I'm contemplating cleaning the venetian blinds

Your pregnant!
Last time I got a mad urge to clean window coverings, I went into labour!

I sold my car.

 

[slowmotion]

I bought a road bike and cast off my mudguards.
I bought a retro cycle cap....but looked in the mirror and chucked it away.
I gave permission for the lady who cuts my hair to attack my eyebrows with a pair of scissors, but I didn't ask for gel.
I stopped smoking, and taking anything very seriously at all.

The chains look a bit slack.

I've just fitted a fake leather steering wheel cover to my car (to try and preserve what's left of the worn original). Do I qualify? Thinking about a nodding dog for the back window!

No - that's just being middle aged

To show a bit of class, get a box of tissues to put in the back window. Most of the Rolls Royces that I see seem to have them, Lord knows why.

Not sure it was my wifes 'mid-life crisis', not mine, but she bought a Jaguar XKR, as a early 40th birthday present (2008)

it certainly wasn't a car I'd ever considered, as much as they look good, & the V8 sounds reasonable
When she was looking for something, I took the opportunity & test-drove a few TVRs (Chimera, Griffith, & a Cerbera), to this day I wish I could have talked her into the 4.2 (the 'baby') Cerbera I looked at

We had it for about 3 & 1/2 years, but it only covered about 8,000 miles in that time
A few local boy-racers learnt, by humiliation, to keep out of her way, when she was driving it

For the original question though 'How did (or will) you celebrate you mid life crisis?'

Is there anyone who is actually planning on having one? Any particular Birthday picked out yet? Or if you're planning on buying sports car/bike/forming a band does that mean you're actually having it now, but then might go off the idea by the time you actually reach that point? Is the planning the same as having it but cheaper?

Not sure it will qualify as a crisis, but next year I plan on cycling in Thailand for 3 weeks with my birthday in the middle. It will beat sitting crying into a beer at home

I have just reviewed my life for the last few years and realised that in fact I have had a long drawn out crisis regarding the buying toys aspects. I have had a variety of silly toys over the years including Porsches, Westfields, Shotguns, Canoes, Bikes, more Bikes, Parachutes, Flying Lessons, Boats. These all include doing silly things. I think that is the best way to do it - rather than having a meltdown, spluging all the money in one go and running off with the receptionist.

Tuned Impreza STI and a load of tattoos

Now just bikes and enjoying my personal time.
