Have a very happy birthday, lovely lady

Enjoy being most superior with your years of knowledge and experience, yet young enough to still look good

Happy birthday, my dear MI

I'm only a year behind you - but still feel like 25ish! Where did those missing 20years go?

fizzbuzz · 05/06/2008 14:09

Facing this in the Autumn....but I know I am really 25!

Then I catch site of myself in a mirror....and think who is that middle aged frump..........then I realise it is me, and I'm not actually 25 . After all that was in the late 80's

Happy Birthday
