And for the birthday TODOs, how can I include the date of birth so that it shows
their age please? Like -
,----

You can use the following expression for birthdays
%%(diary-anniversary 11 2 1955) Daddy is %d years old
Ian.
I have this for my mums birthday
,----
| *** SCHEDULED Mums birthday, she is %d years old
| %%(diary-anniversary 02-12-1930) Daddy is %d years old
| DEADLINE: <2014-12-02 Tue 12:00> SCHEDULED: <2014-12-02 Tue>

but it isn't giving any output, and btw, that is 2nd December. So how should it
be used then please?
Sharon.
I am pretty sure the date needs to be in the same format as my example:
%%(diary-anniversary 2 12 1930) Mum is %d years old
Have a look at http://orgmode.org/manual/Weekly_002fdaily-agenda.html
for more info. Also http://orgmode.org/tmp/worg/org-faq.html contains
lots of useful hints on how to do more complicated things like repeating
appointments.
