Belated birthday wishes to you both, Emsgran and DanniRae. I felt a bit the same on my birthday last month, only receiving 5 cards. Hope you won't mind sharing this cake.
Thanks everyone, just need to add that I had visits and flowers etc from my 3 children. Just feeling bad at my lack of friends. Been reading these forums for a while and only just plucked up the courage to write. Hopefully make some new friendships on here
Can you give yourself a birthday treat. Is there anything that you've fancied for ages. What about a pair of really comfy but funky shoes/trainers. Or perhaps make yourself an afternoon tea treat time, ( invite someone to join you if you'd like ).... tea in a China cup with a few nice sandwiches and pastries. You could have it with a magazine or book you'd really enjoy. Or a film you really want to see.
Book yourself a back massage or a facial, perhaps just a visit to the chiropodist.
It has to be something to make you feel good and that you don't normally do in your routine day.
Belated birthday wishes from me, too, emsgran. I hope you were able to do something for yourself today, if not you must tomorrow. It's hard when 'special' days seem to be overlooked. Be good to yourself. Here are more .
Happy belated birthday Emsgran I m sorry you are feeling sad, birthdays aren't always the best nor Christmas I don't know what else to say we can't make up for what you are missing xx
Sorry you didn't have the birthday you'd hoped for Emsgran, is there any chance that you'll be meeting up with friends or family later in the week to have a small celebration? these are for you.
