one eye. OTOH also have long hair which is definitely all my own - though the colour owes something to Mr L'Oréal.

There are 8 pages of this and I can't read them all, but never mind I've discovered that Shelagh6 is two years older than me.
And I've got a new boyfriend! He's 83.

There seem to be many of us in our early 70s
I am 73, but my Brain Training told me yesterday that my brain age is 50. I used to be able to achieve 20 but haven't tried for a while. Must work on it. Unfortunately my body stays the same, but despite RA I am quite fit and well.

69 going on 17.

76, with mobility problems, but since my fall on Saturday I feel 96.

Hi Urmstongran, I feel in my late teens/ early twenties but unfortunately am late 60's.
Ps: I live near Urmston too.

There are a few on here who are older than me. I was 80 last July. However, I found out today that I am the next-to-oldest member at my gym. I'm very grateful to be fit and healthy, at my age, and not on any medication.
It's sad to read that so many Gransnet members, especially the younger ones, have health and/or mobility problems. Some flowers for you all [flowers ]I certainly count my blessings.

GreenGran78 Mon 11-Nov-19 16:28:36

Oops! What happened to my flowers?

aonk Mon 11-Nov-19 16:31:11

I’m 68 so definitely won’t be reversing the figures!

Paperbackwriter Mon 11-Nov-19 16:41:27

69, going on 20.

MrsH21 Mon 11-Nov-19 16:41:30

Body 80 Head 20 something. Maybe it's time to grow old disgracefully.

nipsmum Mon 11-Nov-19 16:42:53

I'm 78. I worked until I was 68 and then did some voluntary work for WRVS until I was 74. Now my 2 Westie keep me active not to mention 4 grandchildren.

HannahLoisLuke Mon 11-Nov-19 16:44:36

Scentia Mon 11-Nov-19 16:49:26

I am a mere baby at 52.

I'm 47. My body feels older and most days my brain doesn't work too well either.....
I'm mildly physically disabled and that black dog is a bastard ?......
