I'm turning 30 soon and so was wanting to ask if any of you 30+ ladies had anything you wish you'd done before you were 30?

Definately finished my degree and done a bit of travelling to far away places!

travelling and partying hard, I had my first son at 18 and sometimes feel I have missed out on a lot

Relaxed and stopped worrying about achieving certain things by certain ages.

Sorry, an obvious thing to say, but I actually think I married my first husband because I thought I ought to be married by around 25, rather than because there was any reason to do so - i'm not just dismissing this for the sake of it!

learnt another language fluently, apart from english!

Wish I'd learned to sail as I'm now a petrified old gipper on all fronts and lack my former spirit of adventure.

I wish I'd done more, and planned less.

Gone to New York. Without kids.
I intend to go in my second youth when they've all left home now

The New York thing has been going round in my head actually. It's the sort of place I imagine would be best to go to when relatively young.

I'll be 30 in 24 days and the only thing I wish I had done is lose weight!

Helium · 25/02/2010 14:23

Also an almost 30-here!!

Lose weight - will second that.

Realise that actually I was quite nice looking when I was (slightly) younger and it really is only ever going to go downhill so make the most of what you have now!! (e.g wear short skirts/risque clothes etc)

Cut hair short in a mad style and put bright blonde/red/purple etc in it and looked funky rather than WIERD...!!

Make lots of references to myself as being in my twenties/a twenty something etc!!

Happy Birthday!
