It's my birthday next Monday and I've got the day off work. What should I do?

I've always thought that it's better to have the day off the following day instead.
So you don't have a birthday hangover.

I may suggest this to my performance manager tomorrow
since I've got 10 days' leave to use or lose before New Year... then I can have more mulled wine!

Evening Maladelica
How about baking the biggest birthday-cake in the world ever - complete with the largest candle you can find.

I like this idea...
just probably don't have a big enough tin!

Buy a brand-new metal dustbin and an angle-grinder.
DIY cake tin!
Did you get that socket fettled yet?

Not just yet... am looking at it right now.
The artist formerly known as my flatmate is coming over on Saturday to celebrate my birthday a bit early so I may get him to do it (he used to be a caretaker).

I may well do that, too :D then I'll have enough cake to see me through till the new year and not need Christmas dinner.

Hi Dicta
I would suggest that you celebrate your birthday on Saturday with a bash in London!

If not, then I don't know what.

Oh Woe indeed
Well you could always come to Clendrix and Kaol's bash on the 19th of December.

I shall pencil it in.
I have a horrible feeling I may have a maternal visitation before the festive season and my mother is not b3ta material...
( Maladicta, Mon 23 Nov 2009, 20:18, Reply)

Oh yes they are
Mothers are always B3ta material.

;)

This one isn't... she doesn't understand a lot of it.
And she knows even less about the non-parent-friendly parts of my life... she'd disown me.
( Maladicta, Mon 23 Nov 2009, 20:29, Reply)

To be honest
I wish mine would disown me, it'd save an awful lot of pain and suffering.

She's alright when she's not fussing over me.
I just wish she'd kick my father out, he's a waster and he's horrible to her.
( Maladicta, Mon 23 Nov 2009, 20:37, Reply)

There is a cure for that
A knife to the heart. Him, not her.

But honestly mothers are meant to fuss, I bet she's lovely.
(Herr Doktor Lemminge Is bored, so cheer me up!, Mon 23 Nov 2009, 20:45, Reply)

She is but there's a limit to how much fussing I can take ;)
and I agree with you about the knife... the man is a useless husband and a worse father!
( Maladicta, Mon 23 Nov 2009, 20:49, Reply)

Yup
Too much fussing is bad for the health. I hate men like that, I bet he thinks that everything should be done for him, just like mine does.

Well, he can't cook, thinks carrying an umbrella makes you gay
and begrudges her the petrol to visit her dying mother, 45 minutes' drive away, once a week. Oh, and he disowned me for living in England with an Englishman to whom I was not married.

That sounds like a very similar person
The older generation really do have some very strange ideas indeed. I just can't fathom them out sometimes.

Me neither, dude.
He was always OK to be around till I got old enough to have my own ideas and opinions...
