Belated Birthday wishes for your son on his Birthday. Sounds like he has had a full week of celebrations and lovely memories made.
Hope you haven't worn yourself out to much.

WOW, a good time was had by one and all Liz, I'm so pleased your son had a special 30th and you must be shattered but happy to have such lovely memories of so special a day! hugs Gxx

O.h. has done him a disc with all his photos on including some mini videos too so he can watch that as well as look at the photos people took on the disposable cameras there

Well it's obvious I can't hack late nights out now lol, I slept for hours yesterday to get over the party lol

Rang my lad later on to see if he was ok, he said he wasn't feeling 100% after the tummy upset and then drinking quite a bit of alcohol (his mates were buying him lager and tots/shorts too) but had had a great time and was ok. He said they gave out the balloons to other clubbers who were allowed access to the room after midnight from the dancehall downstairs but he kept the photoboards and other things and took them home with him. His boss had also organised a book where everyone wrote messages for him too which was lovely, there were some funny and some naughty sketches on some pages but some lovely messages too and most written early in the evening before alcohol clouded minds.
I am really pleased he had a good time, it will have given him a boost that was badly needed as his confidence has taken a knock with being out of work for so long. Maybe soon he will find his niche and be happily back at work before Christmas. It will be a testing time for his relationship too as so far his gf has only known him while he is around most days and so able to be flexible about time spent with her while her little lad is at nursery or with his daddy, the lad starts school proper in September.

Thanks again for all the good wishes

Never mind Cane, thanks anyway. He has had an extended birthday this year lol as we spent last evening together too altho I had to share him with nearly 40 of his pals.

On Friday my son was quite poorly, stomach upset which sounded to me the way he used to get when he was really overtired as a child, he did get some rest and was sort of ok by Saturday lunchtime altho didn't feel up to going out with his pals in the afternoon as had been arranged. That made things very difficult for his gf as she had been organising a surprise party for him at his favourite local venue and lots of people were supposed to be turning up. She managed to make an excuse to go out and left him sleeping, and she and her friend went and decorated the venue with 16 helium balloons, blue and silver stars and such, a big banner she had ordered especially for him saying Happy Birthday G and a pic of him on there. She also put up three big cardboard displays of photos, I helped with those and got lots scanned of him as a toddler etc, and fun ones from our holidays and such. His older female friend and boss at his part time job did a big Pass the Parcel up with quirky gifts in each layer and his gf sketched a donkey on a big piece of paper and made it into a Pin the tail on the Donkey game. There were bowls of sweets and lollies on each table and some disposable cameras as well, and his boss hired a table tootball game. (She calls herself his big sis and has always been very supportive of my lad, she has no family close by and has now decided if my lad is her brother, I must be her spare Mum lol I don't mind in the slightest, she is a lovely young woman)

My o.h. and I got there at 8 pm and gradually others came in, and at 8.30pm my son's gf brought him in. He thought he had arranged a sort of get together with a few mates at a pub for the evening, and she had to do a bit of fibbing to get him to the venue instead but his face was a picture when he saw all his mates there, mostly single lads but some with gfs and some female friends too. I was so proud at the way his friends from school and later on employment had turned up with cards and hugs for him, made me quite emotional. We have loads of pics, his gf had recorded all his favourite music on her ipod so that was played in the background and all in all it was a great night. We left them to it at 10..30pm - we had had it by then lol - and they had the room till midnight and then the main venue was available to them all as well (downstairs)

I think that's one birthday he will remember for a long time.

wishing you all a smashing day together <3 <3 <3

Thanks Eileen and Kathy, I met up with son's gf yesterday and she says he really loves the bike stand, and has already fixed it up to try it out, and mended his puncture. He can't drive (can't afford any more lessons or test fees as he has failed twice) so uses his bicycles a lot, he has an old Chopper type one from when he was younger and an ordinary one too, so gets around on one of those. He has become good at fixing things when they go wrong, and also good at doing stuff at home, he installed his new washing machine himself and a secondhand dishwasher I got him some time ago was installed by him and then fixed when the pump went wrong.

Talk to you soon Kathy, take care

love to all

Belated Happy birthday to your son.

Thanks folks, I will pass your greetings on. We had a nice afternoon/evening with my lad and his girlfriend.

We took his pressies and cards round to his flat and he loved his gifts, one thing I got him was a stand to hold his bike while he repairs it as he is always fiddling about with his three different bicycles and it will save his knees - he has had a few problems lately and had to have physio on one knee. We then went to a local Italian restaurant that I have been to before, he hadn't been but trusted my judgement. When we got there an old school friend of my son was working, I forgot I had seen her there last time. She is a lovely young woman who at one time was close friends with my lad and they did look at sharing a rented house together but didn't get it. Then she became pregnant so the idea was shelved. She is now settled with an 8 yr old and a three year old and a partner and works full time. They were both happy to meet up again and she brought a lovely bottle of Prosecco in an ice bucket with her compliments, so that was a great start to the evening. The food was really good as usual and then the cake we had taken along was brought to the table by my son's friend with the candles lit and that was lovely, o.h. got a mini video of the Happy Birthday singing and blowing out of candles.

All in all a nice way to celebrate, my son and his gf went off to meet other friends and o.h. and I came home. There is something else happening on Saturday but in case he looks on here I will say no more.

When we got back my friend from Miami had called to send birthday wishes to so it was nice that lots of people were thinking about him, even tho his father managed to forget, despite his younger son coming up to his 20th bday on Saturday. Two sons with ten years and four days between them, you would think the father would remember both lads' special days! Oh well, his loss.

My son makes me very proud as you all know lol

thanks again
