Once you reach 30 the next one you celebrate is 40, then 50, then 60, then you're coffin dodging.

Yes, I have a mini festival of me every year. In our family birthdays are important. Not birthday parties as such, but mark the occasion.
It's nice to have one occasion to celebrate yourself.

I'm not even sure what age I am...

Havent had a party since i was about 9. Seems a little self indulgent to throw your own party.

I do get a present from my boyfriend, my parents and my brother. That seems sufficient.

Nah. Definitely just another day.

No I kind of hate my birthday, and it's really soon after Christmas which I love so I'm generally not in need of a party.

My parents are doolally for them though, my dad's tried to get away with stuff because it's his 'birthday week'. So there has to be a big song and dance and dinner about it even though I'd rather just let it slide by.

I don't mind other people's parties like, just don't like my own birthday.

To me its the same as any other day.

Yep, I'd have a birthday night out and a meal to mark it. I can't stand people going on about their "birthday month" though, and I have come across it.

Little importance was put on birthdays when I grew up. Don't make a big deal out of it was the general theme. As a result of this I can't derive much enjoyment from my birthdays. Christmas, Easter, etc... have followed suit. I'm happy for people who do (Its a good thing to celebrate and look forward to stuff) but this mentality is hardwired into my personality for the time being.

Birthdays unless maybe roundy ones, or terminally ill ones, are for under 12s. Can't be bothered either and don't want to bother with yours either

Nah, just another day for me... my 30th and 40th passed pretty much unremarked too. I generally take the day off work though.

Nope. T'was last week. I forgot about it until MrsTeal mentioned it. Still no mention of a gift from herself. . .


I wonder if I can get away with that when hers comes around

I celebrate by adding chocolate to milk

Not really no, I just use it as an excuse for another holiday.
So I just use it to justify what I want. Then the next excuse I am not getting any younger and I could be dead tomorrow.

I celebrate my birthday, takeaway and a cake at home on the day. Usually a dinner out with a few friends near the day too. I like my birthday .

Only kind of. Up until I turned 30 I would do something. My mam would get me a little present and a lovely card. They were always signed with "we love you, mam and dad". I turned 35 a few months ago and it was the first time in five years that I really made an effort and shared it with someone.

As the song goes "what's another year".

My birthday was last week, currently on my last full day of my spring holidays

The most trouble id go to is meeting friends for a few pints.
Last year i just went out for dinner with the wife. Probably the same this year.

Surely its impossible to forget your own birthday? Did you at least realise it at some point in the weeks before?

mfceiling

Never bother my arse. My 40th fell on a Saturday and I went to work even though herself wanted to mark the occasion.

Unless you are under 12 I don't see the point.
