Not everyone is remembered on their birthday, so I thought it would be good to have a birthday thread. smile

Anyone celebrating today ?

It is my birthday today as well whenim64I am 71.

I have had a much better birthday than last years my 70th. My DS2 and his wife chose that day to tell me that their marriage had ended.

Today I have spent the day with family, my two youngest DGC have visited and I will see my DGD2 and her baby my 7 month old great grandson tomorrow.
My DS1 who rarely contacts us phoned me from where he lives in Leicester. My DGD1 who lives in London visited me at the weekend and I will also see DGD3 tomorrow.

Happy birthday to you Whenim64 and all others celebrating today.

Many Happy Returns to you Coolgran. Have a great time cupcake

One of my presents was a CD - The Very Best of Bob Dylan. I'm going to enjoy playing that this morning whilst I'm driving here and there. smile

A birthday for me as well today. 68 - just another number grin

A friend has left a message on facebook to say she's popping round this evening so I'm off to Aldi for some bubbly and nibbles. No doubt DD and the boys will join us so they'd better be large nibbles!!

Happy birthday, pink princess and Coolgran wine cupcake

Happy birthday to all who celebrated birthdays in the last week. May, June and July are all crazy months for birthdays in my family (a very large family I might add).
Yesterday evening we hosted a champagne party to welcome our preemie granddaughter who, although born in mid March, was actually only due this weekend. It was lovely to Skype them in NZ and brilliant that my son in law's father and sister joined us too (his sister had a three hour journey to join us and it was only a slightly quicker journey to return home at the end of the evening - impressive commitment). I was shocked to discover that my son in law's family haven't Skyped or Facetimed and so were seeing the baby for the first time.

grannya a lovely way to celebrate your dgd's untimely arrival, I hope she is well on the way to being a bonny bouncing babe. flowers

Thank you all for the birthday wishes, I've had a lovely morning with friends and DS and my dgd sunshine

I am 69 today. Oh dear, that means I am now in my 70th year!
Had a great lunch at DD2 and family's yesterday, including a banana toffee marshmallow cake for dessert, it was yummy! This evening I am off to Oxy Oriental for a buffet meal with DD1 and other GCs. I usually diet on alternate days, so that has gone to pot!
Happy birthday to anyone who also celebrates today. cupcake

Lona Mon 15-Jun-15 09:22:08

Happy birthday shysal cupcakeflowers wine glad you're making the most of it!
Doesn't "70th year" sound old? I'll just have to ignore it from now on! grin

annsixty Mon 15-Jun-15 09:37:51

Happy Birthday shysal.
Family are doing you proud, enjoy it. flowers

NanKate Mon 15-Jun-15 12:27:03

Happy 69th Shysal I will be catching you up in September.

I have decided to make a bucket list of things I want to do in my 70th birthday year and hand it to DH in the expectation that some of them will be accomplished. You could start doing this today Shysal.
