You started young then if you are old enough to be my mum ... My mum is almost 50 Course I still want to meet you lol ... dafty! I don't feel 25 if that makes any difference?

Edit: If you are old enough to be my mum can you buy me some toys tomorrow please :rotfl:

I worked out that if I had started young I would almost be old enough to be your mum. quite a scary thought when you still think of yourself as 20:eek:

Bought lots of Once Upon a time off Creative Craft World after finding it when someone had bought something on here. I think it was Padingtondoo ? appologies if it wasnt. They are sooo helpful , friendly and great prices. Just had to share that since we are being thrifty. I have been buying for myself so that bit was gifty lol

Don't think it was me - could have been - I've been sneaking so much in just recently - lol

I was 40 weeks and 2 days pregnant on my 30th birthday and had a waist measurement bigger than my height fortunately I'm not very tall :rotfl: - they were all worried i was going to give birth in the restaurant - DS hung in there another week though - typical bloke! - that's a long while ago.......................

Just fed up of people trying to organise it for me LOL, and telling me how I should Celebrate it, when all I want to do is have some Fun:D , but how I want, does that sound shelfish, well thats what I'm told!!! Friends Huh...

I think I might just have to have a virtual party with all my lovely friends on here and sod everyone else

I was pregnant with DS1 when I was 21 so never really celebrated that big one.

You ve got to enjoy yourself on ur 30th do what you want......... my 30th, pre daughter days, there was a group of us went out to Tunisia, and as the hotel was being dropped by English tour operaters we were the last group of guests so decided to go out with a bang. the 4 of us got dressed up, I was a St trinains, my mate went as a fairy, to great delight to the Tunisians as they kept stopping her for photos with their children, another girl went as a red devil and the last lady went as Morticia. So funny as we were away from the main block of the hotel, remember getting changed a bit of dutch courage, my friends husband refused to leave the room he wouldnt come out with us, as we walked across to the main block, got to the door and everyone was there, the ents staff had arranged for everyone to be there, played silly games, I ended up in the pool, went back to room to get changed but my mate wouldnt let me get dressed properly, so there was me in the shower her in the bedroom with a travel hairdryer drying my shirt, so we could go back out. It was the best ngt ever. xx

Not been upto much today, no real bargains when shopping, cept a few more eggs. Just making some night garden canvas pics to go towards DS2s bedroom which I'm getting changed from winnie the pooh theme to In the night garden for his birthday at the end of March.

I'm 28, 29 this year.

((((Jammy)))) I hope everything improves for you & yours.

Sounds a good night Mum2one

Goochie, boots do offers on a very regular basis but some are better than others, They advertise the larger point earners such as triple points weekend in there windows, but you can keep an eye on the boots grabbit thread, the first page is updated with the main offers running, while the rest mentions other offers people find. If I hear of any good ones I'll pot them on here so we can get some bargains

I am still in my 30's..........hanging on by a thread! will be 40 next month am having a bit of a do at home, between 35-45 people if everyone comes. Have made 6 invites and need to make another 8. I have been buying some food/ drink every week with my shopping to put by for it.

I lost 3 friends to breast cancer i past 2 years ,who were all ages with myself, so really do feel that life is for living and enjoying

This time last year I was doing a job I didn't enjoy and am back working where I worked before. I have more school friendly hours now and I love my work which makes a big difference to day to day life!

Sounds like you had a Blast mum2one, I know its shelfish, but I just want some fun and really want to do something different for the day not the usual if you know what I mean. I couldn't have a do at home (house is too small...) and can't really afford anything too flash where I could invite everyone.

I just really fancy something DIFFERENT............I wonder in STARBUCKS do Parties LOL :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

When I was 30.....oh so long ago.......I had a 4 day celebration. Friday night had girly night in, Saturday went out for lunch with family, with OMG, the worst hairdo ever...had went to h'dresser to get a french roll in , came out looking 65 with a bouffant. Looking at photos, i am so young, slim and raven haired but looking like I'd my granny's hairdo!! Then went go'karting at night...had to put a helmet over my hairdo....it would hardly fit lol!. On the Sunday had a different crowd of friends over and then on Monday ,my actual birthday had a quiet day with just husband and 2 kids. By the end of my 30th year i had another baby!
I also had 4 birthday cakes!
