I missed this thread NM .... so a belated Happy Birthday to you sweet cheeks ......

I used to be a naughty girl and ring my folks on my birthday, then sing "Happy Birthday" to myself! It was always met with good humour until a couple of years back when they both decided to rekindle their association and spend more time with their borgite mates. Now I don't bother even ringing when it's their birthday ... which is a shame as I'd make such a fuss and we'd all have a good laugh.

I'm still threatening to light the front of their house up like the proverbial Christmas tree though ... ... it's got so many handy vantage points to wrap and entwine lights around! Would be perfect!
