Sorry you didn't have the birthday you'd hoped for Emsgran, is there any chance that you'll be meeting up with friends or family later in the week to have a small celebration? these are for you.
Happy belated birthday Emsgran I m sorry you are feeling sad, birthdays aren't always the best nor Christmas I don't know what else to say we can't make up for what you are missing xx
Belated birthday wishes from me, too, emsgran. I hope you were able to do something for yourself today, if not you must tomorrow. It's hard when 'special' days seem to be overlooked. Be good to yourself. Here are more .
Can you give yourself a birthday treat. Is there anything that you've fancied for ages. What about a pair of really comfy but funky shoes/trainers. Or perhaps make yourself an afternoon tea treat time, ( invite someone to join you if you'd like ).... tea in a China cup with a few nice sandwiches and pastries. You could have it with a magazine or book you'd really enjoy. Or a film you really want to see.
Book yourself a back massage or a facial, perhaps just a visit to the chiropodist.
It has to be something to make you feel good and that you don't normally do in your routine day.
Thanks everyone, just need to add that I had visits and flowers etc from my 3 children. Just feeling bad at my lack of friends. Been reading these forums for a while and only just plucked up the courage to write. Hopefully make some new friendships on here
Belated birthday wishes to you both, Emsgran and DanniRae. I felt a bit the same on my birthday last month, only receiving 5 cards. Hope you won't mind sharing this cake.
That is so nice of you shysal - Thank You very much. I am going to have a slice with a cup of tea in a minute - was going to say later this afternoon but can't wait that long!!
I don't get many cards either but am quite an introvert and not terribly sociable! So long as my husband and sons send one, I am quite happy. Happy Birthday to you!
Join Facebook I get about 60 messages from friends far and wide. It really cheers me up as my birthday itself isn't that special as my children live so far away.
