Birthday

On a serious note (real life stuff), I had a lovely day today. I didn't want much fuss because last year (my 30th) was such a huge let down. I planned nothing and expected nothing and it was perfect.

I woke up to my husband who fed the cats and brought me all my cards and gifts to bed so I could unwrap them. Then at work I bought everyone cakes. Then I got a card from work (and my best friend).

Then, a flower lady arrived. I never get flowers so carried on on the phone. Then she stood next to my desk so I put the caller on hold and they were for me! I had no idea who they were from but was relieved to see my husbands hand writing. I honestly was thinking of everyone but him and dreading the drama from some people who've threatened to send me flowers. I was a bit giddy with excitement and ran to the kitchen with my mobile to thank him. He asked if I liked the message which I hadn't read in my shock. He asked if I like the flowers he picked and I confessed I hadn't looked as I just ran away. I thanked him lots and lots and was so happy. Once calm, I got one of the girls to take a pic of me with my flowers so I could send it to my husband. One of the lads helped with suggestions on how to keep my flowers fresh (jug of water and propped against a book case as the bouquet was huge).

Then I met two friends for lunch at the pub and was treated to my scampi and chips. The afternoon went quick and then afterwards I was taken out for dinner by my husband. Once home I had calls from mum and dad both wishing me a happy birthday.

I got lots of lovely messages all day. Then I had a bath. Split my bouquet into two vases and tucked myself up in bed to share this.

I'm so happy I feel full of love. Love you all xxx
