It’s Shakin’ Stevens birthday today...

That means it’s my birthday.

It really is this old rocker’s birthday too but I use his birthday as a proxy for talking about my own.

Why?

Because I’m not that bothered about my birthday and actually I don’t like the attention.

It’s easier to celebrate someone else’s birthday so every year at work I bring cakes in for Shakey’s birthday.

How do you feel about your birthday?

Which celeb do you share a birthday with?

    I share my birthday with a colleague, so we only have to supply half the cake! Woohoo

    Other than that, I would prefer to just update my age on the 1 January of each year instead of having to wait until the birthday to use the new number.

    Birthdays are strange. If I celebrate mine I feel selfish and 'Me, Me, Me' but if others do it, I don't think they are. I celebrate the round ones. Otherwise I just have a normal day.

    Had a very normal day apart from taking cakes (and fruit) in to mark Shakey’s special day.

    Hubby is desperate to whisk me off somewhere as a birthday weekend treat. Will be lovely but I wouldn’t complain about a simple lock-in just watching my fav sci fi films, finishing my latest Jack Reacher book and binging on podcasts Shrug♀️
