The big 30...for all those who have been there.

I'm going to be 30 this year.

I've got a couple of ideas on how to mark this momentous occasion but nothing definite yet.

For all those born before 1978.....how did you celebrate your 30th birthday?

Let me think, .....Can't remember, sign of a good night probably (and the fact that it's a couple of years ago)

i cant for the life in me remember what i did for my 30th, i'm 32 in a few weeks, so obviously when you hit 30 your mind starts going

I cried......for about two days. I thought my life was over......daft bird, the good bits were still in the box waiting to be unwrapped.
I was more upset about being 30 than I was about turning 60.....yeah, i know I am really an old baggage now.
Getting older is liberating......I have found I don't have to accept things that I don't like.
I know who I am, I make no apologies for being who I am, and if folk don't like it then it is their problem not mine.
I don't have to impress anybody....I'm comfortable in my own skin(whatever that means).

I feel old being nearly 25

Bonnyboy · 01-01-2008, 20:46

I don't have a clue what I did for my thirtieth, struggle to recall what happened last week.

garinda · 01-01-2008, 20:47

'78'? I'd started going clubbing then...as an old looking thirteen year old.

Whatever you decide to do, enjoy it. Your thirties are a blast, and in no time at all you'll be posting on here about how you shold celebrate your fortieth.

I woke up the day of my 30th to find my friend and my Mum had pinned baby photo's of me on all the lamp-posts on the street..... Then spent most of the day with 'Flasher'Tart.....she climbed a fence and got her top caught on the climb down......enough said!!!!

flashy · 01-01-2008, 20:52

There is an advantage to being 30
People stop telling you to grow up and just accept that you are eccentric

Age is all relative. It's just a number taken from the Christian calendar, mixed in with how many times the earth's gone round the sun.

I know miserable acting teenagers, and people in their eighties who are as daft as a brush, and enjoy every minute of the day.

The most important thing, irrespective of the number of years you've been on this planet, is to enjoy life...because it's so precious, and we only have it on loan.

Also realised on my 30th that I had forgotten you shudn't ride a bicycle whilst slightly drunk!
