40 Things To Do Before You’re 40 – Part 2

Inspired by new movie 'This Is 40', we're looking at 40 things you should do before you're putting 40 candles on the cake...

Rebecca McKnight

New movie ‘This Is 40’ hits Irish cinemas this week and in the sort-of sequel to ‘Knocked Up’ Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann’s characters are confronting the realities that come with life in your forties. Before you get there, we’ve compiled a list of forty things your really should do, before life begins again at the big Four-O. 

________________________

1. Go to the opera.

2. Ditto for the ballet.

3. Brave a Whitney number at a karaoke bar.

4. Learn how to drive, even if you live in a city where you don’t need a car.

5. Go surfing.

6. Go fishing.

7. Get your girls together for a week of fun in the sun.

8. Keep a plant alive for more than a month.

9. Host a dinner party for at least six people.

10. Splash out and buy a really fancy bottle of wine. You deserve it, and you can go back to the €6 bottle next time.
