This little news item brightened my day. Something for others on Gransnet to consider when they don't know how to celebrate their birthday.

Wonderful! The memories she must have, and obviously still enjoying her life. I loved “I had to keep checking” ?

Aww ?

Is she a regular in the Argy?
I think she should be given honorary Life Membership!

That's the sort of home that everyone needs to be in, if needs must.

Not nude men, but a sense of fun, and she had requested a "hunky man" for her birthday.

It was great that the company offered the service for free, so everyone could enjoy themselves.

Lovely for her if she liked it. Can't help thinking my mum (died at 94 would have been 100 this year) would have told him to put some clothes on "You'll catch your death".
She was very flirty but she had certain standards. In her sheltered housing she operated the swear box and insisted people paid up. They used the money to buy treats!
