id you know that if you have 23 random people in a room, there is a 50-50 chance that two of them will share the same birthday? It’s a little bit of team. Lizzy’s grandmother, best friend growing up her first boyfriend were all born on August 15. Beth shares October 20 with her Aunty Shelley, and Lisa’s daughter Ava celebrates her birthday on the same day as her cousin Milly. After chatting for a while, we discovered that we all tended to have friends (and ex-boyfriends!) who were born around the same time. I have two significant exes born a day apart in May, while all of Beth’s exes and her lovely fiancé Suddy celebrate birthdays within a couple of weeks of each other. As we marvelled at such coincidences, Sarah piped up that there was a very simple answer to why this was. ‘You’re attracted to people who share the same star sign!’ she said, noting that most of her friends were all Pisces. ‘The end of February can get very busy,’ she said. We’d love to hear about the birthday coincidences in your life!
