I won't be at the party... Just doing the catering for it as our birthday present to him....
Well I hope they have a good party - 18th's should be something to remember - and you get a well deserved rest

DD doesn't want an 18th party. She just wants to take a couple of friends out to a restaurant. Is she weird??

Nope.... I "worked" my 18th... On the desk at a nightclub in Norwich with a bottle of southern comfort tucked under the counter... An empty botlle by the end of the night

Would much rather have been having a quiet meal with a couple of mates.... Honest

That's pretty much what I did.

So probably

Nope, not weird. My daughter didn't do much for hers either. And if I remember correctly (bearing in mind it was a loooooooong time ago) I didn't do much for mine either.

My parents took me out for a meal on my 18th with my then boyfriend and as a present paid for my first holiday without them. I didn't want a party as that money was better spent IMO.

Took my daughter to meet her friend at the beach for a 2 hr play this morning. Tonight the sunburn has reared it's ugly head on my legs and feet! (I did have suncream on. It's just my white celtic bloody skin!).

I usually have to cover up when I'm on the beach, but get caught out every spring here.

How has my day been? Well, to be honest, entirely spoilt by intrusive members of my family, who normally regard me as being similar to nuclear waste, deciding to turn up uninvited. Now they're even more hacked off with me because I told them to piss off, and locked all the doors and windows, and disconected all the phone/internet connections for a couple of hours.
Meh! I didn't invite them! They just turned up. So they were equally welcome to depart...

I'm sure more than one of us has wanted to do the same - and not had the guts

Yes, well. I'm considered the black sheep of the family, mainly because I don't give a stuff for their pretentiousness, and I'm also prone to saying, loudly, what I think, all the more so if it sounds like Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson with a stubbed toe and a hangover!
