Tier 4 birthday tomorrow - what can I do?

I haven't left the house since Sunday (to post presents as we can't see people over Christmas). I'm in tier 4 and have one child in isolation due to a case at school. Tomorrow I turn 40. Should I make the other child go for a walk in the cold so I get out of the house, or spend the day in my pj having a drink? I'm working the 24th so can't even get drunk. Any ideas?

Oh that sounds spectacularly rubbish! I'd go for PJs and a take away delivery. I think a half birthday celebration in June/July will be in order.

Happy birthday for tomorrow! You’re 3 days younger than me.

I’m only in tier 1 (Scotland) but honestly just didn’t bother with anything. I would try getting out out the house for some fresh air if you can.

I had my birthday in April when everything was shut even the car parks at our local country parks. I was lucky enough to have nice weather and a day in the garden but I also had gin and Chinese takeaway and cake all of which I recommend. I also had a half birthday weekend in October and we went away so I also suggest planning that 😀

Take away, PJs and getting tipsy would be my preference in the situation!

Me too! Happy birthday to us,OP!

Happy birthday us! I'm thinking drag one child out for a bit with a takeaway hot choc as a bribe, leaving isolation child and husband at home. Then pj's, film, food and alcohol.

Happy birthday! It’s my birthday on the same day. Will be outside on a walk, pretending that it’s not raining. 😬

Happy Birthday. Definitely try to convince the DC not isolating out for a walk. Treat them to a takeaway drink and piece of cake.Cake
Then home, takeaway and pj's all round Flowers

Mines on the 29th and I'm on my own. I'll make a special effort to get dressed, chat with friends on the phone and have a glass of Prosecco!

Happy birthday! WineCakeFlowers

Thanks everyone, we had a short muddy walk, did abut of food shopping and had a hot choc, them home for pj and films. I had a couple of people pop round for door stop deliveries which was lovely to see them.
