This year, I had the most understated birthday. I didn’t even have a Birthday Cake!!! Yup, T1 kept asking WHY??? Especially when she saw that just the week before, we’d celebrated Uncle Ben’s birthday and he had a birthday cake 🙂
I told her Mommy was on a mission – a whole birthday cake would have been too indulgent. And it’s true.
Yet I couldn’t have been happier – understated birthday, nobody knows, just me and my girls…..and the Hubs, of course. I really couldn’t have had a big birthday bash despite it being my big 40. OMG, I’m 40??? Yeah, I’m 40. I had the opportunity to have a FREE birthday party as well with free booze and food hosted by a Multinational but didn’t take up the offer. Honestly, I’m just too damn busy!
All these retailers keep calling me to come in to collect my birthday present, as if I have the time………
Anyway, Happy Birthday to me!
We had a full-on family day with lots of love and laughs………just the 4 of us. And some great food.
Mamapumpkin was Happy!

big celebration is not important but being appreciated and remembered by your loved ones is important.. Happy Birthday Mrs Lee : D
Hi, first of all happy birthday! Its great to have a quiet celebration, just one with the family. I hinted this a few times too in previous years because I don’t have the mood to celebrate after 30… And maybe in denial if I don’t celebrate I don’t get a year older.. Blerrgh.
Secondly, either it’s my iPad or you have change the view and outlook of your blog? I get like a directory page first
Many happy returns Patsy. Remember age is only a number, it’s how you feel in your heart that matters.
OMG! 40?? You looked like in the 20s only, really can’t see! (fake not?)
Happy Birthday!
So, you are a Rat as well…Happy Birthday anyways!!
Happy Birthday!!!
I’m just as surprised as a few that you didn’t have a HUGE bash to celebrate the big 4-0. I know I definitely would LOL
Anyways, you’re happy and your girls are happy and that’s what matters most 😀
