My Birthday and I don't like any fuss.

Rufus- better than not having another!

Am I being miserable?
You've obviously got tongue in cheek, but whether or not, the answer is"Yes!"
There's too much of it going on these days!
Btw; it's my birthday next Tuesday and I couldn't be happier. Bring it on, the more the merrier!

(whispered reminder) birthday gifts and congratulations are a two-way thing.

You may say you don't want presents, cards and people saying 'Happy Birthday' at you - but just think of the joy you are denying them when you put a spanner in their kindly works.

I quite like my birthday as long as I get to organise it !!! I hate surprises they’re either ott or disappointing. My family know me and let me get on with it.

I don’t enjoy mine either. Dreading my 70 next year.
On my 60 th husband and children didn’t organise anything and it was a miserable day. I’d organised a family meal for his 60th and 70th so was really hurt.

If you were born on the 29th of February, like me, you would only have to celebrate your birthday every 4 years!

Wishing you all a wonderful birthday, [cake]

I love my birthday and am full of the feel good factor all the day long. Always have felt like this and even used to take a day's leave as my personal celebration. I don't need 'stuff' but if a birthday gives me the bonus of the chance of seeing my C or GC then I'll happily settle for any number of them real or otherwise. Cards? Presents? Don't give a hoot but...... important people every time! Oh yesssss!

I love birthdays but they are always a big disappointment to me. I sometimes wonder if my friends and family know me at all looking at the gifts and cards l receive. I think really it's like Christmas l should like to celebrate with friends and family and that would be a lovely gift.

... or late!

razzy .. my grandson' s birthday is same as yours .. I celebrate it 6 months earlier ..

How many birthdays do we get in our lifetime? Maybe 70 or 80 and occasionally more. I think you should have 3 days of celebration, and if your birthday falls in the winter have 2 of those days in the summer, Celebrate with gusto!!!

No fuss for me either. I'm 70 this year and all I want is a meal out with husband, daughter (if she can get to Cornwall from Warrington) and our dog. Hoping to meet up with 2 friends I have in Derbyshire (left 5 years ago) but will probably do it mid country late summer as birthday is on 30 December.

I love to celebrate other people's birthdays but as for my own I much prefer to go about my day as normal I'm not a misery guts just don't like a fuss I have worked at the same place for 18years and although I put money in a collection for all my work colleagues I don't tell anyone when my birthday is

Getting older/old is a privilege not everyone gets so Iam VERY happy to celebrate my birthday and always make a point of celebrating the birthdays of others too Think on

It's my birthday tomorrow and I will be spending a good part of it at the fracture clinic in our local hospital, I had a fall at the end of last month and badly broke my right ankle have spent the last 5 weeks hopping around the house using a zimmer frame as I am not allowed to put any weight on it. I won't hear from my daughter this year as she is on holiday and my 2 sons never send cards or make any contact at all.

Happy Birthday Jones!!!
One of my best birthdays was when I was still working. I think it was my 50th, I often walked my dog in the nearby woods, and saw a notice there that said that the woodland Warden would take anybody who wanted to on a woodland walk. I phoned the number given and arranged to meet the Warden at the car park there. He took me on a lovely trip around the woods, pointing out such things as a squirrel's dray, badger's holt, various flowers etc. and told me all sorts of interesting things. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not a lot of fuss is made by my family and I don't think my friends really remember me now. Perhaps they will when I turn 80, I will drop serious hints about it.

Thank you all once again. I did have a lovely day and enjoyed seeing my son's and their partners. I really appreciate everything I receive, just don't like being the centre of attention, but I am very grateful for having a loving family. Happy Birthday to all that are celebrating or not, their birthday today, and to all our other fellow cancerians out there.

I like my family to make a bit of fuss on my birthday; my DDs and their families come round with presents and we have to have a cake so that my GD can blow out the candles! My DH and I then have a couple of nights away somewhere in a hotel.
What I DON'T do is to share any details about when my birthday is on social media. Lots of my friends from church would see it and it has not been unknown for a birthday to be announced during the service and for the whole congregation sing 'Happy Birthday' to them. I would find that so embarrassing. So I won't be sharing my birth date with any of you- sorry!

Perhaps you could turn it round and see it as all the people who love you celebrating your birthday when they send greetings.

Happy birthday JonesKPj000. It's my birthday today too and I love birthday celebrations, alas mine are always very low key,even in childhood. I have a chest infection and feeling a bit yuk. My grandchildren can't visit as some of them aren't well and I don't want to pass any of my bugs to them. So feeling a bit down today. Had plans to go shopping for clothes,meal, cinema with hubby but that will have to wait until I'm well again.

I wish i could celebrate my birthday. My family dont acknowledge it. Have no friends now so only card i get is one i buy from my pets. Normal day very sad

Birthday! Just another day. I celebrate every day, happy that I am still here and am able to enjoy myself. I don't need a special day to celebrate a wonderful life.

The many Young people buried along Side my mum would love to celebrate their birthday. Be grateful for every birthday you reach
