What sort of ideas do people have about actually celebrating the big day?
I know its pretty odd to some people but for my 40th birthday we all went off to Colchester Zoo! I just love animals and birds so for me it was a great day. I know this is not for everyone so over the next few weeks I am asking here and on Facebook, what people would like to do for the big day itself.
To start it off I was talking to the assistant caretaker at my son's school and she is thinking about booking a recording studio for a morning. The idea being that her and her friends can record a couple of songs and keep them as mementos off her big day. Her son did this a while ago and I will find out the contact details if anybody wants to know more.
She also said that her brother went dumper-truck racing on his 40th birthday with his friends. I did this on a friends 40th and had a great laugh. Not sure why it is called dumper-truck as they are smaller tracked vehicles but it was still great fun racing up and down the couars and only cost about £40.00 each. More details to follow.

| 19th January 1972 | First things first, Happy 40th Birthday - Below are some interesting facts related to your birthday and birth date that you may not have known.
You were born with Elizabeth II on the throne and Edward Heath as the prime minister. In this year Leeds won the FA Cup, Spurs won the first UEFA Cup and Bloody Sunday saw the deaths of 14 people in Derry, Northern Ireland.
It was possible to buy a 3 bed house for around £5,800 and you could get absolutely hammered for well under a pound, a bit of luck as the average weekly wage was under £14.00!!
An interesting fact about today is that a new bicycle race called The Tour De France was announced this day, 1903. |
