Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me! Yes, I was lucky enough to be given a laptop for my birthday today by my lovely husband so I am now free to roam with wireless!

And it's not just any laptop – it's pink! Very me...

I'm planning to take the laptop with me on our cruise which leaves on 3rd September so I'll be able to regularly update my blog and share our adventures with you all.

I'm so excited! Well, I need to get some chores done now before the family arrives to celebrate my big day...more later.

Well, what a day! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. We had a lovely day and I got so many lovely presents. William and Benjamin had to help Grandma open them there were so many! Lots of clothes, books, jewellery, and of course Lillie, my lovely pink laptop. (I think she deserves a name, don't you?) But to top it all off, the last present I opened was a huge box, beautifully gift wrapped, from Gaz. He'd already given me Lillie this morning so I was a little bemused and couldn't imagine what it could be.

I was stunned to find 2 large packs of Haig's rocky road (my absolute favourite), but nestled in between the yummy chocolate was a jewellery box containing the most beautiful diamond ring I'd ever seen. Apparently 30 years of whining about my small(ish) engagement ring had finally paid off! Suffice it to say, that ring will NEVER be mentioned again!

We then had a fantastic lunch (cooked by Gaz) followed by a scrummy cake baked by my mum. A couple of hours shopping with Carly topped off the day. I have certainly had a wonderful birthday – thanks everyone for you birthday wishes.
