Well why break the habit of the last two years, which have seen me as Billie No Mates because of lockdown. I don't like big parties and ALL my friends together at the same time. I have different segments, I suppose, of friends. Not that I don't want them to meet, nothing like that, it is just logistically not really possible and I don't really want that. It's just a normal birthday, I shall be 43.
I did say to one group of girlfriends that I fancied going to a particular restaurant on my birthday (some months ago now) and brought this up yesterday, but one is already doing something that day, another was up for it, the third said "I'll let you know" (which drives me nuts).
As it's on a Sunday I can imagine if I ask others, it will be family stuff going on. So I decided I want to do something all by myself. I know I won't flake on myself, I can do exactly what I want, don't have to compromise or answer to anyone or come home early because someone else has something to do or walk the dogs or sort the kids out or something.
So I'd like some ideas please. It is a Sunday, so I can't do any beauty-related pamper stuff and I don't want to stay home alone so it's got to be going out.
Also what do you think about the idea? Do you reckon I am weird? I feel quite liberated actually, and can always have early or late birthday drinks with friends on a day that isn't my birthday and won't feel so loaded. In fact I might do it every year.
