Birthdays

Does anyone else totally hate them? Not sure I really want a day long reminder that I’m getting older and so is everyone else. I feel like it gets worse every year.

Nope, I love birthdays.

I feel you. Not a fan.

Another reminder that you're still here is not to be sniffed at.

I don't mind a Haby Birtdoy

I dont care much for mine anymore....60 next year....having the party at the crem!

I don't mind the fact I'm getting older, but I don't really care about my birthday nor do I like parties for my birthday. Being centre of attention just isn't me.

Going to other people's is good though.

They involve cake, so all in favour of them!

I find that decent cake makes any crap occasion passable.

Yeah I'm not a fan either

It's the first day i book off every year, either book a nice holiday or go for a nice dinner. Good excuse to treat yo self.

What I hate more is the people who insist on celebrating it, buying presents, making a big deal of it, and who then get all upset when you remind them (for at least the 20th time that year) that you REALLy don't want anything to do with it.

Same here.

Few beers with my mates with no mention of my birthday is perfect for me.

I always have the day off work and just have a “do what the **** I want” day.
So yeah, they’re cool.

Not really into the whole presents thing though.

Yep, first day I book when I go back to work after Christmas. My age doesn't bother me in the least.

Just another day. I prefer other people's birthdays.

Having a birthday in Jan is pants. Lousy weather, no theme parks and most other attractions aren’t open. People are skint or forgotten about birthdays. A former colleague said his birthday on NYD is the worst. As people say Happy New Year to him and never Happy Birthday.

I could be the King and have two birthdays. Having one in the summer.

My birthdays have been quite dull the last few years,

I remember when people actually got together on your birthday

Sign of getting older i guess and everyone having multiple kids (not me) so you barely see friends
