I like you, you can come again :-) <br/><br/><br/>Kim - I know what you mean. A friend of mine just had a baby at 43 - I'm thrilled for her, but I can't imagine chasing a toddler at the age of 45. It tires me out to think of it LOL <br/><br/>Thanks for the link - I just had a look, it's a great blog. I shall have a longer read, it would be useful to find to about the realities and practicalities. <br/><br/><br/>Attila - thank you! And a premature HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you :-) I live quite a distance from London, but if you did come over I think I could make it down for the day, and I would love to toast you on reaching the big 40.

Maybe I'll take that trip to London I've been promising myself and we can meet up and share a birthday drink! ;-) Happy Birthday, Kate!

Mostly I only think about my age when I see it mentioned elsewhere, attached to someone else. Like when you see someinth in the newspaper and they say "So and so, (40) was in court this week..." and you think bloody hell, I could have gone to school with them.<br/><br/>As for the grandchildren, I already have 2 and it'll be another 10 or 15 years before my youngest leaves home. But I feel sorry for all these people who don't start their family until they're in their 40s - I cannot imagine where they would get the energy to cope with it all.

And, yes, 40 is better than the alternative - being 41! tee hee<br/><br/><br/>Pete - yes, that is the thing. In your late 30s you can still kid yourself that you are 'young'. Once you hit 40, it's fact, you are middle aged, and that sounds worse than old LOL <br/><br/><br/>Glennia - I'm sure you wouldn't be a crochety Granny - one of my grandmothers was in her 60s when I was born, and she was a lot of fun. And she always had time to spend with me because she was retired. I suppose every age has it's challenges and compensations. Steg – I know just what you mean.

I'm one who waited to have kids, so the thing I regret about that is not being able to be the fun gran--likely will be "crotchety gran" by the time they come along. Sorry I missed your birthday!

It was always something for other people. However given that we get older every day until we die, being 40 is far better than the alternative! I never imagined being 40.
