Oh to be 62 again - you are a very lucky spring chicken!

Happy birthday. I was speaking to a friend last year and she said 'I'll be 68 this year and I'm going to start looking for somewhere fabulous to go when I'm 70'. I said 'well you'd better get a move on then because you'll be 69 this year not 68'. 'No I won't' she said. I told her she was, as she is a year older than me and I know how old I am! She rang me later that day and said 'I can't believe you are right, I don't know what I was thinking'.

Haha!
A mistake anyone could make, if they live in a remote corner of the Outer Hebrides, have no tv or internet or newpapers or a calendar or diary.grin
You do live there don’t you cookie?

Actually, I thought for a while ( on my last birthday) that I was a year younger than I was. blush

I have been looking forward to celebrating my 62nd birthday on Monday, only to find that my birthday is actually tomorrow !
I have absolutely no idea how I got the days wrong, but I did, and I discovered my mistake via the date on an email that I received today. Is this the thin end of the wedge? Am I losing my cough drops at last ?
Best bit is, my partner was as surprised as I was when I told him.
Hey Ho, the Queen can have two birthdays, so perhaps I can too.
