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.
HTH.
learned more about myself in the last 5 years (now 35 goddamnit!!) that in did in the first 30. much happier because of it ...
Your local GP has a whole host of amazing drugs to deal with depression.
feel fitter now at 40 than I did at 30.
Spent too much time in my 20's having bozzy fun tbh 😉

Lightweight.
Man up your still alive 😀
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.
Report to Carrousel or get running!
Ah, you will be needing a Bench vice now you are old enough. This will do nicely:
And a shadowboard, essential now you're all grown up.

Unusual, but at least you'll be safer commuting in the dark.
My job is OK and pays enough
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 **** more. Mind you, you will already know this having a baby in the house.
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.

You **** more
Speak for yourself 8)

There you go again... 🙄
The only thing worse about my 30s than my 20s is the hangovers.
Buy beige elastic waisted trousers. Your life is over
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. 😥
advise? ... well looking at me and most of those i know around the 35 year mark id say plan for an impending divorce!
then start planning to date divorcees... 😀
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.
Have you sorted out your funeral expenses insurance?
I hated my 30s. Sorry.
I had a great time in my 30s from what I can remeber. 50 in march tho 🙁
give up 😉
nah.
average age of buying house is 38 [url= http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/house-and-home/property/no-place-like-home-the-generation-who-cant-afford-to-buy-1921781.html ]apparantly[/url]
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.

Strangely as I get further from my 20's I start to remember more about what actually happened during them.
If only I could remember the article about at what point things move from your short-term to long-term memory. Don't worry it'll come to me, might take a few years though...
dirtygirlonabike- sounds pretty much like me as well. Its become enduring rather than enjoying lately. Plus I've become more and more impatient and rushing everywhere 🙁
My 30th was one of my lowest points. I remember clearly thinking on the day how pish my life was and decided to change things. Worked hard to pick it up, seemed to go well for a few years then got knocked pretty much under the floor (my, this is cheery, isn't it?!). Then started all over again, discovered biking, eventually found the woman of my dreams and was a lot happier by 40. Now a few years on I am frustrated that my body is now so knackered that I'm no longer getting the most out of life and I look about ten years older than I really am, but that's a minor problem compared to what went before. In sum, for me it's got betterer and betterer and hopefully it will for you, although it sounds like you're in a decent place already. Just don't expect your body to continue to function well.....!
when i turned 30 i thought i should feel more responsible and grown up, but i didnt, and still don't 😛
there is nothing you should or shouldnt have done by now, apart from enjoy life. it goes far too quickly and dwelling on 'what if's' gets you nowhere.
thats what i think anyway 😀
jane
my advice get a grip
you have done most of the growing up now you just grow old
HTH
