Jennifer Aniston can’t wait to turn 40 – because it means she can wave goodbye to the last decade of heartache.

The former Friends star – who celebrates the big 4-0 on February 11 – normally dreads birthdays but says this year she will be glad to start afresh.

She says, “I just want to have fun this year. I see my life in decades. This one feels worthy of some fun because I feel like I’m getting through a decade that was… let’s just say I’m ready to say ‘See ya!’ to this last one.”

Aniston – whose on/off relationship with singer John Mayer is under constant press scrutiny – recently blasted the media for ruining her love life.

She said, “It’s not fun. You could end the date and shake hands with them and realize it doesn’t work, and all of a sudden you’re a new couple.

“I think it’s the same as high school or inter-office dating. It’s the same feeling. What we deal with is strange and surreal, but the emotions are the same as anyone.”
