I have noticed many of us are 70 this year. Let's have a party.

Perhaps you could give your d o b and what you are bringing to the party.

27 September 1946
Very large bottle of champagne

Over to you

No thank you GandT I saw enough wrinkled skin when my H got stuck in the bath 2 weeks ago ?.

If this is to be a virtual party, I'm sure us men would be up for supplying the cabaret (any one got a peaked cap ?)

trendygran Mon 01-Aug-16 15:37:02

Will be there in December .Very happy to join a party! Will.bring an old fashioned sherry trifle as it will be. almost Christmas,.

Christinefrance Mon 01-Aug-16 15:17:15

How about the Full Monty? The cabaret not us. Got to be full skirt with sugared petticoats and nylons .Drainpipe trousers and brothel creepers for the men .

24th September 1948 so I have a couple of years to go - I'll bring one of my famous lokshen puddings to have as a dessert.

DH was 70 in June so can we come I am a spring chicken at 63- I will bring food and wine.

NanKate Mon 01-Aug-16 14:51:21

I like the idea of entertainment. Most 60s groups would suit me, being an old rock and roller.

Now what shall we wear ? Any favourites from our 'yooth' and let's pretend we can still fit in them. Well perhaps some of us still can, but the short skirts and drainpipe trousers might reveal a bit too much.blush

I'm still 70 from last September. May I come? I'll bring a wheel of Brie,gruyere tartlets and my melon balls with prawns in watercress mayonnaise in a melon . How Seventies is that?

nonnasusie Mon 01-Aug-16 13:45:25

My birthday's Sept 1948 (DH is Feb '47) I'll bring some homemade wine and limoncello.

Falconbird Mon 01-Aug-16 13:39:12

Or The Kinks, or Ray Davis on his own.

Falconbird Mon 01-Aug-16 13:36:51

A cabaret is a brilliant idea - how about a Beatles Tribute Band or The Stones live, bit too expensive I guess.

sylviann Mon 01-Aug-16 13:20:38

I'm a March 1947 baby I'll bring a selection of savouries

Christinefrance Mon 01-Aug-16 12:33:51

Lots of sweet stuff already so paella and sticky ribs from me. Can't believe where the years have gone especially when I have to scroll further and further down to find 1946 when giving birth year.
Are we having a cabaret too ?

I had my 70th last April and my family and friends gave me a great time. I had several celebrations over a few weeks (interrupted by two weeks jury duty just before my 70th!).

I was bought champagne and still have two bottles left but don't expect me to contribute that!!!!!!!!!!

KatyK Mon 01-Aug-16 10:37:10

DH will bring gin grin

annsixty Mon 01-Aug-16 10:33:07

I am bringing two large quiches . I make a mean quiche. One traditional and one smoked salmon.

cangran Mon 01-Aug-16 10:31:09

Great idea! I was 70 on 7th June. Instead of a party, I've been having on-going special treats to celebrate - holiday in Jersey with family, dinner cruise on the Thames, tea parties and on Saturday I have tickets with three friends to see 'Jersey Boys' which my daughter kindly gave me!

I am veggie and will think of something nice to bring (but it won't involve goat's cheese - yuk!).

Where have the last 10 years gone??

Bellanonna Mon 01-Aug-16 10:14:37

Ah well if Ann and Gaga are going, may I come too (1940). I do have a few memories, I.e. Sirens and all-clears and the shelter. I'll bring something nice to eat, not sure yet what.

wot Mon 01-Aug-16 10:01:33

Shysal , not abysmal!!!!! Rotten iPad!

wot Mon 01-Aug-16 10:00:13

Thanks abysmal!?

KatyK Mon 01-Aug-16 09:58:13

I'm not there yet but I'll send DH along as he was 70 earlier this year.

NanKate Mon 01-Aug-16 08:49:25

You are very welcome Gagagran

Don't worry about the washing up I am hiring staff to do that for us. grin

Lancashire cheese and fruit cake, I am already drooling Iam64.

shysal Mon 01-Aug-16 08:34:31

Happy birthday wot flowers

Gagagran Mon 01-Aug-16 08:34:21

DH and I are both War Babies too but don't remember the war at all. I feel much more part of the post-war boomers generation as that's when I grew up.

(If I can come to the party I will willingly do the washing up)

Falconbird Mon 01-Aug-16 07:38:51

annsixty - Do come.

My cousins were born in the 1930s. Our experiences are similar in some ways and very different in others. I love hearing my cousins talking about life during the war. My dh (sadly passed away) was born in 1944 and technically was a War Baby and not a Boomer. For some reason he was very pleased about that.
