I reach the big 50 on Saturday and I feel ambivilant about it. I have been put under pressure from "friends" who say I must go out and celebrate. But I feel nothing. I am being made to feel a freek because I don't want a big party. Better half and I are going to France for 2 weeks the day before, so I won't be here, but everyone is making me feel like a party pooper cos I don't want to go out and get drunk. What are your views
Just enjoy your day as you want. I don't know why friends always think you should do what they want on your birthday on he assumption that you'll enjoy it.
Saying that I love to party but each to their own.
I'm quite looking forward to my 40th and I expect i will be thrown a special surprise party and so i 'll have to just keep smiling and put up with it. : )
Happy birthday for Saturday and i hope you get what you wish for.
