2 - my husband and my son

ChangedName654321 · 07/11/2023 23:14

My close family. Husband and sons. Also saw my mother and sister briefly

daffodilandtulip · 07/11/2023 23:14

My two children. It usually coincides with our annual holiday which is nice.

ChillysWaterBottle · 07/11/2023 23:14

I had a party for the first time in years so about 80. I don't often bother with that though, it really depends on my mood that year.

Greycheck · 07/11/2023 23:16

Everyone I wanted to.

Maddy70 · 07/11/2023 23:18

14 but it doesnt matter I've had birthdays with only 1 other person. It's not the number around the table it's the people

ManchesterLu · 07/11/2023 23:20

7 of us went out for a meal. Same as every year, unless it falls on the day I do my hobby, in which case it'd be 7 people the day before/after, and 30 people on the day.

WednesdaysChild50 · 07/11/2023 23:21

I can’t even remember probably none

funbags3 · 07/11/2023 23:54

I was on holiday so it was just the four of us.

MaidOfSteel · 07/11/2023 23:58

None. I was home on my own all day.

xogossipgirlxo · 08/11/2023 00:15

1- my husband. I was pregnant then so didn’t feel up to anything crazy. I would love to celebrate my next birthday with my family, hopefully we will fly to visit them then. Since having a baby I feel more need to see family more often.

DilemmaDelilah · 08/11/2023 01:22
  1. But it's my birthday today and it will be just my DH and me (except for the Radiotherapy team at the hospital!)
TrailingFig · 08/11/2023 01:30

Family during the day - so 9, and then a few froends in the evening. Huge pressure to have a party (big 0 birthday) but I really didn’t want one

MintJulia · 08/11/2023 02:16

1 - my ds

I'm completely happy with that.

MaloneMeadow · 08/11/2023 02:18

1! With my best friend on a weekend city break - it was lovely!

HeffyAgain · 08/11/2023 06:10

3, husband and 2 children. It was my 40th but I don't do big birthdays!

pacificoceanwhale · 08/11/2023 06:25
  1. Hubby & 2DC
NoraLuka · 08/11/2023 06:29

Was supposed to be going for a meal with about 10 other people, then DD2 decided she didn’t want to go, DP got in a mood as did DD1 so I made a cup of tea and went to bed to read a book and left them all to it. So in answer to the question, 0.

EmpressaurusOfCats · 08/11/2023 06:36

On the actual day just me, I was on holiday.

With 3 friends when I got back.

RedRiverShore4 · 08/11/2023 06:43

No one, I don't generally celebrate it

Floralovesflowers · 08/11/2023 06:52

1-dh, we were on holiday. Was lovely.

EspressoMacchiato · 08/11/2023 06:53

11 but other years it’s been 2.

Does it matter as long as you’re with people you love who love you too?

GonnaNeedABiggerBag · 08/11/2023 06:53

None. Not a fan of my birthday so treat it like a normal day. I don’t tell people when it is unless directly asked and never remind people.

notacooldad · 08/11/2023 06:56

On the day, 4
During the week 4 friends took me out for lunch or tea separately.

ApolloandDaphne · 08/11/2023 06:59

Just me, DH and the dog. We went for a long weekend to Bamburgh. It was lovely.
