Early next year, I'll be hitting the big milestone of 40.
Over the weekend someone asked me what I wanted to do for it.
I said cinema and meal after.
But what would you/did you do for yours?
Looking for ideas, see if any interest me to change my mind...  |

"I spent my 40th in the lovely Beaumont hospital.... for a lovely 2 month stay lol"
Oh no! That's rotten luck. Hope you feeling better now?
Did you manage to celebrate after you got out of hospital at all? |

I'd be happy to do the cinema and food, but was wondering if there was something suggested that I hadn't thought of.
Whatever I do end up doing will be what I would like to do. Have firmly said no to a party in the house so I am having a day! |

I was absolutely miserable when I turned forty and I refused to have a party. I was sitting home alone and all my friends turned up, put up a gazebo in my yard, lit a fire and gave me a bottle of Redbreast 21 |

Now they're what you'd call real true friends! I hope you enjoyed the night in the end. |

"Go away for a couple of days on your own to see something close you've always wanted to go to visit "
Not a bad idea, but I'm a man-child geek so I'd probably just end up doing a tour around Ireland visiting comic, game and toy shops to be honest... |

For several years I celebrated my birthday with my Family and a group of close friends, usually 4-5 days holidays somewhere, usually a beach resort.
I think the most important thing is with who you want to celebrate this milestone. |

That is true, which was why I had my original plan. But sometimes I need to think bigger! |
