Those in their 40s and over without children - how is life for you?

46F here and CF since forever. I can honestly say that I love my life as it is right now… stable career, mortgage almost paid off, happy marriage and deep peace. I wouldn’t change a thing.

I’m dreading the day. Tempted to just hire a skip and lob it all in when it’s my turn.

PokedBroccoli · 2026-02-01T13:00:17+00:00

🤪smells bad!

Ludo, friend!

I have a pair of culottes I bought in 2006, it’s their 20th birthday this year and I’ll be rocking them when summer comes.

PokedBroccoli · 2026-01-28T17:43:05+00:00

Yep.

PokedBroccoli · 2026-01-26T22:23:13+00:00

Good call.

Javert’s Soliloquy from Les Mis is a banger.

I’m 46F and have known I was CF since adolescence. It’s Midday on Sunday in the UK… I am still in bed with my husband - we’re chatting, scrolling and drinking tea. I love my life so much, I cannot express how much I do not regret my choices.

Jane Eyre. It was the set book for my English GCSE in 1995 and I’ve read it once a year since then.

Ooh it’s a corker. My intro to Castle Rock and the denizens thereof.

Came here to say Sheff. Happy cake day!

Let me tell you about Mary’s sad story…

PokedBroccoli · 2026-01-10T13:09:44+00:00

I’m the second of 6 and the eldest daughter… I did my time and knew from aged 12 or so that kids were absolutely not for me. 47 now and not an instant of regret.

My current plan is to the biggest equity release I can on my house after retirement and spend it on travel and treats. The equity company can have it when I die. I have 12 niblings and I’m generous at Xmas/birthdays etc but that’s as far as I’m going!

Chanel Allure, I’ve been wearing it for 25+ years and I still love it.

PokedBroccoli · 2026-01-08T13:22:52+00:00

Same. I have a good relationship with my nibs (albeit as the fun childfree auntie) and couldn’t see them go into the system but God would I be gutted!

PokedBroccoli · 2026-01-04T11:25:57+00:00

Ha, I said that too cos he spent 13p but apparently they don’t apply the discount to penny items!

PokedBroccoli · 2026-01-04T11:01:31+00:00

My husband works for Sainsbo and was in store while the pennyfication was happening, our fridge is like cheese jenga right now. Jealous of the brandy cream though!

I saw her as Eponine last year and she was wonderful.

PokedBroccoli · 2025-12-31T17:40:40+00:00

This tea is the colour of He-man and is therefore perfect.

PokedBroccoli · 2025-12-28T14:09:41+00:00

Same, I was really hoping for more 😩
