Happy birthday 🍰.
Hope you've something nice lined up.

Sixtypfft · 27/03/2025 00:25

Thank you ! I do have good things planned. Feeling like major threshold time. Not sure if I should fight against time or embrace the slippers 😬

So this is the year to start watching Gardeners World, Songs of Praise, go to a festival and choose your favourite rap song.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎂🥳🎈🎁

Wishing you many happy returns. :)

Happy birthday 🎂
No to slippers. My mam was still going wild in Benidorm in her 80s. You're a mere bairn!
I'm late 50s so not far off.

Ted27 · 27/03/2025 00:55

Happy Birthday!

I"ll be 60 soon. I don't have slippers but I do have a comfy pair of flip-flops and cosy socks for the winter
My son is 21 this year so we have plans for a holiday.
There are days when I definitely feel my age. Other days are packed out with stuff.
I'm working on developing a happy medium, some comforts and concessions to my age but still doing more or less what I want to.
The women in my family tend to be quite long lived, into late 80s, early 90s so I've potentially got quite a lot of living to do yet.

SodYouIllGoOnMyOwn · 27/03/2025 02:38

Nah, stay away from gardening (reference to another thread).

charabang · 27/03/2025 06:32

Happy Birthday! Book a holiday 😀

PuddleglumtheMarshWiggle · 27/03/2025 06:35

Happy birthday! Enjoy it. Now you can have free prescriptions and a free dental check up.
I was 61 on Tuesday. I enjoy my job so am still working but on the odd occasion when a colleague winds me up I can comfort myself in knowing that I could retire at any time.
I have cosy slippers but also swim in a river all year round. And now I've joined a jive class and am making new friends.

Happy birthday, welcome to the start of your second life! Wishing you a fabulous day with lots of cake.

Happy birthday and welcome to the over 60 club (I joined last year)!🍾🎂

I recommend getting a senior railcard and going somewhere nice on the train Grin

Nannyfannybanny · 27/03/2025 06:42

Happy birthday 🥳. You do know if course that 60 is the new 40! My oldest DD took me to the Dorchester for afternoon tea with prosecco. Was disappointed I didn't get cards with 60 on them, everyone said they thought I might be upset,hell no! Free eye tests as well. It's only a number,"honey, you're only as old as the man you feel". Mine is 7 years younger. What have you planned. 74 now, slippers because the laminate is cold!

Screwyoutwat · 27/03/2025 06:43

Yayyyy Happy 60th OP have a wonderful day Cake

Nannyfannybanny · 27/03/2025 06:44

You don't get free dental checks in England.

Spookypoo · 27/03/2025 06:44

Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a wonderful day (and many more birthdays to come)!

Meadowfinch · 27/03/2025 06:47

Happy Birthday.

I'm a year older than you, things seem to get easier. I hope it does for you too.

Free dental check up? I didn't know that.

I was 65 in January. I keep forgetting how old I really am! Still a teenager inside (a slim one!!!).

Have a lovely day!!!

FrenchandSaunders · 27/03/2025 06:54

I was 50 a few months ago. Apart from being menopausal, im good! I have a great DH, 3 beautiful kids and a job. Chickens and lambs in the field. What is not to be happy about!

my mum died 2 months before her 60th, so my aim is to get there!
