dannyglick you better start back tracking, it was revealed upthread as 50's after some detective work on Advanced Search Grin.

MrsPMT · 08/11/2016 16:58

Am shocked at these answers, I don't think OP looks much older than I do, I'm mid-forties so would say late forties/early fifties.

My DMum is in her 60's, looks fine for her age and looks way older than OP.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 08/11/2016 17:02

Clearly no one reads the thread before posting otherwise they'd see she's in her 50's.

MiracletoCome · 08/11/2016 17:03

50 - 60

VenusRising · 08/11/2016 17:05

What a weird thread.

If the op is 30 then she's being told she's in her 60s.

If she's in her 60s then she might think she looks younger.

But whatever, she's on for a weird reevaluation...... if she ascribes to the idea that younger is better, or something like that.

I wonder if the picture is of the op anyway? Or her frenemy?

Where is the op?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 08/11/2016 17:06

She's in her 50's.

  1. Your username suggest so :)

Did the OP not come back and reveal her age?

Bertha1924 · 08/11/2016 17:15

Thanks all for taking the time to reply. I am 59 … been going through a bad time just lately and feel old and tired which I haven’t done before. I did have brown hair but too much grey coming through … had it dyed recently, supposedly grey, but its more brassy blonde and I hate it (it also now has the texture of a brillo pad ffs!).

OP- you look great, honestly your skin is amazing and you're very pretty. I got round the greys by going 'bronde' that way they blend in easilyWink

mumofthemonsters808 · 08/11/2016 17:18

I don't know why people do this, but I'll bite, I'd say late fifties. You have a lovely smile Op and look well. I've not read the thread, I hope you're not forty..Ive just asked my Oh for a second opinion he said 60.

facedontfit · 08/11/2016 17:19

You look fantastic for 59!!

Notagain16 · 08/11/2016 17:20

Well most of us were spot on then.

Whatever your age or how old or young you look doesn't matter does it? You look really lovely full stop.

Very brave op.

Thisjustinno · 08/11/2016 17:20

I think you look absolutely fabulous for 59.

AgainPlease · 08/11/2016 17:20

56?

For those who are saying 40... Confused

OP why are you doing this to yourself?

ItMustBeBedtimeSurely · 08/11/2016 17:20

Your face looks younger, but short hair is very aging imo. With longer hair I think you'd look late forties, early fifties.

Roussette · 08/11/2016 17:20

Bertha you're an attractive woman and it's irrelevant whether you look 59 or not TBH. Just embrace your age and carry on doing what you're doing!

AgainPlease · 08/11/2016 17:21

Oops! Just saw your post.

59 and fab!

ErrolTheDragon · 08/11/2016 17:22

Bertha - glad you put everyone out of their misery! Grin

Well, lots of people a bit wide of the mark, quite a lot about right - but anyway, you're looking good. I think the hair colour looks fine in the photo but the right sort of grey could be awesome - as it's short hopefully you can have another shot at exactly what you want before too long. Smile

ivykaty44 · 08/11/2016 17:22

53?

Blossomdeary · 08/11/2016 17:22

70 I would guess - at least.

Thefitfatty · 08/11/2016 17:23

See I was thinking it was the bleached blonde hair that aged you. Embrace natural!

RedStripeLassie · 08/11/2016 17:26

I guessed 53 so that's six years off. You look lovely.

SukeyTakeItOffAgain · 08/11/2016 17:28

Bertha, you look fab :) (Glad I said "50"!)

You have beautiful skin and a lovely smile. You look like a nice person.

ScarletForYa · 08/11/2016 17:30

You look incredible for 59 OP !
