Happy 40th OP! 
Hope your DM is better and out of hospital soon. Then you should book a meal and treat yourself.
As for tonight, hope you've got some treat food and a nice bottle of wine xx

Happy birthday.
I have my 40th this week too and I just know that my four siblings will forget, just as they have for the last twenty years.
I hope your day turned out to be a lovely one.

Happy Birthday!
If it's any consolation, I had supposedly loving DP when I turned 40 and had to buy my own cake. A man won't necessarily sort your birthday out -- best to make your own plans.
