Feeling pretty down about my birthday tomorrow - 50 for goodness sakes. Always feel a bit low in the week leading up to it every year for some reason, but this year seems to be worse because of the milestone.
I really wanted a huge party in a pub with all my friends/family - but that idea of course got shelved because of this rotten covid. Feel that thing has destroyed any plan I have made in my life now, and it will never go away as we all know, so the good times I cannot see returning.
I have close family round tomorrow afternoon and hoping the weather will be at least dry, as want to sit outside - too scared to have 6 of us all in one small room. Despite them all being fully vaccinated, I still feel terrified I will catch the virus or my Dad will.
I should be feeling happy - got lots of presents and cards accumulating over the last couple of weeks to open - so hope my mood improves, but think there will be a lot of tears shed too!

Happy birthday for tomorrow. Hope you enjoy what you have planned.
We had multiple disappointments on the milestone birthday front last year due to Covid/lockdown etc.
My Dad was 80 last March, KJ was 40 in September and I was 50 in December, so we didn't get to have the big party we'd planned for our two birthdays, and we weren't even able to be with my Dad for his 80th! |
Thanks Hoppy.
My Dad is 80 in a couple of weeks - I hope we can at least see him and my Mum on the day. It's sad that you all missed out last year. Would have thought now we would all be safe enough to get together for big parties - but sadly that is not the case. I just hope that some day it will come true. I cannot wait forever.... "next year" then becomes the year after, the year after and so on. | | | |

Happy Birthday, as a recent half centenarian last year just before lockdown I will tell you 2 things, it’s only a number and 50 is definitely the new 40.
In all honesty my view is it’s what you make of it, if you want to wallow in being 50 and thinking of yourself as old and over the hill etc then that’s what will happen.
Keep your chin up, it will all be ok, I promise |  |

Tomorrow myself and The Clan Factual will be gathering and celebrating the 100th birthday of the late Uncle Factual.
RIP eight years ago.
And in any event, life begins at sixty. |  |

Thank you Ryorry - I will enjoy that virtual Stella immensely! xx |
I know this'll sound weird, but since becoming allergic to various foods incl alcohol donks' years ago, I've dreamed about drinking beer a few times - and it tasted just as good as in irl! 😂 |  |

Happy Birthday for tomorrow!
Seems like there are a few of us hitting the big 5-0 this year, obviously 1971 was a great vintage!
Like you, I dreaded the build-up to my 50th a couple of months ago - especially with a soon-to-be 18yr old son constantly reminding me of my age, but the day came and went, and like others have said, it's just a number, you don't feel any different to being 49. |  |

That's one way to look at it!
A lot of people think I look like I am in my 30s but I have never believed them - I do try to look after myself so hope it is paying off!!
Funny when you are young, you try to look older to get into places, and when you are older, you try to look younger!
Thanks Keno!! | | | |

Happy Birthday, Debsy. I turned fifty a few months back myself and in reality it doesn't make any difference, it's just a number. Although being the big 5-0 does mean being eligible for the booster come autumn...  |  | | |

Thanks JonBlue! I am up for the booster as I have asthma and other illnesses, but hoping it is not going to be done at the same time as the flu one - it will absolutely floor me. I have already got my flu jab booked in at Boots in October and the only mention of other jabs is to leave at least a 2 week gap... | | | |

Happy Birthday Debsy.
50's only half-way.
Here's a frightening thought - at my age I consider you a babe. |  |
