Need A Little Extra Cash?
OK a totally possible scenario - especially in the current financial climate!
It's somebody special to you's 21st birthday (or maybe even yours) and if you could just get your hand on an extra couple of hundred pounds you would not have to cut corners and could treat them properly to a 21st they deserve. Sound too good to be true? Well one day it would have been, but now thanks to SameDayMoney you can do this with ease.
There are no hidden costs and decisions are made ON THE SAME DAY. In fact, you could make an application and have the loan money in your account in as little as 2 hours!
SameDayMoney charges a fixed rate of £25 for every £100 that you borrow with the idea being that you pay the money back on your next pay day.
EG. You have just been paid £900, but you really need an extra £200 this month. SameDayMoney would lend you this cash, then on your next payday you will have a direct debit of £250 taken out. SIMPLE AS THAT!
Just remember the golden rule....Do not borrow what you cannot pay back!

ITV have approached us and are producing a new series for LIVING TV following their hit show FOUR WEDDINGS. It's a brand new sister series, but this time its birthdays.

The series is kicking off with 21st parties, and the winning party walks away with a dream present – after all four birthday guys/girls have judged / scored each others.
It’s not just an amazing opportunity, but a great souvenir of the event.
Anyone interested needs to get in touch at fourparties@itv.com or call 02071573596
Just one condition! The event must take place in January or February 2010.

Major Update To Site
If you have recently visited the site and want to know what all the fuss is about, the fact is that you probably won't notice much of a change.
The site has been changed over to a new and improved system and the most noticeable change should be the URL's.
There have also been quite a few more ideas added and a totally new section called 'personalised gifts' as this was quite a popular request.
Please do get in touch if you find any problems with the site but touch wood everything should be fine and this website should be functioning a lot better now.
Get 21st birthday ideas hunting!

Who Was Born On My Birthday?
Who was born on my birthday?
Have you ever wanted to know the answer to that question and find out which celebrities and other famous people share your special day?
Well thanks to FamousBirthdays.com you can!
Simply click the link to view the website, then use the menu on the left to navigate to your month of birth. The page that loads will show every day of that month and all the people who have birtthdays in that month.
If you are searching for ideas for a friend or family members birthday then why not find out who they share their birthday with and get creative by writing about it in their birthday card? OK, so this may draw attention away from them on their special day, but I think many people would find it very interesting to see that they have the same birthday as Bob Marley or Tupac Shakur.
It's a great website, feel free to let me know what you think or even contact the owner 'Ed Morykwas' to give your feedback.
Have fun :-)

Royksopp's Happy Birthday
I was driving home from work today and heard the new Royksopp album being spoken about. Is due for release in March and something I am anticipating. They proceeded to play a new track by the group entitled 'Happy Birthday' which is available to download for free on the Royksopp Website.
I believe the track was released to celebrate the first official birthday for the group. It is a good track, although the repetitive 'Happy Birthday' chant can get rather annoying.
Nevertheless, have a listen! I am sure that it will sound that little bit better if its on your birthday too!

The Key To The Door?
When someone you know and love is about to turn 21, whether they’re your child, mate, niece or nephew or even a colleague, finding a gift that has a hint of the traditional, something memorable or a keepsake, but not something that will sit on the side gathering dust for the next 21 years can be a fairly tall order.
We’ve stumbled upon Cocoon Collection, a website that offers a range of 21st birthday gifts that does a pretty good job of offering pressies that are just a little bit different, (without any way-out wackiness of course!) but tend to include something thoughtful, memorable, even funny too!
Whether it’s simply a 21st birthday commemorative keyring or a whole Giftbox jammed full of goodies like 21st photo albums, 21st birthday mugs you can personalise at home, Belgian chocolates, and more, it might just be worth your while taking a look and seeing if there’s something on sale that fits your 21st birthday bill!

My Girlfriend's 21st Birthday
It was my girfriend's 21st birthday yesterday so I thought I would write a bit about what I did and have planned.
We were both due to go in to work in the morning, but I said I would pop round her house to see her before she left (she only lives round the corner). I had printed out some A4 'banners' and blown up a couple of balloons attached (see photo). Before I went to her house I tied four or 5 of these creations up to 5 telegraph poles along her route to work.
I then arrived at her house, gave her a couple of small presents (a box of nice chocolates, a Radley pencil case and Ipod holder) and wished her a happy birthday and proceeded to leave for work. On the way to work I recieved a phone call from her saying 'I cant believe you did that!'. Brownie point 1!
We had decided to both take a half day at work, so leaving at 12 I left to see her again. I said we could go wherever she wanted and this lead us on a road truip to Hastings for the afternoon. It was pretty windy, but as we were walking along the sea front I told her about the main present I had bought her...
I had booked us a fancy room in a hotel in Strand, London for when we are back from holiday in a couple of weeks. We are going to see the new Take That musical 'Never Forget' which she was ecstatic about. I was thinking of possibly going for a walk to China Town before hand to have a posh chinese meal!
Last but not least (which I can take no credit for), she is having a big party this weekend for friends and family which I will write a bit about later on as its all hush hush at the moment!

Turning 21 Is A Big Deal!
Turning 21 is a big deal. This landmark birthday finally sees you get all the benefits of adulthood so it is nice to mark the occasion with a special party for family and friends.
There are all kinds of themes you could choose for a 21st birthday party. Some are general and some can be tailored to suit the person who is turning 21. Let`s take a look at some popular 21st birthday party themes.
Popular birthday party themes
- The 21st theme: here the theme of the party specifically marks the 21st birthday. So, you could for example, decorate the party with 21st balloons, table cloths, decorations, flags and bunting. You could make this even more special by colour co-ordinating all of your decorations or by personalising them to show the name of the birthday girl or boy.
- The Fancy Dress theme: fancy dress is a fun way to make a party go with a bang and a lot of young people will really enjoy dressing up. You can keep things general here and just invite guests to dress up as they like or you could put a theme in place instead. So, for example, you could have a school days, molls and gangsters, film star, pop star or 1920s theme, for example.
- The Black Tie theme: if you prefer you could make the 21st party a really special occasion by making things a little more formal by asking all guests to wear evening wear such as black tie for the men and evening dresses for the women.
- The Personal theme: it`s always a nice touch to theme the party in such a way that really appeals to the person who is turning 21. So, for example, if the birthday boy or girl really like a specific TV show then you could ask all the guests to turn up as characters from the show and you could decorate the room or hall with suitable decorations.
Co-ordinating the party
Birthdays parties will be so much more memorable if you take a little extra time to make sure that the decoration, food, music and entertainment are all co-ordinated. So, for example, if you were to have a 1950s theme here you could decorate the room or the hall that you use for the party in a 1950s style and you could hire a band that can dress up in the right styles and play the right kind of music.
Conclusion
Given that the 21st birthday is such a special event it is always nice to make sure that the gift you give is one that can be treasured. This doesn`t mean that you have to spend a lot of money on 21st birthday gifts but it is important to choose well here. Popular 21st gifts include jewellery, glassware, photo frames and albums and commemorative items that mark the person`s actual birth date.
