It's made me go all reflective. Thinking about the last 10 years etc

All in all I think I have done ok, I am married and have a baby. My job is OK and pays enough, the only thing missing from where I "should" be is that I still rent my house.

Looking forward to the next ten years I guess I will need to look after my health a bit more. I partied pretty hard at times in my early twenties but you can do that and still be ok when you're 30. If I do that in the next 10 years I will be ruined at 40.

Anything else?

I've enjoyed my thirties far more than my twenties.

It doesn't get any better when you turn 40 either.

feel fitter now at 40 than I did at 30.

Spent too much time in my 20's having bozzy fun tbh

Enjoy it. I got all reflective when I turned 30, all part of growing up etc, was bloody glad to be alive when I was 40 so enjoyed that immensely.

Ah, you will be needing a Bench vice now you are old enough. This will do nicely:

Unusual, but at least you'll be safer commuting in the dark.

Are you OK with that? Sounds like cause for rebellion...

start checking for hairs where you don't really expect them - sprouting out of you nose, ears, etc

..and those lighter than ususal head hairs - no, not the way the light hits it, you are going to grey

welcome to my world of christmas cheer (at 50, I'm allowed to play grumpy old man)

You've got ten years to plan something really special your 40th birthday party. Mine was a cracker. The morning after was a bit ropey though.

+1 for thirties being vastly better than twenties. Forties are shaping up pretty nicely too.

30 definitely better than 20's.

I can remember the last two years, can't remember much at all of the first 5 years of my 20's

I turned 30 in January and it's been the worst year. I hope it gets better into the 30s.

Advanced age dementia is clearly a problem at a younger age than you might've imagined.

I think it was possibly more of a lifestyle choice.

The only thing worse about my 30s than my 20s is the hangovers.

hora, i think my whole life needs looked at. Work, rest and play are all pretty rubbish just now.

I started this year intending on having a great year, and setting a few pbs. Instead it has pretty much been the worst year in a long time.

I enjoyed turning 30. I hated reaching 31 though.

Forget sex, you're too old and your heart won't survive.
At least you can drink sherry as medication now.

Thing is I remember my 20's fondly but I guess when you hit 30's you are far more settled. Happier in myself, settled in my lifestyle (own a house, in relationship with Mr MC), have money for the 1st time. In 20's it was about getting drunk on student grants now I can go on cool holidays. But WTF are you doing on here on your 30th .. you should be doing something special and different to remember it? I was MTBing in Morocco ... now that was brilliant .. can't remember how many years ago that was now though

Have a great day and enjoy.

as well as a vice some plumbing equipment and a propensity to switch off lights, bleed radiators start saving for the nose hair trimmers.
