What age would you like to be again

[binley100]

We must be of the same genes..........so did I . I have no-one to blame I didn't meet mine until I was 26.

I am happy where I am.
I was slimmer, had more money and made some terrible decisions in my 20's.
Best thing I ever did was meet my OH and have our little girl
Now I'm in my 30's I am more confident in myself, finally know what I want to do with myself and happy in my own skin.
Would hate to go back to my late-teen/early 20's.

Would like to have got into gardening and nursing a bit earlier in life though.

I have always been happy to be the age I am/was. If I had to stick at my ideal age I would choose twenty nine.
I was alarmed when approaching sixty but having reached that on Monday am quite happy to be that!

From the age of ....16 to 25 I felt inadequate
25 to 45 I was too busy bringing up a family to remember
45 to 60 Sort of sad that I was getting old
60 to 75 I have at last felt that this is me, warts and all.
Like it or lump it!

60 ..........

I will be 60 in a few weeks time. It would be nice to be 25 again for the fitness and health, but only if I can have the knowledge, experience and confidece that I have now

Me too Geoff (when's your birthday? Mine's the end of this month). Thinking back, maybe there are things I should or could have done differently. But if I had I may not have had my children, who mean the world to me (and consequently my grandchildren, who also mean the world to me). I would not willingly be without any one of them. I just wish I had more energy, enough money to be sure I can keep my (rented) home which I love, and some way of knowing that everything will be OK in the end. At least in a few weeks I get a free bus pass - that must be a bonus!!

Bet you it disappears after the election. It is costing far more than was originally thought. I think whatever party gets in will leave it to local councils again. And if your council is like ours, they can't wait to get rid of it.

I am happy where I am right now. Speaking as a seasoned commuter to London, I am so glad men are not chatting me up incessantly like they did in my 20s/30s. I have a lovely grumpy 'get lost' look about me now.(and a big bum..) I do yearn for my days horse riding in the Lake district as a youth but I wouldn't swap my kids for anything!!!!

[geoff]

I have similar thoughts about the bus pass too! I will be 60 at the end of April.
I have lots of trips planned, and walks around the Lake District without having to use a car ( yes, I know that would be rough on the suspension, but you know what I mean), but it wouldn't surprise me if they were discontinued soon, ie after the next election, no matter who gets in - every cynic is a disillusioned romantic
