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

Anyone celebrating today ?

Happy birthday Shysal. Don't worry about the diet - didn't you know that anything you eat on your birthday is automatically calorie free? grin
Enjoy the rest of your day winecupcakeflowers

Had to go to the post office this morning, and pay £1.11 to collect a birthday card from my DD with the wrong stamp!

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.

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

shysal Mon 15-Jun-15 09:14:07

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

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.
