Belated happy birthday Jess flowers - just catching up on GN after a couple of days away!

It's a good idea to have a birthday on a memorable day. My family can't forget Guy Fawkes Day. grin One of my old school friends had hers on April 1st.

Butternut Wed 30-May-12 17:26:07

Happy Birthday Jess. Your home-grown and hand-picked bouquet of flowers sound fabulous. sunshine

Late answer Bags sorry; YES it is!
Talked with the staff in Wellworthit (our version of Woolworths) about 50s playground games; the subject brought the whole shop to a halt and all ten customers came and chipped in with memories! A great community event smile

JessM Wed 30-May-12 11:44:22

Well yes greatnan that is my motto. have low expectations and a willingness to be pleasantly surprised!

Happy birthday jess flowers wine cupcake enjoy your day.

Greatnan Wed 30-May-12 10:17:29

Happy birthday, Jess - your flowers sound lovely.
I can't complain about my own birthday being overlooked because I have said for years that it is just another day, but I have to confess to being quite pleased if any of my lot remembers!

Have a fabulous birthday, Jess. You have some opportunities to indulge yourself with the cream tea and outing tomorrow, so I hoped you really enjoy yourself flowers

AlieOxon Wed 30-May-12 09:38:06

Happy Birthday Jess and many of 'em! smile flowers

absentgrana Wed 30-May-12 09:35:19

Happy birthday JessM Enjoy your cream tea and tomorrow's outing.

Annobel Wed 30-May-12 09:34:54

Isn't it good that so many Gnetters are getting together at last? I'm looking forward to the next occasion at the beginning of July - now that I've got over my reservations about losing my anonymity!

nanaej Wed 30-May-12 09:32:56

happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear jessmmmmmm happy birthday to youuuuuuuuu! flowers

greenmossgiel Wed 30-May-12 09:29:34

flowersHappy birthday, JessMwine! Like your family, mine don't exactly go overboard at my birthday either! My eldest daughter always remembers and gives me a card and a small gift, but my other daughter and my son never seem to get round to anything, though they do wish me a 'happy birthday'.
Good luck with your meeting and as it's your birthday I think you should have an extra portion of the cream tea!
Enjoy your lunch tomorrow with your gransnet friend! I'm meeting up with 3 of them tomorrow, and I'm so looking forward to it! smile

Bags Wed 30-May-12 09:27:53

Happy Birthday, jess. Sounds like a busy but enjoyable two days you have ahead of you smile. I was noticing the fist few dog roses out in the hedgerows yesterday. That and the arrival of swifts do indeed mark the beginning of summer. Have a good day today and a good summer to follow! flowers

Annobel Wed 30-May-12 09:25:35

(sings) Happy Birthday to you....JessM sunshine wine cupcake flowers

Learnergran Wed 30-May-12 09:22:45

Happy birthday Jess, have a lovely day. Here are some flowers flowers though your own sound so much nicer!

Anagram Wed 30-May-12 09:20:04

I lost GN last night too, and actually looked on MN for the first time ever - and the last! (Can't believe the language, and antagonism on some threads!).

Happy Birthday JessM! Hope you have a good one! flowers smile

eGJ - Gransnet homework counselling scores again.
greatnan no don't you dare change your name. you are a Legend as I have said before. I am envious of your uninterrupted time with your sister.
It's my birthday today. I am not one of those high maintenance women that expects a big birthday fuss. But there is always a teeny bit of inner child around isn't there. DH off to London early and brought me tea (I suggested this last night. I have not got him trained, He does not drink it himself.) and a card. He tramped round town yesterday trying to find me a new fluffy dressing gown - but it is the wrong time of year! M and S will be full of em come the autumn.
I have picked a beautiful bunch of flowers from my garden - iris, allium, dog daisies, columbine, white campion and white roses! Summer is officially here - roses are out. It's official!
DIL remembered yesterday - but they are dealing with an ear infection over there in NSW. And the one in NZ is convinced that he has whooping cough (I thought it was a viral cough when i had it... who knows) . He, like my sis is hopeless at remembering birthdays. Lovely people. But not good at that kind of thing.
My treat for the day is to chair a (possibly tricky) U3A meeting. Hopefully a stimulating afternoon! And we are having a cream tea to sweeten the occasion.
Tomorrow though I am booked to have lunch with another gransnetter smile and to go out shopping in the afternoon with a friend. smile
