Look on the bright side. If you were born X years later, you might have ended up as the daughter of Boris the Buffoon!

Sorry OP, but you really need to get some perspective here. When I had a hot dog on my birthday last year the sausage fell out and the dog ate it.
My condolences, I couldn’t imagine how I would cope in this situation. Just goes to show that things could always be worse.

Thank you very much! Birthdays don’t seem as special as they used to when you get older and messages like this (and all the others) from strangers bring some of the magic back!

This is utterly terrifying OP, I do hope your mother recovered in a timely fashion.

Happy Birthday…it’s my two year old granddaughter birthday today. Am just so annoyed that BJ latest child has been born today …feeling quietly cynical !! Feel sorry for the child. Born into a very dysfunctional family but they have money in comparison with the family that have had their 8th child with various fathers on local council estate !! Double standards maybe 🤔

It took several mulled wines and a few heart to hearts but I think she is over the worst. He was mayor at the time and I was just impressed that he had been on have I got news for you, little did we know what he would become…

Well despite the prejudice of being born on the same day,I reckon it’s a pretty good birthday. Not too close to Christmas but close enough that most people are ready for a celebration (future pandemics permitting) As for BJs latest sprog - best of luck to her and I wish her a fulfilling life.
