What would you do?

[Barmaid]

I have a "big" birthday very soon. I happen to know that arrangements are afoot for a "surprise" party. Trouble is, I really don't want any fuss or any money spent or people to go to a lot of trouble but on the other hand, I don't want to offend the people I love by repeating my assertions that no-one is to do anything.

I actually find the idea a bit embarassing and am quite uncomfortable with it.

So would you a) just shut up, put up and "act surprised" (and gracious) on the day or
b) say that you know and you would rather it didn't happen and sound churlish to boot?!

You'ld better not cancel the party - we have all made arrangements, and we'll be bloody annoyed.
