Happy birthday from the Netherlands.
It won't help today, but you are an adult and there is no law that requires you to celebrate on the actual birthday. So if the day is a write off, then just celebrate next weekend when your partner does have the day off and the kids are in a better mood.
Hope your day was still good, and you celebrate on a better day.. :)
Happy Birthday!
Even though things aren’t going your way today, I can’t help being happy for you. You’ve got a house that will soon be tidy, a partner you enjoy spending time with, and kids who love her.
Sounds like you should adopt an Official Birthday in a couple of weeks and get a re-do then.
Anyway, I hope it gets better and happy unofficial birthday such as it is.
I have had a lie in and did a bit of gardening. I'll get out for a walk somewhere or another after lunch and maybe settle in for some reading this evening.
Happy birthday internet stranger. Hope it gets better for you!
Happy birthday - hope all this is to lower your expectations for surprise birthday fun later 🎁🎂🍺
It's my birthday tomorrow, which is a bit rubbish so I declared it a Birthday Weekend.
Thursday: went to see Out of Darkness in the cinema as it seemed to be a one night only screening, which is understandable as it's a bit niche (but, as someone said last night, so am I).
Friday: Went to my brother's for tea and rejected their birthday present (not as harsh as it sounds, it was a provisional present testing and it was decided to return the clothing and reorder). Then me and a few friends went to see Ross Noble (brilliant!) before heading to my local.
Saturday: booked a big table at my go-to Turkish restaurant (all very tasty), had a good turnout then bounced on to my local.
Sunday: taking it easy but might go to the pub for lasties as there will be pies.
Monday: bad day for a birthday. Might just get a Chinese takeaway and go to see The Iron Claw. No pub because everyone has Mondays off.
Thursday: Going to Dune, part 2: The Good Half in iSense. Not sure if it's technically part of my birthday (although I am meeting family friends next weekend and birthday, part 2 with my brother's family in a week or so, so it's rather a drawn out affair over a few weeks - a bit like my lockdown birthdays) but I might just declare a Birthday Fortnight and start annexing other weekends.
Well if all goes to plan I'll be able to play Rocket League with my brothers, which since covid has become our Sunday night tradition. We both have young kids though and his baby isn't sleeping too good right now.....Fingers crossed.
That sounds like fun anyway. Some days you've got to grab it where you can.
I had a lockdown tradition of playing Fortnite with my nephew and must restart it. It was a good way to stay in touch.
First I've heard of "Out of Darkness". How was it?
I'm sorry to hear that :( You are an absolute value to this instance. Never forget that.
Happy birthday, Daniel!
Thank you.
Happy birthday!
I'm waiting for a 3 leg train journey with 2 young kids. It could go either way.
That's optimistic of you! Good luck 🤞
I've had issues with my IBD for over 5 weeks now and nothing I was doing seemed to be working (with IBD nurse advice and my prescribed meds) but now it seems I just had some progress so hopefully it'll clear up this week. I've lost weight with it as I haven't had an appetite for the last week in particular and when it clears I'm getting a fish supper that week to celebrate. So basically my Sunday is going better than I expected it to as the last week has been horrible.
Happy Birthday OP, here's some 🎂
Happy Birthday! That's a shame about your partner's work. Hope your day gets better from here on
Happy birthday mate! You know cleaning the house is one of the BEST forms of foreplay? Goddamn nothing gets a partner loosened up like a clean kitchen and kiddos ready for school tomorrow. And then, aw yeah, it's business time. Right after you sort the recycling. That's not part of it but it's important too.
Happy birthday! Our dog has been vomiting since Friday evening. Food just won’t stay in. Surprisingly he’s seemed alert and relatively lively even though he must feel terrible. My wife took him to the vets earlier and apart from the upset tummy all seems fine. They gave him an injection to reduce the tummy upset. He already ate a little bit and that has not come out so far. Fingers crossed.
vomiting ruins human's days. vomiting is damn near a bonus event to doggos. good luck!
Hey birthday twin!
Happy Birthday, Daniel. I tend not to expect anything any more, I'm 48, that way, I can't be too disappointed. ;-)
Get thee to a Wetherspoons and have us order you some stuff! I'd put in to get you one of those warm sticky toffee dessert things in lieu of a cake.
