How did you feel turning 40?

I turn 40 in a couple of weeks and I’m starting to feel a bit wobbly about it! I’m not really a Birthday fan anymore so I don’t want a massive celebration but feel I should mark it somehow otherwise I ll regret it, but I just don’t feel adult enough to be 40! Feel I’m missing simple tricks to make most of things more rather than being on mumsnet on a Saturday afternoon for example! Does anyone else relate?!

This. I'm 40 next month and see it as a milestone. On top of not putting up with bs and knowing myself I'm so proud of what I've achieved in my life so far, and the 40s bring so much fun with the kids. I'm settled, stable, healthy and able to still enjoy physical activity. Super excited.
I have a lifetime plan for how i envisage each decade, the 50s bring early retirement and travelling and again, super excited. The mistake people make is not planning ahead and just drifting.

I absolutely agree 🙌🏻
