Well, it's not a good one. Pranged my car today. It's my first one without my dad, DS being a pain, hospital visit for cervical biopsy last Monday.

So, to cheer up this ol' bird (52 today), can you please think of a joke and make my day a better?

Happy Birthday Rubylady. I am sorry it has not started out too well, but hopefully it can only get better. Hugs to you, maybe there is a massive chocolate birthday cake just around the corner...Chocolate always makes things better xx

Many happy returns Ruby ! Not an old bird at all. You must be one of the youngest on here. When I read that you'd pranged your car " today" I thought goodness, she's up early, then I saw that you'd written in the early hours so in effect it was yesterday, Hope you managed to sleep ok after that though . Have a lovely day and I'm sure someone will be along with a joke or two!

No jokes I'm afraid. I can't even do one of those animated picture greetings from my phone so.....

Visualize, an overweight 62 yr old in a florescent pink tutu dancing around her living room singing ? HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ? ? that either made you laugh or scared the s**t out of you.

Happy Birthday Rubylady.flowers cupcake

The only joke I can think of is:

A duck was just about to cross a road when a chicken came up to him and said:

"Don't do it my friend. You'll never hear the end of it."

A joke from GS's Horrid Henry book

Why did the toilet paper roll down the hill?

Because it wanted to get to the bottom.

Happy Birthday ruby

Happy birthday Ruby.

A very happy day to you. If you feel like an old bird just think that I had been married a week short of 6 years when you were born.!! I think that's right ( rather early for me).

Old Bird ????, you are a spring chicken. Happy birthday Ruby.
