Today is my birthday but only my mum has sent me a birthday text

[mirrormirrore]

I don't have many friends but I do have a few, from now and from long ago. We would send each other birthday texts and say how are you etc.

I am a single mum, I have teenage kids who have acknowledged my birthday but haven't made any plans for me and I feel very lost. House feels so quiet.

Any ideas what I can do to feel good about myself, even for a bit?

Happy birthday.

Could you go to the cinema or watch your favourite film this evening? Nip to the shops and buy some wine and chocs or any other treat you like.
Have an indulgent bath and play your favourite music.

Happy birthday! Can you plan to have a nice takeaway and a bottle of wine? Maybe sit in the garden or the park with a book for an hour?

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a lovely evening and spoil yourself

Wishing you a happy birthday!

What do you love to do?

I’d put headphones on, favourite music or a great audiobook and head out for a walk. Any direction, change of scenery. Pick up a coffee or whatever I fancied. Home, curled up with a book, film, favourite food and make plans for things I want to do or places to go in the next year.

It’s lovely your teenagers all acknowledged your birthday even if you would have loved more. I hope you have a lovely evening whatever you plan to do.

Happy birthday OP!

Have a relaxing bath, get a takeaway and relax. Spend your evening watching your favourite film with a glass of wine and google something nice to book for yourself book yourself like a manicure or a facial.

Happy birthday order a nice meal in put you favourite film on

It's my birthday today too. Happy birthday, birthday twin ❤️ I bought myself a new dress ❤️

This happened to me.. last year I had a text off my mum and my boyfriend was with me to tell me to my face but my best friends, dad, sisters forgot and I didn't even hear off them that day 🙃😂

Happy birthday!!!! It's my birthday too today.
Can you get your favourite takeaway? Film and a drink, maybe some chocolate? close all curtains/blinds and the living from door, make it an at home cinema.

Go get yourself a present. Budget dependent. Or download a book. If you don't have a partner to cook, tell the kids it's cereal for tea and go have a read or a glass of wine. Happy birthday x

Hi @mirrormirrore Happy Birthday!! 💖💐🎂
i always put something nice on, do my hair and make up on my birthday, even if i'm just going to be indoors, makes me feel good!
Have a lovely day xx

In my group of friends we organise our own birthdays if we want to do anything. I don't normally remember when anyone's birthday is (the month perhaps) other than my own family, so I'm useless at acknowledging it unless someone rose goes first!
I'd treat myself to a massage or facial but as it's today I'd get sone nice end and order a takeaway.

Happy Birthday 🎁

Happy birthday ! 💐

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @mirrormirrore !!

You need and and later on some....

Maybe get a take away to have with the teens? I hope you can rescue your Birthday and still have a bit of fun!

@nopenotplaying Happy Birthday to you too, have a lovely day!

Thank you all, and happy birthday to my birthday twins!

I ended up getting some nice ready made meals from Waitrose, a delicious cheesecake and got myself a new nail polish. My teens joined me with the shopping.

Having a glass of wine eating chocolate as many of you suggested.

Thanks again. I don't feel as bad as earlier on. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer.

I hope you did have some birthday enjoyment! Happy Happy birthday to you 🎉🎊🍻🎁. I'd mention to your teens how much you'd appreciate a handwritten card next year, I buy a box of cards I like and there's one DS who reliably forgets everything. I get him write a card and make me tea and toast. I know it's pathetic but it makes me feel better!!! Hope you did have a nice time.

Happy Birthday 😘

Hope it was good!

Happy birthday to you!!!xxx

Sorry that i'm on the cusp OP but happy birthday!
