sootem Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Having read loads of posts it seems that everyone seems to be really young Whereas I am a spritely 52 soon to be 53 year old Don't feel any older than 18 however with that much water under the bridge I'm certainly wiser - I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 That's the joy of the internet - "Ooops, word censored!"ody really knows how old you are! I thought you were 18 but my eyesight isn't what it used to be ... No, of course you're not too old. I'm only a few years off your age, although I definitely don't feel it. Well, only a few times a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickvic Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Age is all in the mind! I'm 34 and DH is nearly 38...I teased him about being close to 40 and then said "That means you're a grown up!" We've been married for 12 years and have 2 kids, 3 cats, 3 chickens, a mortgage etc. Does that mean I have to be a grown up too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Lesley...is Sootem too old for this forum? Divine little chicklet you have there Sootem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Aw, she's adorable. So glad I looked at this topic Sootem. Plus, we're a similar age and there are a lot of our generation on the forum. One of the assets of this forum is the wide range of ages, some really lovely teenagers, and younger, then each decade thereafter is well represented too.

jackiepoppies Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 If you're a spring chicken...which I don't doubt for one minute......not quite sure what that makes me! I became a pensioner last week but remember my 21st like yesterday. Have got 2 gorgeous grandsons and 2 beautiful granddaughters who I don't see as much of as I would like [due to location]. Am sure I'd feel younger if I saw more of them and would probably be a lot fitter Jackiexxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Lesley...is Sootem too old for this forum? Divine little chicklet you have there Sootem. Of course not Egluntine She's just the right age (well, she will be shortly! ) I was a child bride.....luckily for me, my daughter was not... or my grandchildren would be older than 10 and nearly 8 I intend to grow old disgracefully - and I still feel twenty something in my head (until I have to get out of a chair ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
