Default How old??
If you're only as old as the man/woman you feel, how old are you? I'm 38 when I can be bothered.

It's ok being a Grandad, it's when you realise you are going to bed with a Granny that things get worrying!

Happy Hatching day scared55!!

I'm 40 next month, and reaching the point where my body is beginning to fail (or so it feels, just found out the reason my eyes have been so tired is I've got astigmatic vision, so need glasses for anything I concentrate on (hence the lack of posts recently, I've been resting my eyes and coping with a very stressfull time at work to boot)! No fair!)

Mind you, as Mr D is 3 years younger than me, I get to feel a little younger, he's my toyboy! lol!

The brain feels 20, the body feels 80 - the combo is somewhere in between!

I was 40 yesterday and am not currently 'feeling' anyone!

In my head I'm about 25 - works for me if I don't look in the mirror too often!

Happy birthday for yesterday Claire (good name, by the way) If 50 is the new 35 as I was told recently, then you're right - you are only 25

My late mother, when she hit 50, started counting backwards - she was 22 when she died

On that basis, I am 42

Thats the best thing I've heard in a long time!


In my head I'm still in my 20s, problem is the body. I would just love to get up out of a chair (and sit down in it) without grunting!

My birth certificate says I'm 62 but that's a pack of lies. I know I was at my 21st birthday party last year Anyway, it doesn't matter. We're none of us here forever or got any kind of a guarantee so what matters is to get the best out of every day. Happy days everybody.

Somedays I feel about 20, others nearer 60. I still think I can;t possibly be old enough to be responsible for a mortgage, house, and family. And my parents can still talk to me like I'm about 10!! But I figure as long as life is still good, it doesn't matter what age or size I am - just make the most of what I've got today!

I'm 60 physically this year.
I feel physically about 45 : still running 15 miles/week.
Mentally about 35 I guess...
