.. about another 20 times in the next 48 mins so that I can answer, "oh, I am 38 years old"?

Countdown starts now. Another YEAR and 48 mins and I will be 40.

BeaOnSea · 01/01/2012 23:11

Maryz & Bibbity - I'm 50 this year too !!!

Do we need to set up a special "half-a-century" clique Grin

OneLieIn · 01/01/2012 23:13

Sorry, how old are you?

Geordieminx · 01/01/2012 23:20

In dog years.... YOU'D BE DEAD Grin

If you're sticking with the Mme part shouldn't you make the sweet treat your geographically specific bit i.e. MmeTablet or MmeSoorPlooms?

how old are you btw? ;-)

GeriManda · 01/01/2012 23:23

Would you not become WifeyTunnocks now MmeL?

Bohica · 01/01/2012 23:24

I'm sorry to inform you all but Olivia buys her beloved's birthday cards in Asda.

I saw that card whilst buying expensive cigars

Happy birthday MmeLindor

Thumbinnapuddingwitch · 02/01/2012 00:01

Ha!! LAte to the party but I want to ask you NOW "How old are you, MmeL"? Safe in the knowledge that your answer now has to change!!

Hiding in bed so that dh and dd can make my surprise breakfast. Have to pretend to be still asleep.

Olivia
Do you think we could have a [champagne] emoticon? It doesn't feel right to use the Wine at this time of the morning.

We can make it [cava] if that fits better with these austerity times.

Happy birthday MMeL!!!

Thanks Wine

I won't ask you how old you are now. Grin

MmeLindor. · 02/01/2012 07:00

Thanks, Tee. Smile

Gosh, my stony face at Xmas must have hit home. Came down to table full of presents. Grin

A salt mill to go with the pepper mill, some herbs from Oliver and co, an attachment for the kitchen aid, and a pair of gorgeous swarowski earrings (sadly the exact ones that my friend bought me last year and apparently they don't exchange). Oh, and macaroons from laduree :-))

Feeling rather spoiled and pampered this morning. And the kids sang happy birthday to me on getting up.

Happy Birthday MmeLindorGrin

Happy Birthday Mme Lindor.

Now a box of Macaron from Laduree is quite a treat.

Their website just makes me salivate. You lucky thing!

MmeLindor. · 02/01/2012 08:00

Thanks :o

Gosh, this is a lovely attention seeking thread. So glad you are all here to oblige me.

[champagne] and [cava] for all.

Thanks

Don't ask people to ask you how old you are, cause they will on next day too.

Ahem.

Feck.

39 years young.

MIL phoned to depress me already.

Hassled · 02/01/2012 08:32

Oh you're still a young slip of a thing - DS1 told me the other day that I "looked 40" and the tragedy was that he meant it as a compliment :o.

Have a very happy birthday - hope you are well and truly spoiled :). Enjoy the cava!

notevenaChristmousie · 02/01/2012 08:44

Happy Birthday MmeL. Sorry you are feeling not so positive about the gaining in years. At least you don't have to work out whether you've had a birthday yet to work out how old you are like those of us with middle of the year birthdays
Olivia - are you keeping that namechange for the next 7 months?? Xmas Hmm

StealthPolarBear · 02/01/2012 08:44

Happy Birthday Thanks

StealthPolarBear · 02/01/2012 08:45
