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

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

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

DH will bring gin grin

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!!!!!!!!!!

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 ?

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

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

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.

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

Or The Kinks, or Ray Davis on his own.

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

Stansgran Mon 01-Aug-16 13:52:21

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?

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

Teetime Mon 01-Aug-16 14:56:33

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

Margsus Mon 01-Aug-16 15:06:45

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.

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 .

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,.

GandTea Mon 01-Aug-16 15:39:00

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 ?)

annsixty Mon 01-Aug-16 16:30:24

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

Gagagran Mon 01-Aug-16 16:42:04

Can I come with my hair in a backcombed beehive? Dusty Springfield style? That's how I used to do it when I was in my prime! Took all Saturday to get ready for the evening. Happy days!

Nonnie Mon 01-Aug-16 16:46:22

I think my father was demobbed in August 1945!

I am told I make the best meringues in the world but someone has already said they are bringing those so I'll go for second best and make a huge mound of profiteroles filled with cream and covered in chocolate. For one day we can forget the calories. Of course I'll bring the obligatory champagne too! I'll enjoy all that cheese you are bringing.

Yes, we should dress as they do in Dreamboats and Petticoats.

numberplease Mon 01-Aug-16 17:37:36

I can`t come either, I was 73 in June. I`ll send you some home made pickles though, onions and red cabbage.

NanKate Mon 01-Aug-16 22:03:31

All welcome Numberplease

Nana3 Mon 01-Aug-16 22:34:45

I can't come either I was born in 49, someone called me a spring chicken today. I can supply the wine though, no charge.

NanKate Tue 02-Aug-16 07:05:45

If you bring the wine Nana3 you have an invitation grin

kittylester Tue 02-Aug-16 07:30:14

Well, if Nana3 is coming, I'm coming too - I was also born in 1949! I'll bring a huge prawn cocktail and beef stroganoff, for old time's sake.

dh was born in 1945 and his younger brother in 48. His father was in a reserved occupation so I don't know why he went home and had babies hmm. They already had sons born in 1938 and 1940

Christinefrance Tue 02-Aug-16 09:01:56

Don't forget the question - 'Are you dancing ? Are you asking ?
Felt quite the thing smoking trendy Consulate menthol cigarettes

Christinefrance Tue 02-Aug-16 09:03:37

Grandtea just seen your post, sure I have a peaked cap for you, start practising
