    I have to say I had my rebellious time when I was 29/30/31. I did a lot of drinking, a lot of socialising and a lot of erm..........getting into debt because of it :o

    I can confirm life begins at 40...

    0-18 life was completely carp...

    18-25 earning my first house, having kids and getting married (twice) think little house on the prairie and you are close.....

    25-30 trying to recover from having kids and completely retreating into myself (and skint!)

    30 - 35 trying to forge a career - still skint....

    35 - 40 complete mid life crisis - no longer skint move to bigger house and spend the best part of 5 years p$ssed....and got a tattoo

    40 - 43 back to being skint, another child, no longer p$ssed every week but happier than I have been for years...kind of been there, done that got the t-shirt.

    Like Bunny though I do get a shock when I look in the mirror cos i still only fee like a teenager...

    I wouldn't want to go back to being 20 again. I always felt older than I was and realised at 30 that was the age I 'felt' and I've never felt any different since. Well until now and I'm facing 40 in 12 months time and I want to turn the clock back to do 30 again. :rolleyes:
