I changed my name a while ago as my original name was almost the same as my real one and I'd posted something which further identified me and cpuld have upset family members. I asked GNHQ to remove the post and to change my name. I had to give a valid reason but they agreed.

Me too, hope it's been a good day.

Breathes a sign of relief. That is my duty done for the next year. I don't need to feel guilty about missing anyone's special day. Thank you Anniebach for your birthday greetings. It will be some months before I can use them properly, but I shall be sure to have a great day when it comes.

Thanks Elegran and Happy Birthday to you too! cupcakewineflowers

Elegran Tue 10-Oct-17 20:06:28

I am very bad at noticing birthdays and handing out appropriate greetings, so I shall do a bulk mail-shot and send best wishes now to everyone whose birthday falls between 10/10/2017 and 10/10/2018. I hope you have a really good time with lots and lots of cards, pressies, cupcakecupcakecupcake and winewinewine.

Nfk I'd better wish you happy birthday for next month now as I may forget by the time it comes round blush not very good at that sort of thing. Hope you have a great time

I had a lovely party for my 70th. Old friends from Uni, relatives rarely seen, sister-in law and all her family. And a piper to pipe us into the hall. My sons organised and did the catering. I even spotted 3-year old GS 'manning' the bar. I told them I'd like a flying lesson for my 80th, but they brought that forward and I had it (and loved every minute) at 74.
So a belated happy birthday to my old sparring partner Jingle and many more to come.

I did it too, for my last "0" birthday. Couldn't face the thought of "celebrating " it, so I took myself off to the other end of the country for a few days. Parties are lovely for others but I don't want one of my own. smile

lemongrove Tue 10-Oct-17 09:12:48

Nfk ?my DH did exactly the same for his.

Christinefrance Tue 10-Oct-17 09:10:21

Happy Birthday for next month Nfkdumpling It's just another phase of our life to enjoy, have fun being a norty older person I do, ? wine

NfkDumpling Tue 10-Oct-17 07:43:10

My birthday is next month. A big one and I'm planning a party. A drop in if you're passing party. All welcome - please bring cake - or wine!

DH can't understand why I want to celebrate achieving my three score and ten, we went away for his just so no one (especially him) would acknowledge it.

Don't know how I missed this thread but obviously coming across it too late. Should I wish jings a belated happy birthday for this year or get in first for glassortwo's birthday thread for next year hmm. Think I'll just settle for saying nice to see you Notme (you could have kept me a slice of cake grin)

trisher Mon 09-Oct-17 15:11:30

I'll just wish everyone Happy birthday now, takes me all my time to remember family and close friends I'll never remember all you lot!

NanaandGrampy Mon 09-Oct-17 14:49:28

I'll look forward to a lengthy thread full of good wishes and happiness.... bit like this one * Christinefrance* :-)

BBbevan Mon 09-Oct-17 14:43:52

Thank you Nonnie I never for a moment thought it might be something they wanted to hide. My user name is so not near my own that it would be difficult I think to identify me from that alone.

Christinefrance Mon 09-Oct-17 14:02:55

Thanks N&G I will remember your birthday,mine is 18th April, be interesting to see the responses if any ☺

Nonnie Mon 09-Oct-17 12:50:14

Only read this last page, life is too short.........

BBbevan people change their names for a variety of reasons but I think the main one is when one wants to post without being identified by family or others. The same reason some choose not to have a profile. It is not that they have anything to hide but that there may be people in their lives who stalk them and they prefer not be identified.

lemongrove Mon 09-Oct-17 12:45:53

Pop into the Argy Bargy Bar for a swift half notme ??

Notme Mon 09-Oct-17 12:44:49

Where's the 'like' button on 'ere?

Maggiemaybe Mon 09-Oct-17 12:44:28

And my daughter's, glassortwo. {smile]

I've seen happy birthday wishes on here for other members. If people know when they are, they'll usually raise a wine.

glassortwo Mon 09-Oct-17 12:40:27

And another grin

N&G remind me the day before grin

jingles is easy its the same day as my sons (who was 40 on the 28th )

NanaandGrampy Mon 09-Oct-17 12:20:02

So can we all look forward to similar posts on our birthdays...Just in case mine is Sept 9th !!
