This week in her regular weekly column, Flaming Nora takes you to the other side of being 40 and reveals her top 10 things that no-one will tell you about reaching the big four-oh.
Ladies, brace yourselves. If you’re still in your twenties or thirties, there are things you need to know about reaching 40. Actually reaching 40 isn’t that bad, in fact it’s pretty good. There’s a party for a start, and all those presents too! But listen up and take advice from one who knows. I’ll be 43 soon and strange things are happening to my body and my mind. Click through below where I reveal the top 10 things that no-one, not even your best friend, will tell you about what really happens when you hit your forties.
Top 10 things nobody tells you about hitting your 40s
1. You will grow hairs on your chin.
2. You will grow hairs from your nose.
3. But happily, not from your ears.
4. You will look at Dr Scholl sandals with a smile on your face.
5. You will wake up in the morning with a twinge in your hip that disappears after breakfast.
6. You will go to sleep at night with a twinge in your knee that disappears by morning.
7. Your periods will start playing hide and seek
8. Not only will policemen start to look young, but everyone on TV will look like they’re fresh out of school.
9. You’ll develop an affection for a BBC newsreader. Mine is currently Hugh Pym.
10. You’ll defend any attack against Terry Wogan. This is the most worrying symptom of them all. [Flaming Nora]
