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

Anyone celebrating today ?

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 for yesterday, PinkPrincess. I'm glad you had a good day - me too! cupcake

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

Happy Birthday all.

All the male side of our family have their birthdays in June. My DH, his bro, his late dad, our son his FinL. 3 of my friends.

Anyone else notice a number of birthdays in one month?

Coolgran65 Fri 12-Jun-15 00:49:13

I am 46 minutes into my birthday and just going to bed. 66 today. My sis in law shares the same date and the 4 of us are going out for dinner.

pinkprincess Fri 12-Jun-15 00:07:21

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.

Happy birthday when you don't look a day over 64!! flowerscupcakewine Have a lovely day lsmile

whenim64 Thu 11-Jun-15 09:29:39

64 again today grin. I've got a birthday tea to look forward to and my 6 year old grandsons have made me a cake. I've been told I should act as though I know nothing about it as they want to present it to me when I take them home from school, before mum gets in. Should I be scared? I have visions of them deciding to light candles and fishing a big, sharp knife out to cut it whilst I'm sat there with my eyes closed. grin

Thanks so much for all your birthday wishes grin .

I don't know about you, but when I read about the various "traits" of a Gemini...half of me thinks "yep, that's me" and the other half thinks" oh no definitely not !!" so there you go........split personality ..but that part is really true...for me personally ... up one minute, down the next. Bit of a butterfly mind flitting from one thing to another. I get easily bored and have absolutely no patience...often in a hurry, but a real lazy bones too. I often am contradictory..say one thing, but get swayed by others' opinions often.

Hey ho....off to enjoy the doggies now, Anyone else like greyhounds ? I am totally hooked !! (NOT the racing though sad )

Lona Tue 09-Jun-15 09:34:51

shysal I can be the life and soul for about 3 minutes, then I get bored!
I always see both sides of an argument, so my friends all think I'm very wise.

whenim64 Tue 09-Jun-15 09:07:54

Happy Birthday, sheena. A lovely day for it - flowers

whenim64 Tue 09-Jun-15 09:06:52

Another one here - mine's on the 11th. I think I'll be 64 again grin

shysal Tue 09-Jun-15 09:05:04

Happy birthday Sheena, enjoy your day. I am a Gemini too, June 15th '46. I have read that we are thought to be the life and soul of the party. That couldn't be further from the truth for me, but I do usually see both sides of an argument (split personality?). cupcake

cazthebookworm Tue 09-Jun-15 09:03:50

Yes, lets hear it for the Gemini's, happy birthday Sheena. cupcake

Marmight Tue 09-Jun-15 08:04:03

Happy birthday Sheena. Have a great day! cupcake

Lona Tue 09-Jun-15 07:59:14

Sheena Happy birthday! cupcake
As you said on another thread , we may be nearly long lost twins, I'm a Gemini too!
My birthday is on Saturday 69 I'll be a tad older than you!

Have a good day sunshine

Sheena Tue 09-Jun-15 07:37:36

Me !! today !!....Have I got a Gemini twin out there somewhere ?

I am now officially 66 ...no, can't be confused ! but if I was born in 1949...then yep ! I guess that's right....66 ...my goodness where on earth have all those years gone !

cazthebookworm Mon 08-Jun-15 10:05:45

Thanks everyone for the good wishes. I had a brilliant day thanks to my lovely friend who, although a busy working wife and mother, always finds time to spoil her friends. A very special lady.

AshTree Mon 08-Jun-15 08:16:47

Sorry that was meant to be your DH, NanKate, not you. Though I'm sure you enjoyed it too wink

AshTree Mon 08-Jun-15 08:15:59

Hope you had a great birthday Caz. Certainly sounds as if you did, NanKate grin

NanKate Mon 08-Jun-15 06:46:19

Hope you had a successful and happy birthday weekend Caz.

My DH organised the games and entertainment for his own 70 with the approval of the two GSs 4 and 2 which included a Minion themed birthday tea, a water fight with water pistols, bouncing on the neighbours trampoline, and a game of rounders. Also sausage chips and chocolate birthday cake.

When they finally left our house looked as if a bomb had hit it.

Still recovering. brew
