well i am now officially a pensioner

had a wonderful day today with my mindees, their mums and friends

we hired a coach and went to Noah Ark for the day 10 adults and 20 children

we had such a laugh and everyone throughly enjoyed themselves

had such lovely presents and cards( nearly in tears at one point)

i am now laying down on the sofa waiting for my chinese to arrive.

Congratulations

. Sounds like you all had a fab day.
I can't wait to get to be a pensioner, actually I can't wait to get to 55, I'm going to move into the over 55's place where my mum and dad currently live. Lovely apartments, restaurant on-site, hairdressers, free laundry room, loads of socialising. I'm looking forward to it

Happy Birthday for yesterday - or as in Alice in Wonderland "Happy unBirthday" today. What a lovely day you had yesterday, is that Noah's Ark in Bristol or is there another one? Hope you had better weather than we did in Somerset. Did you get OAP rate on your entrance fee and do you get a bus pass now?

Happy birthday Cathy!

**ruby** · 17-08-2013, 07:26 AM

yes it was the one in Bristol because there was 30 of us we all paid £6.80 bargain as its usually £13.00 adults and £9.00 children

haven't got my bus pass yet as i don't catch the bus very often

but when i opened my birthday card from hubby he had got me my senior rail card and put it inside
