I would say Big Debs but then that would come under the disaster category! Nope! Can't think of any! HAPPY BIRTHDAY you old tart! Love you! xxx
Happy birthday little sister.What a fab sister and auntie and great auntie you are. I remember changing your nappies and how flatulant you were. Nothing changes.Can't beleive you are half a century old! We'll have a drink to the next half when I see you. Much love - always. xxx
I thought you were fifty ages ago? Or maybe i just assumed it with all the senility and incontinence?
What happens when you're fifty then? Do you get half a letter from the welsh version of The Queen....Is that Shirley Bassey or Catherine Zeta Jones? I can never remember!
Happy Burpday Crazy Lady. xxx
Sam you are a cheeky git and I shall get you.
So I share my birth year with Osama Bin Laden and Stephen Fry........suddenly everything starts to fall into place!!
Thank y'all - had a brill day, made special by phone messages, texts, e-mails, visits, kisses,hugs, pressies and cards and dinner out with my ole man. I wasn't looking forward to being 50 because I thought there was nothing sexy, trendy or humourous about it. But when I woke up today I doscovered that i am in fact still sexy, trendy and humourous so there must be!! Thank you all for watching me and my little show here tonight....and I love you all!

But that would make her 50 years old and she doesn't look a day over 21. What's the name of her plastic surgeon, I'm sending the wife there pronto.
