    I LOVED being 30. Had a ball. Got a tattoo which I love and had the most amazing couple of years. Ames - it was the least sensible time of my life..........oh boy.......lol.......

    Still can't face up to being 40 next month. It is really going to bother me and it's a good job I'm not here as it will feel like 'another day' of my holiday where you forget what the day/date is because of being away.

    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.

    I'll be 37 this summer too! Didn't realise we were so close in age;)

    New job is good. Finding it difficult to think about settling properly until I hear about the other one though:cool:

    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!

    Truthfully Ames, I don't feel that I grew up until I was 40. Once I was over 40, I seemed to look at things differently.

    I wasn't immature before, but I was prbably living the life of someone a lot younger than me - still going clubbing and that sort of thing.

    Now I have completely changed and don't go out at all :(

    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...

    You'll just not have to take after her - simples.

    Of course since you can't remember stuff from the womb, your life feels shorter anyway...
