I'm loving the fact that there is such a diverse group of people gathered here, although it does seem a little quiet sometimes. I feel like I have arrived at a party after most people have gone home. I can't wait until the Special and season 4 are on air, maybe it will get a bit busier?

Sweetie, when the special airs this place will explode. No worries.

And remember people, don't lie about your age, BRAG about it!

I look forward to it!

38 isn't such a bad age I guess. It's perhaps easier to be happy about your age if you are happy with who you are. I have trouble with that.

Lol autocorrect tonnaree

Thanks. I must be going through my midlife crisis early or something. I keep wishing I could go back to being a kid, and fix my life. It's not a bad life, and I probably wouldn't change much of what has happened, I just wish I could change my personality!

You've arrived after the first, second and third parties, but don't worry-- there're a 4th and a 5th on our horizon, so lots of fun to come.

I'm 24 btw

I'm 20.
But I'd really love to shake hands with the one who is more than 70

I'm 24, my birthday's in October

I'm a young 65 and feel as good as I did in my 20's and 30's. Must be all that healthy living! . All I ask is that I continue to stay healthy and alive so I can see what happens in the next few series.

Okay, I'm slowly approaching 30 and freaking out a bit :-p
isn't that silly. never thought I'd be that kind of girl, but now I just cannot help it... *embarassed*
(oh, not because I don't like being 30, not at all! but because of this whole "looking back, what have I accomplished" business)

I am 47 and feeling quite energetic. I think joining the Sherlock fandom considerably reduced my age.

**Posted by mrshouse** March 28, 2015 4:44 am

I'm 41 and sometimes feel more at ease with everything than at the age of 39.

**Posted by Schmiezi** March 28, 2015 6:27 am

I'm 37 now and don't mind it a bit. Actually, I barely ever think about my age.

**Posted by Davina** March 28, 2015 12:07 pm

Age is just a number!

**Posted by tonnaree** March 28, 2015 2:59 pm

I'm always telling people my age because I love it when they comment on how youthful I look.

My name is tonnaree and I am an attention whore.

I totally freaked out when I turned 30, too! Now I'm 40, and my life void of accomplishment has somehow become much more "ok" with me. At least, we're still conscious and on this amazing planet. Don't look back. At least, not until time travel becomes an option. You never know. Just remember, you'll destined to become 40, 50, 90 and / or dead. One step at a time, and each step is... worth savoring.

(side note: I am thrilled to be almost the same age as Amanda Abbington - she is 44 days older than me (hers: 2/28 mine: 4/13))

I think I've already said my age... but I'm 25 and I really, really don't feel it. Somedays I feel like I'm 3 times that... other times I feel like I'm still 13.

My guy is 30 and a few weeks back my mum made me really uncomfortable. She randomly asked me "That actor guy you like (Benedict) how old is he, in his 50's?"... when I said he was only 8 years older than my guy she said "Oh, so you're going to marry him too?"

... We've barely known each other for 8 months, and he still lives in Holland. Sheeees mum!!

(Also... she still doesn't know that when I was 21 I dated a man who was 54... I think my guy is my youngest crush)

That's what I needed to hear! thank you, you are right of course just some people like to rub it in, and it makes me wanna to go up the wall sometimes.

@Phantom: well, love really doesn't care about age. and I think that's how it should be

Want to reveal my age, too: sweet 36 - but I'm feeling much younger because I totally adore and have a little crush on Mr Sherlock Holmes *ggg* :-).

**Posted by Lilythiell** July 10, 2015 12:08 am

Seeing as many of you have given out their age (why hide it? It is just a number), I'll just contribute with my own then -wait, how old am I again? Oh, right, 26. And already freaking out -paddling like hell on the surface but caaaaalm underneath- about my 30th, even if it's 4 years away (one series of Sherlock and another hiatus).
