    To be honest I'd be mortified if someone hosted a surprise party for me. I've only been to one, and I found it to be cringingly embarrasing, for both myself and for the person whose party it was. My advice would be to come clean and just throw a regular party.


    I am another one who would hate a surprise party and thankfully my husband is the same so I know that I'm safe. I just don't understand why people think it's a good idea. ;)

    I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

    It's not a party as such just a meal (in a local pub) with a handful of friends - who are dropping out one by one and we're forecast heavy snow :rotfl:
    Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend...

    Shame about the weather forecast. Personally even what you describe ie a meal out with people I didn't know were coming would be too much for me but you know her and I don't._party_

  • I've never understood the trend that insists people need to celebrate every birthday after 21 that ends in a '0' until you're 60 and then after that every birthday that ends in a '5' or a '0'.

    Or maybe I'm just being a grouch lol.

    Hope it goes well whatever happens.
