1964 was a very special year indeed!  

What a great virtual MSE combined 60th birthday shindig we could have this year.
I've still got an unopened tin of quality street I can bring to the party 🥳

I've got unopened prosecco & gin... gin fizzes all round!

As long as the sounds are from late December 1963...! https://youtu.be/mTUhnIY3oRM

My baby sister was born in 64, the last of 6 and by far the best
I used to love that song but sounds very dated now

Thank you: Sounds of the 60s... the best decade. All we need is Tony Blackburn OBE.

Well you bunch of spring chickens are making me feel old - I was born in 1960 😆 My 60th was in the pandemic and we just managed to get to Greece to celebrate before it went on the red list. It definitely wasn’t the year of celebrations I’d hoped for.

I'm turning 60 this year too.  It looks a lot worse when you write it down! I'm trying hard to declutter, finish paying my mortgage off and actually lose the weight I've been losing and putting back on for the past 40 years.  I want to burst into my 60s not hobble in. No definite plans yet, I did a list of 50 things to do before I was 50 but I don't want to put pressure on myself.  Will watch with interest to see what others are doing before I make some plans as its not until later on in the year.

I turn 67 this year ans am retiring from work in two days after over 50 years of full time employment so following all the tips here as income will be taking a nosedive this month!

Just 66 here with a pup of an OH who is a mere 64.  Still working but only part time but also only because it's a job I like and an organisation that isn't a complete carp fest.

Sun_Addict - you are definitely not old! I follow your diary and I am constantly in awe of everything you do, especially the amount of walking - you put me to shame!

I turn 62 in February. I was widowed at 57 (my Husband passed from MND July 2019).  I was working full time until Sept, when I went to 4 days. As a family we care for my Brother with Down's Syndrome so weekends are busy. I love having Mondays off! I often do aqua class followed by a swim at my local gym.  My aim is to try and exercise more, in fact off to gym shortly for my swim. I also want to try and read more books too and meet up as much as possible with family and friends
