I will be 40 on the 7th of January, it is a naff day, always has been. No one ever wants to play.

We have been throwing a few ideas about tonight. The one I like best is me and my 2 sisters (both older) and neices (girls only), going to Blackpool or Brighton for the weekend. But that leaves out my 2 lovely brothers...they shoud come too shouldnt' they...(I would like them too).

What has everyone else done for their 40'ths. Does anyone lives where it will rock on the 7th of Jan...it certainly won't in Bedford.

Help me.

Don't know, I'm not 40 yet, but I think I would probably ****** off to Las Vegas for the weekend.

If you come to Brighton Cat - I will come and rock with you! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/ilovesurvivor/Smilies%20-%20Party/party05.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/ilovesurvivor/Smilies%20-%20Party/party-smiley-020.gif


I actually didn't really celebrate my 40th (I just went out for a meal with my children) as my both my parents had recently died and parting just didn't appeal. I've been making up for it ever since! :)

For my 40th I went to Butlins in Bognor with my son, my mum and dad, Max's family and my brother's family - 12 of us altogether. I for one had a fabulous time. We all had something to do and the last night was hysterical with me and Max absolutely drunk out of our brains doing Karokee. It is such a funny video and always makes me cry tears of laughter.

Butlins is a great place to go with a mixed bunch, but if you are all over 18 I've heard the 18+ themed weekend breaks are a scream.

Max is 40 this year and she could do with some ideas too!!!

I want these!! Sorry to go :offtopic: but I want them and I want them NOW!!!

I love the themed Butlins...are any happening over that week end. Will have to look won't I.

40's a funny year isnt' I hate the fact that my looks are fading away, but I also love the inner confidence inside.

Still wan't to get hammered and larf.

PS ILS..if its Brighton you will know.x

PS ILS..if its Brighton you will know.xDon't forget me and Coastie if it is - we are only down the coast from Brighton. And maybe Coastie will get the works boat and we could be there in a jiffy!

If you go to Butlins at Bognor that is even closer to me than Brighton :)

absolutley!!!

I think a girly weekend away (with 2 brothers and a fistfull of cyber mates) is sounding very appealing.

:devil:

Don't tell me - tell 'Da Boss'

Haydon, daaaahhhling....if you're out there.....

I'll be finished with him soon :ninja:

Cat, I think you should hire a hall, a bouncy castle and a foam making machine.

And a bunch of cleaners :mellow:

Mr F took me on a fabulous Caribbean Cruise for my 40th!

This came about as I didn't want to host a party with tons of people I didn't really want to spend my 40th with, and then I had the added probelm of friends and some family who are divorced, and me being me are still friends with both parties - it made the actual list tricky.

So we both spent our money on ourselves in absolute and unadulterated luxury. End result was - I still turned 40 and I still cried and I still hate being older than 36 - so although a fab holiday was had I was as miserable as sin at turning 40 - but I got over it.

But I havn't got many friends? How would I fill it.

Going by earlier footage. Grouchos rounded apendage would suffice???

do you know, i do believe that young Groucho may be coming up to a signficant birthday in January too.


maybe you could get together (fnar)

What a good idea. :)

PM me Cat and we can formulate a plan! :idea:

Enjoy Yourself!
I had a bouncy castle and I got a scalectrix.

How old will you be Groucho??? :wave:

15 days younger than you Cat :ninja:

40 in January too then!!

What are you planning....

:happybday

Max is 40 this year and she could do with some ideas too!!!

Next year if you don't mind, old timer.

Me and Mr M are both 40 next year, about 6 weeks apart, so we're in the same boat as you Cat, wondering what to do.

We were thinking of having a joint party but he would rather just have a night in a pub with background music whereas I know people I would invite would probably want to have a boogie.

We'll probably just end up doing a separate thing each with our respective families. But that sounds a bit boring and I think I'll regret it if I don't do something big. Then again I just can't be ar$ed to organize anything.

Then again I just can't be ar$ed to organize anything.

Just get Dol to organize it for you Max.... tell her what you want and then leave it all to her :laugh:

Then again I just can't be ar$ed to organize anything.

My feelings exactly on the subject Max! :glare:

*secretly hoping that wifey is planning a huge surprise party*

My husband's not good at surprises. :sad: Although I'm not sure I'd want a surprise party - I mean what about my outfit, hair, make-up etc?!! :ohmy:

Not sure that'd be such a problem for Groucho.

One blue shirt is much like another :wave:

It looks like we will have to celebrate at the next meet as there are so many members hitting 'The Big 40' next year!


*now all we need to do is to devise a way of getting Groucho there*

One blue shirt is much like another :wave:

You are SO wrong!!! :dry:

I was depressed this year at 30, so i dread to think what i will be like at 40 :huh:

I will probably buy a couple of bottles of champers, and sob the night away pussy snogging :cool2: Then again, maybe the pussies wont be around then :sad: Oh god, im getting sad already !!!!

sob the night away pussy snogging :cool2:
I have so many questions about this statement bonny, and I'm not going to voice any of them outloud! :excl: :ninja: :)

I decided not to even acknowledge it :ohmy:

I suspect Groucho may want to go to Bonnie's party :ninja:

Can you blame him :sad:

..moving on. I am on hold to Centreparcs as I type. It's looking like me, 2 x sisters and 2 x brothers enjoy a 4 bed villa.

We will larf and larf....just waiting for availability...(have been waiting for a whole glass of wine now..do you think that is their plan??)

