 and how to celebrate/mark the occasion is the question. Family say a big party with dancing, karaoke etc  not my thing to be honest as I know they'll get me a kissogram  Maybe a nice dinner with a few close family friends? Or a weekend away in a quite pretty location to chill? I live near Bolton so don't want to travel too far, it also falls in Fathers Day which might be a tad inconvenient. What about a BBQ but who would cook? Depends on the weather, oh the dilemma! Any ideas? suggestions? Anyone know a nice hotel/village/town for a getaway? What did you do for an unforgettable birthday? | |||

If you want to make it special why not go to amsterdam or paris

"ASk your family/freinds what they would like to do for your birthday ask them to organise and pay in lieu of pressies And then dissapear with your fella" Haha, well my family will expect me to organise and pay for a party thats for sure. There is a fantastic Chinese in Worsley but if I said I was having my birthday there they would say its too far and too expensive and 'why don't you have it somewhere closer to us?' If it was up to them it would be at the local Labour Club and I'd be doing my own catering! | |||
