Didn't like 39 particularly but apart from that, can't think of a 'good' one unless I count the years I had the girls. Unfortunately I think I've got to the age when every year previous is seen through the rose tints :lol: Crap stuff has happened but hasn't made the whole year bad.

Sorry, doing my serious reply to a lighthearted question again. Must stop doing that :unsure::rofl:

I would have to say this is my best year so far (i'm 26) I am more honest with myself and with others and for the time I have actually enjoyed being single and living my own life. Hopefully this won't be the best in my entire life as i'm looking forward to an even better year when i move to Oz in 2009!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!! I hope you have a good one!

Well, I have been 24 for almost the past 36 years so I guess that was a good year for me (got married when I was 24). Not looking forward to turning 60 at all but I will be in UK with my folk at the time and maybe one of them will send me to Paris for the day just for the hell of it. OTOH I will begin to get seniors discounts so cant be all bad!

Hi!! Happy Birthday!!
18 when I finished my A-levels and headed off to the smoke!. 36 was good as its the year I jacked in work and went travelling, 40 cos Id just arrived here a month before (30 for some reason was awful)... and I have a sneaky feeling 2009 will be a winner!......:rofl:

I loved my 32nd year! Made a load of new friends, shed about 2 stone in weight and got a fab job...

Now... remind me why I left there?????? :confused:

Am 37 next year.. tis my "scary age"... always felt like when I get to 37 I was a grown up... oh well, still have 8 more months of being a teenager :D

At 16 I started to earn some money and buy records when I wanted rather than saving for months, and started going to the pub.
At 18 I went to uni and had some real fun.
At 32 my brother died:(
At 36 I emigrated to Aus, made many great friends and took up some great hobbies.

Turning 30 didn't bother me, although I had a wobble at 29. I'm 39 this year and again having a mixture of "do it all while you still can" / "time to start looking after yourself a bit more" thoughts so that I will be ready for 40 in March.

Don't sweat it mate :-)

As for mid-life crises, it's best to manage them in bite-sized installments. Have a little one once a week ;-)

Oh definitely 31, that was a corker! I'd had a really crap year in 2000. I'd been mugged, beaten up, abused, etc in Germany.

At 31 (2001) I met my wife in Melbourne and its been a fun rollercoaster ever since
