50th Birthday Celebration Ideas
Jump to: Newest in thread
(If you're listening to 'Grill Graham' on Radio 2: no, I'm not Melanie, but it has brought the subject back to the fore)
.
Mrs ddc is hassling me again about my up-n-coming milestone. I managed to avoid both my 30th and 40th, but fear my luck may be running out.
I'm not really a party animal, and hate being the centre of attention (no, this isn't a look at me thread ), so thought about booking a family trip away somewhere.
(I considered places on 50°W, but omg that's like on another continent, and 50°E includes Yemen, Iran, and many scary sounding places ending in -stan. The 50th parallel N is a possibility, as it passes through Prague)
What ideas does the forum have?
Ta muchly
Mr ddc

Oh, PS, I've already checked, my birthday falls in the October half-term this year.... |

At 50, you probably won't have the stamina to do much so I suggest a day of binge watching Last of the Summer Wine whilst sitting in a rocking chair with a blanket round you, sucking on some Werther's Originals    |

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum |
Me and BlondeCaz are going to Cambodia and Vietnam next year for a Mekong river cruise, then we're hoping to get a club sorted for a great big swinger party. So not much of a fuss really.  |

I celebrated my 50th with a spa day with just my sister and best friend for company... My sisters husband got to look after the kids for the day...
In the evening we went for a family meal at a nice restaurant and then back to mine for cocktails...'
I don't do parties either so that was nice and low key |

"Had mine last week.
And I dog sat for my 2 best friends on here while they went camping with their daughter.
Just didn't want any fuss, in fact I avoided nearly every mention of my birthday"
Do you fancy taking Mrs ddc & the kids camping, then I could do Miss I's idea!

"How about making your 50th year the start of doing 50 things you've always wanted to do? "
Why do you think we're here?
We have a combined list we're steadily working through.
(I think all I have left is "Get a thread to 175" and "Lifetime Forum ban"  ) |

Is that the Viking one? If so we're saving up for that for our 25th. We did the Russian one for our 20th a couple of years ago. It was amazing.

Last time I did anything like a spa day was on our honeymoon when three treatments each were included in the price. I still get nervous about people asking me if I want a facial

"I'm 50 miles away and I can accommodate. You'd both be most welcome to stay overnight. "
But what about the kids?
.
I hadn't thought about places 50 miles away, though that might be still too close to definitely avoid the in-laws... |

"I am taking sweet back to Gran canaria for her 50th.we both love it there"
Never been there yet, October might be my sort of temperature? (I have Scottish blood, so like Dracula, I can't go out in the sun, otherwise I permanently look like  ) |

I suspect they're both very similar, you'll both love it. |

"do something YOU have always wanted to do but have never had the time or money
but get your family & friends to pay for it . everybody puts £10 in the pot for you to enjoy yourself  "
I was hoping to spend more than £20!  (assuming the kids chip in together for a tenner, along with Mrs ddc (who'll probably take it out the joint account)) |
