The end is nigh. You're almost middle aged.

My 30's were brilliant, spent five years living overseas in Canada and the Netherlands...saw vast chunks of the World...now in my 40's I am a mortgage slave, wish I could turn the clock back...enjoy them while you can.

Hon - I am 30 in April and its not something I am looking foward to - Not cause I am getting old but because I feel that I should have got married/bought a house ect ect by now.

Then again - I look at it and people say I look 5 years younger than I am, I have a gorgeous rented flat that I could never afford to buy what with the house prices in Hove these days, Have a great career which means I can support myself and do what I want to do when I want to do it and have great friends!!!

Its not that bad getting older - just means you know more than you did when you were in your early 20's and you have more cash!!!!

I was 30 in November and can honestly say it's no different - still feel 21 anyway just with afew more responsibilities - a great finacee a fantastic little boy and and a mortgage, feels just right for my age to be honest.

I think it's easy to look back through Rose tinted glasses to teh days when you were in your early mid teens no responsibilities pissing it up the wall 3 - 4 nights aweek - but to be honest probably 70% of those nights out were a bit shite anyway - so now when i do get out and get to be me rather than my little lads Dad or my partners finace i enjoy it alot more and make the most of it.

You've got to make the most of it becasue as far as we all know you only get one crack at your life.

Also thier is suddenly a lot less pressure in life once your settled - so just chill.

I will be thirty this year, people keep trying to get me to do something amazing and huge and exciting for the big day but I'd rather just go to the pub and get trashed, maybe wake up in a pool of my own vomit three days later.

Is that so wrong?

Pretty much what I did for mine, so no real change from most Saturdays....

I think this is the way to go. the only time I tried something differant (still involving plenty of booze) for my Birthday I ended up with a chunk out of my ear, a fight in the Gloucester nightclub, My landlady and girlfriend in tears and ten people from London I barely know chucking sausages at me before crashing on my bedroom floor.

I am 50 next week and in the 20 years since I was 30 my children have been born, gone through the terrible two's started and finished school and are now working and one moved out of home.

Basically time flies so enjoy it while you can.

I think I spent one birthday in Wigan and we lost 3-0.

We got something stupid like the 0615 train from London, so started drinking then...

Hither (sometimes Thither)
I'm 31 years old in time or common calendar's readings, but i have the body of a rotund 48 year old cyborg, caked in rust and binary solitude, and the mental agility of an 18 year old blob always hungry for the arty produce of Greggs piemakers, peas on canvass, sick in pastry.
On my 30th, i had some 'friends' and my 'girlfriend' all amassed on some widened field enjoying a few beers and watching traffic pass. Everything finished by about midnight, i think. The personal quest for loss and slaughter had ended in some way, and niceness was enough. From then on all was kind of good, and inoffensive. Admittedly, i have slipped a slope since then by accident, but age itself is a treat, and opens the eyes to documentaries and UK History channels. Time to concentrate on learnings rather than the excitement of all that could be done.

The way I see it, I don't really remember anything until I was in my mid teens (and what I do was rubbish - being a kid is crap, full stop) so I've only really lived 13/14 years so far. These have been great, and it means when the big three-oh comes around I won't feel so bad about it. Still got another 50 years to go - I'm sure I'll be sick to death of life by the time I'm 75, so bring on eternal nothingness!
