Just had a go at this quiz on the BBC www.bbc.co.uk/guides/zg3hk7h

My body age is 10 years above my actual age!! Please tell me I'm not the only one grin

Hurrah! I am 11 years younger! DH came out as 101 which he was cross about at 69 grin I think possibly because he smoked for 20+ years although has given up for the last ten.

Oh and he's the ultimate "Glass half empty" man too which seems significant.

Ana I'm not 100% sure why your post made me laugh. Something about being run over by a bus being bad for your heart? grin

82 seems okay for me at the moment because I am younger than you, jingl. All my grandchildren will be in their 20s and 30s.
I may even be a great granny. That'll do.
Having had an aortic dissection, I know I am lucky to be alive now.

I'm 10 years younger, 51 with a chronological age of 61. However, I have recently had my contract terminated on the grounds of permanent incapacity and and have been told my prognosis is poor. In other words, I probably am on my way out! Somebody has got it wrong, ha, ha!

Seems I am 34 years older

durhamjen Sun 07-Aug-16 09:21:53

Sorry about that, Marydoll.

What have you been doing, Annie, chainsmoked since you were ten?

Anniebach Sun 07-Aug-16 09:32:17

Think best I do it again Jen grin

I year younger, although my hops are in the state of someone 20 years older thanks to a congenital deformity ( but they didn't ask that)

durhamjen Sun 07-Aug-16 10:19:48

You need to stop hopping, goose.

They knocked 7years off my real age which is nice to know considering I don't do exercise at present.
