I was 48 Saturday and I'm not old yet - in fact I'm not even middle aged yet

When you want to, I've decided not to bother. Getting old equates to being sensible.

Probably when you sneak earplugs into a late bar when you're out with your mates.

Well I was thinking more about crocheting your own cardies and not bothering to put your false teeth in Don...... but...

I think there is a huge amount of mental attitude involved, as well as the luck of having good health, and its not as simple as reaching a certain age...

Someone mentioned that I was middle aged (I'm 37) over the Christmas Break it made me stop and think! what does that mean? - does that mean I'm half way dead!

State of mind.

My mum is 75 and in perfect health, has decided she is "too old" to travel from Cambridgeshire to London to see us anymore.

My dad is 79 with failing eyesight but he does the journey every few months and goes out walking every day (weather permitting).

My auntie is 82 and travels all over the place on her own visiting friends and relatives.

It's not linked to a number, but to attitude and behaviour.

I intend never to behave like a grown-up, so shall remain about 15 for ever

They say "you are only as old as the woman you feel". This would make me 92, as I just felt an old Granny's arse accidentally whilst giving her my seat on the bus.

How old are you coops? cos my granny just rang me to say she's been felt up on the bus by some randy bloke on the way to shops.........and she feels alot younger now.

I'm 9 on Thursday. The police are on their way as she didn't have to reciprocate.

Health has a lot to answer for, my FiL is almost 75 and was regularly working abroad and walking the dog everyday, writing a novel and "text books". Since the summer he has had a series of health set backs and he is now a shrunken, frail looking old man.
