For example if you are currently 42 you would now be 24

I'm not sure that 56 would be much better than 65, but if it meant that I could go back in time to when my DH was still here, I'd take that.

BrownTroutBluesAgain · 06/10/2025 01:51

I’d be 95 so based on life expectancy
dead!

I’ll pass then

Me too!

Oh reversing the numbers would make me 14! No way I'd be that age again, with all of those exams ahead of me 🫣

At 41 I've got a lovely husband, the kind of home I never thought I'd own, and live in a national park surrounded by beauty. I just wish my parents were younger.

NippyNinjaCrab · 06/10/2025 07:31

Yes!! I would be 35 and I would do so many things differently. X

CosyFanTucci · 06/10/2025 07:36

I’d be 5. No way would I trade growing up in the 80s and 90s with what today’s kids will go through.

Onelifeonly · 06/10/2025 07:38

Reversed. It would give me 9 years back, but only for another week or so as it's my birthday soon and then it won't make any difference.

HerewardtheSleepy · 06/10/2025 07:40

Since that would make me 26 years older, I'll stick with what I've got, thanks.

PurpleChrayn · 06/10/2025 07:51

I’m 44 so no change Grin

thecatneuterer · 06/10/2025 08:18

Reversed please. 36 was a lovely age.

DontGoJasonWaterfalls · 06/10/2025 08:32

I wouldn't go back to being 13, no chance.

Ask me next year though and I'd absolutely reverse. 23 was great for me. DD was 4, I was newly married, moving up in a job I loved, we moved to where we live now. A really happy year.

Sprogonthetyne · 06/10/2025 08:43

Is it a one way ticket, or just an experience? I'd quite enjoy a few weeks of been 73, for a rest if I'm retired and past raising DC, but don't think I want to write off 35 years of my lifespan. Definitely wouldn't want to be 73 in my current situation and still have to run round after 6&8yo's.

DramaLlamacchiato · 06/10/2025 08:44

25! Young and slim! Yes please

MyElatedUmberFinch · 06/10/2025 08:44

Wha happens if you swap and you are dead, can your swap back?