Will let you know... :bye:

Hi Cat :D

Well, I think you should go out with the girls or even just have a romantic night in with your loved one.. anything which makes you feel better. I'd come for a drink with you if I could! :D

And 40's still young, y'know. I'm sure you don't look or feel it anyway. ;)

Cat- just make sure you get together with lots of people you love and who love you, and have a larf!!!!

Could be in a restaurant, a private party at your place or a weekend venue - whatever! With these things, its not so much what you do as who you them with that makes them memorable!

Whatever you decide, I hope its a cracking time for you. My 40th is a few years off yet (not as many as I'd like it to be though) and I have already formulated a plan. Its a bit of a pipe dream though and so not likely to happen, but whatever I do, I know who it will be with! :)

As its turning out, CentreParcs just us 5, will be lovely. Sisters..49, 45,40 and brothers 48, 38.

We will be a mature, sensible group :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sounds fantastic Cat - I'm sure you'll have a ball http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/ilovesurvivor/Smilies%20-%20Party/woohoo.gif

I hope so..just need the 45 sis to confirm.

:bye:

FOR YOUR 40TH BIRTHDAY...YOU SHOULD.........

Cover yourself in whipped cream and pop round to Donny Osmonds house and say....'Oh dear I've covered myself with cream and have no spoon...will you help me get it off?'

Or....you could simply go out for a day shopping, meal, cinema and then have a jolly good night! :wink2:

decided.

Invites have gone out...then a load more. We are having a huge party (possibly even with DJ) here, hiring (or borrowing Buzz's) marqee stylee thing.

Huge, it will be huge...all for me.

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

no going out for the day now tho, staying here to supervise. Might fit in a relaxing massage down the road tho.

Getting excited now.

Sounds fab Cat, I bet you'll have a ballhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/ilovesurvivor/Smilies%20-%20Party/party-smiley-020.gif

yep it does dosn't it.

pleased girly chops

Anymore acceptances Cat?

Officially I have had 2 no's and 3 yes's (including you Buzz).

I will keep a running total here.

With the food, which has to be very simple as I get so ****ed and can't be arsed, we are planning to have delivered huge platters of pizza and might make the effort with garlic bread which I can prepare the night before. Of course loads of nibbles will be scattered around. Any suggestions on this?

But most people know me and will have eaten before they come. Especially my sister who was once served a full roast as a finger buffett with raw broccolli I had forgotten to cook. Thought nobody would notice. Everyone was very polite and chewed hard.

:bye:

Edit to say, tony's is going out tomorrow.

Get your family to club together and buy you a facelift

And kiss your waistline goodbye

Getting very excited now. My 'DJ' has just been round and he is setting his decks up in the bay in the front room! We will have music, lights and A BUBBLE MACHINE!!! Mr & Mrs Buzz are coming round on friday to set up their gazeebo/marquee thingy...which will hopefully lead from the patio doors in the front room along the side of the house.

Fairy lights will festoon and delight.

Yeh, we know you are going to be over 40 Cat, but ils asked how many were coming:wink2:

Food is going to be.....loads of nibbles - some friends are preparing cheese/pineapple on sticks and other nibbles. We are then ordering in MASSIVE plates of pizza and garlic breads. I will be kept very busy opening the bags of crisps :wacko:

Cat
Aged 39 and 364 days.

Cat I know it may be a bit late - but if you got a few clean buckets, you could pour loads of different bottles into each and have cocktail buckets - you know like Tequila Sunrise or Long Island Iced tea - lable each bucket, stick a ladle into each and put them on the kitchen bench along with heaps of glasses/cups - and let the cocktails do the rest!!!

Yikes only 12 hours to go .... good luck and have fun!:drinking: :holiday:

Not long now Cat - are you getting excited?


Silly question really as you have been excited about it for months :wink2: :laugh:

Ooh Cat, less than twelve hours to go.

I am going to buy a bottle of wine to drink in your honour tomorrow night:drinking:

I really REALLY think that Cat should get a webcam and broadcast the whole event live on the internerd, and us saddos with no invitation could sit and raise a glass to her very good (if a little bizarre) health.

Not long now Cat - are you getting excited?



You have NO idea!! :laugh: :laugh:

Ooh Cat, less than twelve hours to go.

I am going to buy a bottle of wine to drink in your honour tomorrow night:drinking:


Andrea - Any excuse for a bottle of wine :laugh:


Cat - I'm actually going to the pub tomorrow night with some mates, so I will have a drink in your honour too! :drinking:

The party isn't till saturday tho.....you never know a few pics may be in circulation.

And yes I am getting very excited. Indeed.

The party isn't till saturday tho

Oh! so you are spreading the celebrations over 2 days - I should have guessed one day wouldn't have been enough for our Cat!!

What are you doing tomorrow then?

Tomorrow night Mr & Mrs Buzz are coming round (early) to very kindly set up their marqee thingy....and we shall discuss and plan a new entrance to the house as it is so long it blocks the kitchen door. We shall also be decking the halls with fairy lights.

Whilst discussions are taking place we will be drinking with semi gusto.....once plans are finalized we shall celebrate by feasting on a curry.

A very nice lead into a good party.

The party isn't till saturday tho.....
Oh well then I will just have to go out and buy another bottle of wine to toast you on your party night as well as your birthday tomorrow:drinking:

So are we going to have a party in the chat room tomorrow night?

Andrea - Any excuse for a bottle of wine :laugh: :drinking:
Who me, nah never:unsure:
