I'm not exactly looking forward to being 30 but as it only happens once, I do want to "celebrate" it. Not really sure how though!
My birthday is Christmas Day, so can't do anything on the actual day, so also a bit unsure when to do something!!
Any suggestions gratefully received!

I think it'd help for more details - are you planning a party/ occasion with friends? will you be with OH/ family? do you want a party? or something quieter? I know for my 30th i'm planning a pink party! lots of balloons, pink sparklies... and hopefully pink champagne (or cheap 'PINK' substitute) which i tried and is very nice! give us more info and we'll get back to you xJust £10,852.28p to go...

I'd like to have a party with family & friends, but think it would be quite expensive to hire somewhere, for a DJ, bar etc, so I was thinking about going somewhere for the weekend with friends - such as Manchester, but I have no idea where to go!!! I live about 30 minutes west of Birmingham, but don't want to go there as I want somewhere different!!!
Thanks x:heart: I have this theory that chocolate slows down the ageing process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?

If you go to Manchester, you can have a great night out in the Printworks - it's got loads of good bars/ eateries/ nightclub all under one roof. I went there for a hen party - Tiger Tiger was excellent. You could have a party at one of the places where there's already a party atmosphere but you just book a large table for a big group of family/ friends. That way, you don't have to fork out for the entertainment yourself - and your meal might even be free! I'll keep thinking...Just £10,852.28p to go...

When my frind turned 30 on January 1st, his wife took him away for a few days, and organised his birthday party for the 1st July!
He'd never had a BBQ for his birthday before!!

My OH is 30 this December too, not really sure what to do for him either.
Been looking on buyagift through my cashback site, they have some fun ideas.
Had booked a trip to New York ( a naughty slip on the credit card:whistle:) but then found out I was pregnant and due 2 weeks before we were due to fly so had to cancel:rotfl: !!Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T

For my 30th I asked friends to join me for a chinese buffet and took a big chocolate cake. It was really relaxed and lovely and everyone said they had a great time. I paid for wine and water to be on the table for people to drink and everyone paid for their own food. I made place cards and put favours (boxes of sweets) and party poppers on the table (checked with restaurant that this was ok first). I also made up a 'how well do you know me' quiz with a box of chocs for the winner.:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0

That's such a shame you had to cancel, but at least it's for a good reason!!
Dropped hints to my OH to go to New York, but I don't think it's going to happen...:heart: I have this theory that chocolate slows down the ageing process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?

Yes it is a good reason, I am not cross really, its our silly fault anyways. Very bad planning, or lack of it!!
I was really looking forward to seeing the Christmas displays and the huge trees. Oh well there will be other years, couldnt really afford it anyway.Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T

Yes, I remember going into printworks one afternoon, think that would be a great place to go. any idea of anywhere local to stay over? probably travel up Sat morn and stay Sat night if it's not too expensive...
Thanks! :A:heart: I have this theory that chocolate slows down the ageing process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?
