Hi all.

It's my birthday (28) in 3 weeks. I have boked the day off, as I feel I probably 'should' - but I have no plans. At all.

I am curious as to what other MN'ers do for their birthday, particulary those around a similar age.

My idea of an awful bday would be doing nothing and feeling pretty lonely.

Ideas please..

Do you have a partner, good friend or family member you would want to spend part of the day with or do you prefer your own company?

Suggestions might be an extreme day trip (if you live close to an airport and have more energy than me), a spa day or half day (possibly with a treatment), nice long leisurely maybe boozy lunch, brunch or early evening meal out, going back to bed and chilling in the house or garden with sod all planned, a short drive to a nearby cute village or beach, shopping trip and lunch out, visit an art gallery, castle, museum or garden centre (whatever floats your boat).

I have gone on solo day trips or booked an activity with my friends, followed by dinner. Some birthdays I have worked because I like to be around people. Plus always an excuse to dress up for the day and night!
