How did you celebrate your 30th birthday?

Ovalteenie · 04/02/13 - 22:51

I am thinking of buying myself something nice that will last a lifetime to mark this milestone, & to cheer myself up

I am thinking of splashing out on a new expensive watch, or a fancy fountain pen.

I should also finally change my username as I was still a teenager when I first joined DS in 2001 but I don't think it's possible anymore

I went to Dublin with my husband for mine, and had a girly night out with my mates the weekend after.

I didn't mind turning 30 at all, I definetly didn't feel compelled to buy an expensive fountain pen!!

Ovalteenie · 04/02/13 - 22:56

I just need an excuse

James Frederick · 04/02/13 - 22:56

Nothing at all just spent it like a normal day I can't even remember it really

cjsmummy · 04/02/13 - 22:58

I went out for a meal with the OH, then a few of us got together and got drunk.:o:D

Blackadder V · 04/02/13 - 22:59

It was my 30th this month. The most I got persuaded to do was get an Indian take away and put on a film of my choice. I never want to make a big deal of my birthdays, not even the significant ones.

Get a watch! You know you're getting old when you find yourself needing a fountain pen

what's up with a Bic?! That's what I had to ask myself

Ovalteenie · 04/02/13 - 23:00

But are you not sad at the passing of youth... ?

Do I need to change my wardrobe, throw out the t-shirts & jeans, and buy some Farah instead?

Pirates and ninjas fancy dress party. Can't believe that was over a decade ago now... well, I kind of can, because I don't remember any of it very well.

Flat Matt · 04/02/13 - 23:01

I ended up with a "surprise" meal in a pub that I knew all about.

Miss XYZ · 04/02/13 - 23:02

I went for a meal with my family, and also had a night out with friends.

Elanor · 04/02/13 - 23:02

I honestly can't remember! I doubt I did anything, but I have absolutely no idea what I did. I was probably working - my birthday is the start of term and I work in education.

Ovalteenie · 04/02/13 - 23:03

my birthday is actually not till next month but I'm feeling it already

NewExample · 04/02/13 - 23:04

Just go out and get yourself some nice outfits, and get a few of you together and get some cheap flights, and party in the sun! Make the most of it. 30 isn't old anyway

and what's farah?

Ovalteenie · 04/02/13 - 23:05

Farah is a brand of clothing worn by old men

Caldari · 04/02/13 - 23:06

Hot dogs, pizza and beer in NYC.

NewExample · 04/02/13 - 23:07

My daughter is 30 on Valentines day she is having a big party. She was in a relationship for many years and it all went wrong - as a lot of her friends have had weddings I think she sees this as an opportunity to have a 'bit if a do' herself.

I'm looking forward to it.

I went away to a riverside lodge with hot tub with my other half and a couple of close friends and turned 30 in peace. I hate the expectation to do something big for birthdays.
