Re: Your birthday - do you treat yourself?

Another thing you could do to make your birthday special is buy yourself little presents whenever you see something you like - wrap them up and give to yourself on your birthday.
I did this last year. I saw something I liked but couldn't justify the price so I bought it for myself & saved it 2 months until my birthday. It was quite exciting undoing it! lol

I did that last Christmas. But as for this year's birthday, I will bear that in mind!

I know you will let us know how you get on.

I don't bother that much with my birthday, usually have a nice meal depending on what day it falls on.

We have started looking at new ways of getting away Jazzi, as I am getting very wary of travelling by car. We went on the train to Harrogate in January and as long as you plan your trip well you can get it fairly cheaply if you are willing to go off peak so to speak. We are also looking at coach holidays but they would have to be reasonable.
Yes, I will certainly tell you all about it, afterwards!

Coach holidays are now getting expensive, but I do love them. I am fortunate in being close to all methods of travel, so there is the underground (I live on the top end of the Victoria line), then all the London main lines, links to airports, coach terminal in central London, so I'm spoilt for choice. Just need to decide where to go each time.

Did a day trip to Birmingham once, by train, to the NEC, to see tv presenter Mark Evans. The year before I drove up...oooh, never again! Never thought of day tripping to Manchester, but it can be done, as I found.

Oh, whereabouts is the wheel, Carol?

Re: Your birthday - do you treat yourself?

The last time I saw my wife alive was on my birthday-so it`s not something I care to remember with fun.

Same with my mum, almost! . Two days after my birthday I will remember she left me forever.

Re: Your birthday - do you treat yourself?

I'm sure you'll enjoy your trip up north, if you have a bus pass you can go on any bus with it. We use ours when we go down south to London saves a lot of money.
I went to Llandudno North Wales for my birthday, I like to have my birthday at different places.

Quite near the central bus station I think.
