My birthday is in January too. Last year, as it was my Big birthday, my closest Chums and I went for a champagne afternoon tea at a swish Hotel.
We had such a wonderful time that we each made a pact to put the money aside each week to enable us to do it again next year.
We each put aside just £1 a week which more than covers the cost of the champagne tea and it has given us all something to look forward to post Christmas.
January can be such a dreary month, so this is our way of bringing a bit of cheer into it and by golly, it certainly worked last year.
Happy New Year to You All.
