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.

Great question, interesting to see the age range. I’m 73 nearly 74.

46. Grandma of three.
My poor Mum died last year at only 67.
My gran is a 93 yr old who looks like a supermodel and HER Mum died at 105.

I'm 65 in December. Young at heart but can't do in a day what I used to do. I dread getting old.

I am 85 and my ambition is to be the first person in my family to reach 90.

My sister died three days before her 90th birthday and I was so sad she did not make it to that milestone age.

60 and feel very lucky to be retired (though this month I am dealing with my father's will, visiting my elderly aunt and my poorly niece, volunteering for a local charity, babysitting the GC and cycling whenever I can so sometimes feel busier than when I was working!)

68 on the outside but still 30 in my head ?

Fran3669 Mon 11-Nov-19 22:49:03

50. My username gives it away a little!

65yo here. I got my first free flu jab when I was 65yrs and 10 days old. grin

I find it a bit disconcerting when filling in online forms that I've now moved into the 65+ age group. ?

Only osteo-arthritis and some weight gain makes me feel as though I'm not still in my 40's.

61 with a left knee that feels the same. Rest if me around 35, with a brain aged 27. Still working full time in a demanding job with voluntary work alongside. My mother is almost 84 and still works 2 mornings a week and still volunteers.

dragonfly46 Mon 11-Nov-19 22:26:22

73 but still feel 50!

oldgaijin Mon 11-Nov-19 22:25:15

74 and two weeks, going on 34 and two weeks!

NanKate Mon 11-Nov-19 22:21:32

I’m 2 days younger than Felicity Kendal at 73 - you can’t tell us apart ?

Trollygirl Mon 11-Nov-19 22:20:38

This must be the fastest growing thread ever, well done for getting us all involved.

Lindaylou55 Mon 11-Nov-19 21:35:35

63 for 3 more days. Weirdly turning 64 is really bothering me, I think it has to do with the Beatles, well that's who I am blaming!
