Hi all
SRM - that's rubbish news. Poor poor woman and her family...I really don't know how I would cope.
Bun - good to know you can get home on the day you've planned. As someone on the radio said, it's a bit different choosing to extend your holiday than being told you can't come home.
Elfen - enjoy your last day being 26 (so young!)
Ames - glad to hear you've had a good day.
LMC - enjoy the time with your OH
Need to read back to see who I've missed.YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)
really....it's not hard to understand :T0 -
Young now...but in three years I'll be thirty! But at least I'll have a degree!
Also, I'm actually wearing my glasses whilst on the computer....this I never do....but I might not have a headache this time.** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
**SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
I do it all because I'm scared.

I'll be thirty in eight and a half months (eeww I was two weeks early which means that thirty years ago now, ewww) but it doesn't really bother me. It does in terms of how much I should have achieved and haven't, but the number's not really a bother.
Mum keeps going on about it, how awful it is that I'm so old, how terrible she felt at thirty, worse than forty and fifty...Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -
Nothing like making you feel good eh Ames? Thirty wasn't so bad....40 was (and still is) fabulous. I love every age I have been but would not want to been a teenager again for ANYTHING.YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)
really....it's not hard to understand :T0 -
Actually Ames,I agree with your Mum. 30 was a much bigger deal for me than 40 was......I'll be 50 in 2014....(FIFTY ! Sounds ancient!!!I still feel 17 if that counts..)Debt-free...and staying that way...0

I will be 50 next year SRM and funnily enough I was ok about turning 40 and though not worried about turning 50 (can't really stop it!) I do think that 50 sounds really old and grown up!OD [STRIKE] £2600 [/STRIKE] £0 :j Loan [STRIKE]£9500.00[/STRIKE] £0 :j Car [STRIKE]£3150[/STRIKE] £0 :j Moving Costs [STRIKE]£1300[/STRIKE] £0 :j Savings £1150 :j

Suzy, I wouldn't want to be a teenager again, although as I was pretty much housebound for three years in my teens I missed out on a lot of growing up experiences which has affected my confidence I think.
Tenmah, that's my big problem about 30 - if it means I'll have to be all grown up and sensible!Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -
Hi All,
Ames - turning 30 was fine for me, no different to 29.Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0 -
Evening all
SRM - Sorry to hear about your friend.
I hated turning 30 it was a real issue for me.....I felt I'd missed my late teens and twenties by being "settled" and married so young..turning 30 was a huge stumbling block. I'm over it now though. I shall be 37 in June which seems far to grown up.
Had a lovely morning out with Inlaws and then a nice lunch, the waitress was really nice and brought DH extra cutlery and a straw for his drink without being asked....we left a nice tip
Came home and promptly fell asleep on the sofa (seems to be a habit lately - must be my age) Had to put the heating on for an hour too as it was sooooooo chilly, DH was nearly blue with cold.
