Me too.....Will be a big year for me next year Ktab, I hit 40!! Finding it very very hard to accept to be honest, I just keep pretending that it is not going to happen, well I never did think it would happen to me. I have to find some way of accepting age because it depresses me every time I think about it.

The youngest also starts school so I will have nobody at home for the first time in 12 years...will be really weird not to have a little one to look after!

Oney you will really feel it when she goes to school but after a period of time you will begin to enjoy the 'me' time I think.
On getting older, no one likes to be reminded of our mortality and I think that may be the issue for you? Personally the way I always see it is it's better than the alternative. There are many good points to getting older as well as negatives but it depends on how one chooses to perceive it.

Mario you could always give them a hand seeing as Jim ain't around today.

Zenny sounds like you are having fun with your new smart phone.

Expat, delighted the meeting went so well, I can't imagine how tough it must to go through that issue alone.

I think I just don't want to be leaving my youth behind and my face to fall about...totally vain and selfish I think> I need to cop on and be grateful that I am healthy and alive.......so many others don't live to see 40.

I have looked at everything in that direction Zenny but it's not do-able for many reasons I can't go into. Proppping up a failing business with borrowed money is a form of denial, so true to form for me I suppose. I know the temporary answer to my cash flow is to go out and get a job and I am spending a lot of time looking but without any success so far. Begining to wonder am I am still employable. Starting anyother business takes cash so that's a catch 22.

Ok here is a different take on it for you. When you were 20 you were probably attracted to guys around your age and you dressed, thought and behaved like a 20 yr old. The thoughts of some wrinkley old bloke aged 40 would have been a yuk. At nearly 40 you dress, act and look differently and a good looking guy in his 40s would warrant a second glance while walking down the street. Well it's the same for guys and if you see a couple in love at 65+ are they looking at their partner and think who is this wrinkly old sod, nope. Our brains adapt I think. Or maybe that's all just crap.
