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.
?

I'm 71 but sometimes I think I'm 35 and at others I feel much older than I am.

grabba Mon 11-Nov-19 20:42:53

not revealing my age but will reveal I am passed the old retirement age and only working full time still as I can't get my state pension

blondenana Mon 11-Nov-19 20:27:53

I'm 76 I believe, but sure my mother got my birth year wrong, I think I am 21 really grin or maybe just in heart

NannyG123 Mon 11-Nov-19 20:24:25

I'm 64, and full of energy

71 but felt older than that before I had both hips replaced. Still work three days a week.

BlueSapphire Mon 11-Nov-19 19:38:26

74, but I'm sure there's been some mistake on my birth certificate, as I'm really 24...

I work with a granny who is 38. Should I suggest she joins us?

My 12 yr old dear granddaughter commented to my daughter, Nana is like a child really isn’t she !

Yeah, I’m 68 going on 10 !

63 and waspi. My youthful looking 65 year old husband is often asked for ID. I bought an over 60 ferry ticket on my birthday and was very disappointed not to be asked for proof. Not a problem now however as they have changed it to 65 plus!
I’m young at heart, mainly thanks to being an infant teacher for nearly 40 years and now doing nanny child care once or twice a week, but knee and hand arthritis are stopping me dancing the night away with afore mentioned dancing boy!

72 but still 21 in my head and I wish my body.

Sunflower54 Mon 11-Nov-19 19:17:40

65 and still working.... Three days in paid employment and two 'granny' days.
Love it!

Grannycool52 Mon 11-Nov-19 19:13:33

I am 67.
Love being retired ☺️.

To Lizbethann55 it's 13th January, so we're both Capricorns.

Keeper1 Mon 11-Nov-19 19:08:31

63 but that cannot possibly be correct

kathsue Mon 11-Nov-19 19:04:31

I'm 69. Bringing up my grandson keeps me feeling young in mind if not in body.

Nanniejc1 Mon 11-Nov-19 18:43:47

I’m 67 but don’t feel any different from when I was 57 apart from a few more aches & pains.

mumagain Mon 11-Nov-19 18:21:26

61 and working 4 days a week

Patricia59 Mon 11-Nov-19 18:19:16

62

Quizzer Mon 11-Nov-19 18:02:15

Brain says 21.
Body says 71

Katyj Mon 11-Nov-19 17:57:21

I'm 62 and after walking 22,000 steps at work today feel every year of it .

Lilyflower Mon 11-Nov-19 17:52:37

63 but don't feel it.

brawlass Mon 11-Nov-19 17:51:56

82+1 week

annietelephant Mon 11-Nov-19 17:47:11

Apparently I’m 69, or so my birth certificate states - I’l be 70 in January. In my head I’m 35-ish, which is a bit odd as I have daughters of 40 and 41! Oh well!

Anneeba Mon 11-Nov-19 17:46:27

60. The new 40. I think I feel 36 though, always my favourite number.

Lizbethann55 Mon 11-Nov-19 17:44:19

Hi Lovebeigecardigans1955 , I am January 20th. When is yours? Still working. The result of being a WASPI?
