It's suddenly come upon me.

Ah, anyone else get this??? I need reassurance. It'll 10 years till I'm 40. I'll be a 30-something.

I'll have to seriously consider having kids soon.

I'll seriously have to think about marriage, mortgage, pension.

FREAKING OUT FREAKING OUT FREAKING OUT.

I still think I'm 20.

Why do you have to seriously

consider all of this, right now? That's absurd!
Calm down! 30 is fine; it's only when you get to 31 that you properly freak ;)


I'm probably older than

70% of the people on here these days.

That's depressing enough.

I think I'm going to buy a Harley Davidson and start wearing leather trousers.


So what?

They don't care about your age, why should you?


ps

pics with the leather trousers pls. thanks.


ewww

no thanks!


happening to me this year

not really bothered about it


Fug off.

I'm 40 next year.

Out of your list of must-do's the pension one is probably the best idea.


Oh

I meant Fug off in a nice way. :}


Yeah yeah old man

:D


i'm 19

:)


Beofre I'm one day older

Ah, 30 30 30 30 30.


:D


Mildly


It depends whether or not I've

developed some new super prediction power or not. That would take the edge off my guilt.

Let us know if you're still ticking overtomorrow afternoon, though.

Just so we don't worry.


nah im quitting DiS

so for the rest of your life you wonder if you killed me


17.

fuck. yeah.


^5

YOUTH!

SKINT


I freaked out a bit

but you know......it all feels great now.
I actually feel grown up.

I'll


it's really not that bad

just means you've been round the sun a few more times. No biggie.


Stop being

such a girl ;o)


Wait till you're near 40...

Now that'll be freaky...


It's not freaky

honest.


yes it is.

I'm feeling older any minute !


Why are you freaking out about it?

The average age of life expectancy has changed, and with this so has middle age. I am 35 in 2 weeks time, and I still live my life as I did 10 years ago. Most of my friends are single, or if they aren't we all hang out together. There is simply nothing to worry about.

True saying, 40 is the new 30.


^ This

snap


True - Non of my male friends

are married or have kids. It's like no-one wants to make the first move.

I didn't realise there were so many thirty somethings on here.

I feel a bit better now. Might have a nice ale.


I'm 32

and I think I only have one married off friend.


Along with Mirri

i'm also 32.


33 in a month

and although the whole 30th thing didn't bother me, I now starting to think, mmm 35 soon, all down hill from there..


Yeah?

Tell that to my fucking knees.


Have your knees got a username?

I will pm them ;-)


It's just a number.

On you're birthday you'll only really be a day older than you were when you were twentynine.


mtfu

"i though you had kids john?"


I turn eighteen on friday

jealous? ;)

But seriously, thirty isn't THAT old.


I'm 20 on Saturday

which means I'll be 10 years away from 30. Oh woe!


I know!

you wait missy, you're not exactly looking spritely. You'll be past your prime before you know it!


if it's any consolation

you don't look a day over 7.


im not

ive still got like 3 months untill i turn 18 :D.


it's fine. don't worry.

I thought I'd turn 30 in style by buying a house, getting engaged AND turning 30 all within a 2-month period. nothing bad happened.


You don't have to think about marriage, mortgage, pension

If you haven't got married yet you don't really want to so don't worry about it
Govenment give you a very low pension just for having worked for ten years or more so that's sorted


Just lie

and keep yourself looking young and then it won't matter
