Forty tomorrow

[Isyhan]

Im forty tomorrow but ever so slightl;y depressed about it. has anyone anything to say to cheer me up??

[ZZMum]

40 is FAB FAB FAB -- I love it..

[ZZMum]

sorry let me expand -- all the anxieties of youth have gone, the big things achieved... time to relax and enjoy life...

[Isyhan]

Yes but your face slides into your neck and your waist into your bum and I went to NEXT to try on some jeans today and they had surround mirrors and I felt crap. (Im a size 12 but still felt crap)

[MarsLady]

I love Next jeans. They appreciate the fact that some of us have bottoms!

[Isyhan]

The worst think was that the pockets kind of disappeared under my cheeks which just didnt flatter my bum at all.

[CountessDracula]

yes I like Next jeans too

(don't like anything else they do though lol)

Hey, I felt like you the night before my 40th , you will feel odd for a bit then it becomes the norm

Have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[emmatomATO]

It's better than the alternative honey (6' under!!). Some people havn't been lucky enough to reach our grand old age.

On a more positive note - life really is good up here in the naughty fourties. I've become much more relaxed in myself, care less about what others think and look at sexy women like Helen Mirren, pushing 60, compared to bland airheads like Britney.

The mature woman who walks tall and has life experience is so much more interesting.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow!

[Whizzz]

Well I was 40 at Xmas & I don't feel any different to when I was 30 - so don't let the numbers bother you

Have a Happy Birthday

Isyhan - know how you feel, Im 40 on Sunday - we are nearly twins!! Ive been sliding into this feeling since about September - thought it might be SAD but realized that I am just sad!
I did think I would be famous by now, though in Gods name in what I dont know. Actually would hate to be famous - but you know what I mean!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[Isyhan]

Thanks for the support. Im not properly depressed or anything its just that I just feel that Im wanting people to say 'Oh you only look 35' and then I get annoyed with myself for being so superficial when other 40 year old women are just getting on with it and not obsessing at all.

[brandnewhelsy]

Oh, you only look 35 .

[Isyhan]

Oh now I feel so much better. You dont look a day over 33 yourself.

[hotmama]

I'm 40 in March. So have some sympathies!

At least you have got a size 12 arse - shake it lady.

I'm looking forward to my 40's. I feel a lot more confident in being me.

(Surround mirrors always make you feel crap unless you are a size 6!)

[moondog]

I'm 40 in May.
Oh,and a size 12.
I feel better than I have in years.

[brandnewhelsy]

Thanks Isyhan! I'm 42 you know.......(hobbles off muttering to self and adjusting wrinkly American Tan tights)

[crumbs]

Happy birthday for tomorrow!

[brandnewhelsy]
