Birthday
Birthday
So it's my birthday in two weeks.
Wife asked me this morning what I want. I said 'Nothing, get something for the garden instead you'll enjoy'.
Silence
Then she said 'Well we have to do something, it's your big five o'.
I said 'WHAT? Doing the maths in my head because I literally had forgot how old I'll be and came to 48.
She's literally wishing my life away.
Anyone else have another half who already has a spade ready and has your life insurance policy at the ready?
I may act like a cantankerous 70 year old and probably look it but bloody hell

Re: Birthday
I once had a year when literally everybody forgot my birthday, I didn’t get one card... I honestly wasn’t bothered and as a result everybody now goes over the top which I hate
I’m happy to have a nice meal with my Mrs and children and a few beers with my mates or Dad

Re: Birthday
I don't celebrate them and haven't done for years but I have to admit. When the wife added two years to my age today. It got me thinking I should. She doesn't half watch a lot of crime/murder shows on TV.

Next month is another milestone when my Bus Pass and Pension finally become available after being robbed of a year. I did get my Senior Season Ticket last year but guess how much use I've had out of that one?

Re: Birthday
I don't know about wishing my life away but it has always worried me that Mr. spades introduces me as his first wife - "Meet xxx, my first wife."

Many happy returns for the other day. Talking of Facebook. I called my best mate last night to wish him a Happy Birthday.Nonayforever wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 6:51 pmIt was my birthday a couple of days ago, i received cards gifts etc etc from family, but someone told me that i had loads of messages on Facebook.

I said 'I apologise I haven't messaged you Happy Birthday on Facebook. I don't go on much these days'
He said 'Good job you didn't mate. My birthday is in November'.

Re: Birthday
Not celebrating your birthday's one thing, but choosing not to 'have' any more is not a good thing; have you called the Samaritans?

Re: Birthday
In my mind I read it as you didn't want to accept it. I stopped accepting I was any older than 30. (Does maths) Ermmm stopped accepting 18 years ago

Re: Birthday
I’m not surprised most folk use facebook with the price of a card and postage. It also works as a wake up call for those that forgot.
Daughter was pestering me to update my Amazon wishlist for mine next week. Claret Store is my Amazon so a club face mask and home goalies jersey it is. Been told to cover up by doctor so long sleeves it has to be.

I have two items in my Amazon saved. That table cricket game (test Match) that used to have a batsman with a bat shaped like a vacuum cleaner and a book that retails at around £80. World History.
Maybe I'll nudge the missus over to Amazon before my 52nd next year.

Re: Birthday
A friend of mine is a year and a day older than me. I do enjoy that one day each year when he’s two years older.

Open your item and down the right hand side is a dropbox “add to list”. Just create a new list and add the item to it. See photo below.
When anybody asks what you want for your birthday it’s “check me wish list”
