My life is currently pathetic

In a terrible relationship which I am planing to leave as on as save up enough

But it's my birthday and I because I don't also have friends I am struggling to find ideas on how to celebrate

I am not expecting anything from partner at all as he's an idiot

What can I do by myself pls any ideas?

Sorry to hear about your relationship do seek specific support from a by and for org if it's toxic in anyway! Even if you don't think it is

I spent my last birthday on a solo holiday.

Could you have a spa day?

Happy Birthday! Treat yourself to whatever makes you happy.
Spa day as previous poster said, cinema, long bath, nice meal. Sending lots of and wishes x

If you aren't at work that day, how about a nice long walk somewhere beautiful with a pub lunch half way? No company needed, but perhaps a pod cast or audio book if you would like? Or a trip to the cinema or theatre? Then in the evening cook your favourite meal and have your favourite thing to drink. You could also buy yourself some flowers and chocolates - spoil yourself as you would a friend.

What about a train to your nearest city, have a walk around the sights and the shops and treat yourself to a nice lunch.

Hammams are lovely. I go alone for my birthday. It feels nice to be scrubbed down and even better if they have a massage too.

If you're ok going solo then there's plenty yoi can do. It just depends on what you like.
Spa day followerd by the theatre / music event and or dinner.
A hike, boat ride, cooking class, art class and so on.
Personally, I'd book a trip somewhere- preferably a plane ride but another UK city or the coast could be lovely too.
Buy yourself a treat such a new book, perfume, chocolates, new gadget.

I never make it anyone else's responsibility for celebrating myself.

Hope you have a lovely birthday when it comes.
