"So as I’ve midnight tonight I can no longer claim to be in my late 30s 
Which tbh I don’t know how I feel about it! it’s just a number I know but  How did that even happen it’s flown by in a blink of an eye its crazy 
Make the most of it. It's downhill all the way from here.
How did you feel when you turned 40?!!

I feel younger when not engulfed with chronic pain so it affected me none.

Happy birthday fellow Aquarian! It was my birthday on Monday 
40 wasn’t so bad. It is a little odd as 40 used to be ancient but now it feels ok. Most of the people i work with are young enough to be my offspring but no one believes that I am as old as I am so as long as I can keep up with the kids then all is good
Have a great birthday x |

I didn’t see it as a number, it’s a milestone birthday and that was it. I have always remained active and enjoying things I have always done, and I was the same at 50… in my head I’m still a lot younger
Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional |

It's better than turning 50 that's for sure. Things start to ache... Hangovers take longer to clear... But you have more wisdom. Enjoy your birthday. |

I’m only a year in and it has taken some adjustment in terms of how I think about myself tbh. Like many people, I still keep wondering when I’ll feel like a proper grown up… maybe it’ll be in the 40s… |

Mine happened in the first lockdown so I’m technically still 39 until this year |

I looked forward to turning 40. I imagined I'd wake up as a proper sensible, sophisticated real adult. 40 is properly grown up, isn't it?
Didn't work out that way.
Maybe 50 will be the turning point.  |

On my 40th I treated myself to a day off work and arranged a birthday treat for myself... a sexy man from Fab to give me 40 bumps 
My 40's has to date been my most favourite decade.
OP I wish you a very happy 40th birthday and hope that you enjoy your 40's as much as I do

Thanks. Happy belated birthday to you same with me so many doctors/nurses younger than me and no one believes my age when I tell them so I guess that’s something here’s to ageing gracefully x |

Gracefully or in utter disgrace??? 
My 40’s have definitely been a lot of fun and I have probably realised over the last three years it isn’t actually what I look like but the confidence I have in myself that makes me more attractive |

I'm not doing too well with this aging malarkey & I'm not far off 49. However, I've made lots of changes during this decade that I wouldn't have had the guts to do when I was younger- I got out of a 22 year marriage, full of gaslighting & unhappiness, finally finished my weightloss journey, have had 5 skin removal surgeries (alone in Poland) & have had the BEST nsa sex I could ever have believed possible, mostly with delightful 30 somethings!!!
My advice would be just LIVE IT!! Life is a terminal illness, let's grow old disgracefully & go out kicking & screaming in pleasure!!!
Happy cake day xxx

I'm 40 in October and mixed feelings but it's inevitable x I'm still trying to think of awesome things to do this year to mark it x
I'm hoping to be spoilt rotten tho! My 30th I was nursing a 2month old so this time I'm gonna enjoy it! (and I don't really drink lol) x
Happy birthday sweetheart, age is but a number that no one really needs to know |

I'm 40 next year and actually quite looking forward to it. 20s I went from party girl to mum, 30s was all about everyone else and career stuff, I feel like 40s is when I'll get a bit of me back. Here's hoping anyway! |

Apart from the milestone nature of the number, turning 40 wasn't a big deal and was more of an excuse for a party than anything else.
As I have progressed through my 40s my outlook is changing noticeably, mostly in good ways although I am definitely becoming grouchier in my interactions with the general public! |

Really happy that I had made it that far (all considered)and Really sad at the thought of "could I have done more" before hitting the big 40 and I'll probably be thinking the same before the big 60 and so life goes on as we will always try and do that little bit more untill one day we say to ourselves HOLY SHIT DID I REALLY DO ALL THAT |

Wasn't too bad. Hated turning 30. By 40 I wasn't really bothered anymore. Still wish I was 21 though. |

Well so far my forties have been the best decade of my life! Best sex I’ve ever had, I’ve learnt a lot about life and myself, I’m enjoying it.
That said, age is just a number. |

When I turned 40 I just broke down. Couldn't help it, the tears just came from nowhere. I felt everything but nothing, if that makes any sense. I'm dreading turning 50 next year x |

It’s just a number. When I turned 30 I lost my husband four months later. He was 32. He should’ve been 40 the year before last. This year I’ll turn 40 and I’ll be embracing it.
I don’t feel my age anyway, just grab life by the balls and enjoy it |

Happy 40th birthday enjoy ur day x x
I turn 40 in a month and I'm not liking it so I decided 2 throw myself a party, if it has 2 happen then I do it in style. Hubby keeps reminding me it's better 2 turn 40 than not (which I know is true but still 40 OMG) |

I'm 40 on Saturday, I hate the idea of it as I've always been a "young lad" even through my 30's and lived accordingly, I never really factored in being old!
I'm just taking comfort in the fact I barely look any different to how I did 12 years ago, I've always had a baby face and I'm in great shape, and even got all my hair still which makes me look far younger than all the baldilocks I went to school with that I see on Facebook
I don't like it though, I wish time could have frozen in my mid 20's, I miss being that age  |

The last 18 months of my 30s were some of the hardest times I've encountered, so I was excited to turn 40. It felt like a new chapter, and I was looking forward to it starting.
My actual birthday was so very disappointing,but I had an amazing day the week after.
My 40s so far haven't been quite as I had envisaged in a lot of ways,but there is still 7 years left of them so I'm sure that will change.
Happy birthday OP, may it be your best decade yet x |

Turning 40 isn't sore, it's just a bugger as it starts with a 4 in stead of a 3. Every additional year is a nightmare as I still feel 18, so when I look in the mirror I get a huge scare!! The beautiful South said it best - time takes its toll, but not on the eyes. They still expect to see us as youngsters. Being 40 only really annoys me as I can't chat up people in their 20s anymore; and they seem like the come from an entirely different millennium  I wish I was 20 years younger- sex has moved on in leaps and bounds in that time!! |

Yeah I can relate to the 30s been nothing but family drama for me and my change in career. I hope that is so for my case x |

Many happy returns! I’m 40 in August. Perhaps in many ways this imminent landmark birthday coupled with my new found singleness it’s what’s prompted me to join this place. I’ve thought about doing this for a long time.
The rational part of me knows age is just a number and you will too. Keep enjoying yourself and you’ll feel a good 10-15 years younger and if you’re anything like me you’ll know yourself far better now than you did in your mid 20s… |

I thought "Shit, I'm about to age out of a bunch of people's age range", and so I spent the last couple of weeks of my thirties messaging people I would soon be unable to contact.
Didn't achieve anything, but it was worth the punt. |

That’s cool, I’ve often thought about getting inked but never had the guts - that and I’m quite indecisive about what image I’d actually get done |

I was actually pretty happy about turning 40, my 30s were great and had loads of good things in, but it was only in the last few years of them that I felt like I had actually found me and my style. I have soo much more confidence now, and I know that my 40s are gonna be full of filthy fun!

Happy birthday ??
Turning 40 was no big deal to me, but I'm 50 next month, so I'm starting to think and worry a little more of my ageing parents health and the fact I am much nearer the mortician than the midwife.
But 40 is good ??. |

I'm skydiving for mine on Saturday, I've done it before many years ago so it's not a new experience, but in these covid times it has been difficult to plan anything big when I had no idea when restrictions would be lifted. Hitting terminal velocity with a big smile on face will be a reminder that I may be aging but I'm still very much alive with that youthful sense of adventure |

I like "special" birthdays, it means people make an even bigger fuss of me than on normal birthdays...but I admit I'm a bit of a princess when it comes to birthdays
