Delusional ? moi

I am simiar to you but I have my hair coloured and wear pretty much the same type of clothes I have always worn. Its when I have made a joke about my age and no-one has said' but you cnt possibly be that age/a grandmother/retired' that sort of thing really.

I realised I was old when I went to see a doctor and he looked as if he was a teenager wearing his dad's suit.

When you realise that the builders are going to be whistling at someone else.

When the people I worked with did not express surprise when I announced my intention to retire!

When a young man at a ticket office for the Paris Bateaubus asked me if I was retraitée. At the time my hair was still blonde and I was just under sixty. Like a fool, I said 'non' and missed out on a concessionary fare.

When I saw the awful picture I'd used on my Freedom Pass, why oh why did I not go back and get another one taken its just horrible.

When I see pictures of myself, I'm horrified that I'm 'old' I feel just the same as I have for many years (not saying much). I'm lucky that I don't have grey hair yet (good genes, not dye) and I like fashion.

Janthea Just looked at your photo and you certainly don't look old, or anything like your age [sycophantic sickly emoticon]

Yesterday, when my grandaughter took a photograph of me and I saw my gran.

When I look in the mirror and see my mother! Also when telling people the ages of my children, they no longer say, "Surely you are not old enough to have a son that age!".

When I look at a reflection in a shop window and it quite clearly is someone fatter and older than me looking back at me.

When I see someone who is quite

Something has happened to my typing today, disregard that last post, but now I come to think about it, I now feel very old!

I think you're all looking at this the wrong way round – like a reverse telescope. Gally, if you look 64, it's not a problem – you are what 64 looks like AND IT'S NOT OLD (and clearly quite lovely looking at your photographs). JessM surely you don't actually want builders whistling at you – BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU OLD. Zengran So people think you are old enough to have a son that age DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU ARE OLD. Stop worrying yourselves about being old. Think 60 is the new 40 and so on.

Absent good point!

My bones and wrinkles and saggy bits confirm that I am ageing. My spirit continues to tell me otherwise. On a not-so-good day, I would like to have a more youthful body, but on an upbeat day, given a choice, my spirit tells me that I'm happier now, [in spite of the saggy bits] than I ever was...

Ella46 I LOVE YOU!! Thank you

Looked in mirror yesterday and saw my gran! A very strict old lady!

I'm sure you can be strict when you have to be, jeni!

Grannyegg that shop window lady is ME!

I had to stop looking at window reflections as it was too depressing!

When I was travelling on Arriva Trains I brought a ticket via the 'over 55 club' and I wasn't asked for ID
Also when I saw my GP about my knee he said somthing along the lines of....... 'when you get to your age things start to wear out ' !!!!!!
AND when I look in the mirror I see (not my mum) my dad looking back at me. Not only am I getting old(er) I am starting to look like a man

What about those shops where you can see yourself walking in on camera? Scary! (and I don't mean the security aspect!)

I want to know why all shops use convex glass in their shop front I am sure concave glass and I would look thinner better.

Do they? Is that the only reason I look fat larger than I think I am in them? [hopeful emoticon]
