40th birthday

I’m 40 next month, in the same boat.

So far I’m leaning towards 1 of 2 options.

1) Nice watch, something that will stay with me over the years and have sentimental value.

2) Cheaper watch and a new digital camera.



3) wildcard - 5090 to collect dust.

1)..

2 and 3 will not age well and not be as sentimental.

How nice are we talking?

I don’t own a watch so we aren’t talking mega.

Men's 556 A RS 38.5mm H-Link Automatic Watch

Striking form, sparse dial design, superior readability – characteristic SINN features which highlight the similarities between the 556 series and our pilot and navigation cockpit clocks.The accentuation of the hours, minutes, seconds and the date plus the satinized stainless steel case are what...

But I’m massively indecisive so maybe a watch isn’t a good idea for me. Can’t sell it on MM.

I also don't like presents... Which Is lucky as I don't usually get anything.

I'd like some time though! :D

Yep we've stopped buying material presents unless there's real desire or we'd need a larger house. Instead we give experience/craft days - like blacksmithing knives, or making rings at a jeweller craft day etc. Stain glass and a few others are on the list.

Experiences over junk for me now too.
Got a microlight experience last year for my birthday

Going to Japan. I'd be happy with a £20 Argos gift voucher, a pot noodle and a blowie, but nobody needs to know that.

Happy 40th - make the most of it as you will soon find out 60 is only 20 yrs away.

I have past my 2nd 40th and if I had known then on the first one I would have asked for cash.

I would buy myself a moblity scooter but a posh one -Saw bloke on one in morrisons a few yrs ago and it was as big as a small quad bike - Cowhorn handle bars with leather tassles - pair of leather paniers on back with tassles -spot lights -horns - a real hells angel..

Next stock up on underpants -one day the wife will say "I am not WASHING" those. bin em and get new pair out.
Vasline - the day is coming when you are sitting there squeezing your head and a blob on your finger pushed up is great relief.

Stock loo rolls as you will be wiping both sides -if not you get that wet patch at front.

Also get a small hair trimmer as you will find you will be unable to find uncle dick in the undergrowth.

Find what clothes you like and buy loads as you tend to wear the same things day in day out.

Now good stuff -Stock up on your spirits -Whiskey/brandy vodka etc because you will find your pension goes up by single figures but inflation goes up double figures.

I do hope this has helped you all - These are the things your parents never tell you what is just around the corner.

20 yrs goes by in a flash.

Once again Happy birthday to everyone who has reached the magic downhill number. They never called me Mr Happy for nothing.
