Do You Still Celebrate Your Birthday?

I don’t like being the centre of attention so hated having birthdays. I’m happy just going out for meal.

I love celebrating my birthday, The only birthday that's better than my one is God's son's. I think that one's brilliant because Jesus has a birthday and we get all the presents. LOL

My partner and I always go away on our birthdays rather than have all the fuss at home. Family and friends are used to it now.

I don’t really as i don’t really see the point in waiting till my birthday to treat myself. If there’s something i want to do around the time of my birthday i may do it for my birthday but if there’s nothing i fancy i’m happy doing nothing

Yes, 59 this Friday, booked all weekend off, partner off too, Student Radiographer Daughter home last week to take me out for a meal & bake my birthday cake but she was too ill, I told her it didn't matter, I will celebrate in June with her when she's home, I just want her to relax & take it easy.

Partner & I are hoping to do something Friday , weather doesn't look too promising..

Saturday, I'm hoping to celebrate with my friends on a night out..

Sunday If not too tired from my night out I will join my close friend at Mass then in the afternoon Partner & I are booked in for a Caribbean meal so looking forward to that

Monday would have been my late Mum's 95th birthday so during my celebrations over the weekend I will be laying flowers for her & my late brother who would have turned 61 on May 6th..

Then I'm back at work Monday til Tuesday morning...

Since our son was born I don't bother with my birthday. Mine is 2 days after his, so I don't see the point anymore. I was never big on celebrating it anyway so I'm not missing anything. I always make my parents a special dinner when it is their birthday and get them presents but that is enough for them, they don't celebrate theirs either. Although we did through Granny a casual party this year which our son loved so think we will have to do that for his other Grandparents too.

I really only make a big deal of the large 0 numbers otherwise it’s just a meal on the closest weekend rather than on the day. My boss gets really annoyed when his doesn’t fall on a weekend or tie in with Easter bank holidays, it doesn’t matter to me if I’m working on it or not

No not really, it's just another day to me, I don't think I've ever really celebrated it

I always go away for my birthday and this year is no different, all booked to go on a cruise end of November for my birthday in December.

We have a meal out for birthdays, unfortunately my family are all in January and February I’d rather big birthdays (my son and I both turn a respectable 21 and 40 within 12 days of each other in 2026) we may have a party or two to celebrate with family and friends or a go away on a holiday to celebrate. Nothing decided for the big ones!

We husband and son and I usually just have meals out, whether it be an expensive place or a pub.

This year for my birthday we went to miller and carter (had a gift voucher for Xmas so used that towards it) and it was a lovely meal expensive but it’s a once in a blue moon meal.

Celebrated with my long term partner with a nice late lunch in Tideswell then a walk at Tideswell Dale on my birthday 24th May. Bought a nice Pizza, Garlic Chiabatta in Bradwell & a small cake on way home in Sheffield for a late Dinner..

Not really, we have a takeaway and a wee cake for the sake of my son. But not really any need I don’t think
