You look brilliant!
A hell of a lady.
No idea about your age, though. 😁
Like your pearls, too. More is more!

Bumcake · 20/09/2024 17:06

My daughter looks about your age, and she’s 77.

I’m on my laptop and it’s obvious to me you are using a filter. Just saying.

Well. Possibly a little touch of camphor oil on the camera shutter, just to blur the edges out. 😉

Thank you my dear! Yes, more is more. Can you imagine that some people sit down to dinner in their day clothes? I fear that standards have fallen.

How can we be sure it’s you on the photo OP? What if you posted someone elses photo just to be mean to them? 😕

NasiDagang · 20/09/2024 17:10

This is an excellent post! I love it😀

AdaColeman · 20/09/2024 17:12

I'd say you look about 25. Love your sparklers, is that one of Alexandra's chokers you're wearing?

polarbearpaws · 20/09/2024 17:12

I think I know you! We had a snog at glasto at the foo fighters gig and you said you’d give me your number but you went off to puke up the 15 pints of cider you’d had and never came back!

Call me! I wrote my number on your cig packet

Is she independent? Married well? It's so difficult with youngsters now. You'd think a German aristocrat would be snapped up, but no, it's all "he's 96 and got gout and his first wife fell down a well in Basingstoke".

😂that was such a fun musical experience!
The toilets are no worse than Sandringham and the cider is well strong.
I'll ring you, pet, that was the best snog since my lovely George accidentally had meths that time on top of rum.

It is! You're most observant. Poor dear became terribly deaf, so never heard me rooting around in the jewellery boxes.

Hopefully it wont get reported by posters like mine did lol.
However i did manage to get my hedgehog back on MN.
I think you look no more than 25.

LightSpeeds · 20/09/2024 17:18

I sense you've probably always had quite a 'mature' face (even as a child) and have always looked older than your years...

Reported? What spoilsports. They're probably just jealous, dear, we've all had that. I'm glad you got your hedgehog back, the loss of a pet is so distressing. I once had a parrot who bit the Kaiser and it was never the same.
25? Yes, I think you have good judgement.

Well, I think mature is a good look, although my first fiancee would disagree....

What??? 🤬 Is George your husband? You told me you were taking that shish kebab home for George “your poodle”

Does this also mean you arent a VS model either?

You know, don't think some disreputable character wouldn't try to do that. I'm saying nothing about those dear Norwegian cousins, but they've been very jealous and they eat far too much fish. Anyway, it's all kosher.

Oh dear. It always ends like this. How I wish my allure was less strong, my beauty less overwhelming, my love of cider less addictive. Alas, in the heat of our passionate moments, I may have misled you. Mea Culpa.

A penny-farthing ride every day, ham broth for lunch, Eau de Cologne as a toner, and a touch of voddy added to Scrumpy Jack's Extra Strong.

You're very attractive OP, which will bring the claws out in other posters, but I do think you've had work done

Damn your interminable beauty. It has made an utter fool of me.

Still, at least I can brag to my mates down the pub and we’ll always have the Foo Fighters…..

😂Brilliant!

I would kill to have your lovely elegant neck, although you do look a little bit grey, maybe add a bit of laudanum to your cornflakes?

Jealousy is just so terrible, isn't it? I've had no work done at all - those eyebrows are absolutely natural. So are my lips. Friends say I look like Angelina Jolie, and I can definitely see it myself.
