What should I do for my 30th birthday this year?

Question

My birthday falls on Melbourne Cup Day this year and I thought I might go, but it's getting nearer and I haven't even started saving yet. ( I live in Perth) What should I do instead that could top that?

Answer 1

Or head over to Rottnest Island and book a nice hotel there for 2 nights, it will seem like a getaway without the massive costs. Invite girlfriends and wear your hottest,sparkliest dress. Spend all afternoon getting ready with the girls over champagne and then go out looking your best for lots of cocktails and then sober up at a nice restaurant, where you can force them to sing happy birthday. The next day head tothe beach and when your headaches subside hire some bikes.

Or just keep it simple and go with your man, if you are seeing anyone.

Answer 2

No way!

My birthday is the day before yours!

Mine falls on Melbourne Cup every few years, as yours would.

Come to NSW, pick me up and we'll go to The Cup!  lol

Why don't you go and see a live band or go to a comedy theme restaurant for your birthday.  How about paintball or go-karting, horseriding or white-water rafting?

If you're a true Scorpio, you may even want to tour a few haunted houses!  lol

Answer 3

Don't worry, you have plenty of time to save if you are going to Melbourne. $50 a week gives you $700 or so. You might even be able to get a cheap flight with the Tiger airline if they hurry up and come to Perth. Otherwise why don't you do a winery thing (and get totally slaughtered) with some mates or go the casino (even though it is kinda dodgy) and still catch the races, Maybe head to Margaret River for the w/e or just enjoy the races here.

What if you go to Ascot? That way you can get all your friends to come too!
