Another year wiser? hmmmm probably not, but i did have a really nice birthday. I cant believe im now 29. First thing my brother popped round with a couple of cards and some money. I love getting birthday cards but the fact that i get one with auntie on it, is wonderful. Ok gushy moment over now :-)
I had a parcel arrive this morning. It wasnt a birthday gift, but some of the folks from scotland sent me a wonderful package of minature bottles of baileys and a large box of belgium chocolates. It was a wonderful suprise and was very happy to receive them.
I had my driving lesson at 12.30 for an hour, then i had to pop into town for my eye test. Aparantly although my eye sight hasnt changed much, my glasses wernt the correct perscription, so it was a good job i went. My new glasses are really nice and i have paid the extra to have special glass in them so that they can also be used as sunglasses. I have to go in on friday to pay for them and hopefully they should be ready for then also. I then had to run a couple of errands. So i brought a sandwich for my lunch, and pottered around town. I have to make a christmassy outfit for work to wear on christmas eve and boxing day. Do you know how hard it is to find white fluffy material at christmas? I thought it would be really easy, but alas i couldnt find any at all. I did manage to buy some wool though. Andy from work always has these really cool scarfs and i found out his mom knits them, so she is also making me one.
I got back home about 4pm and ate my sandwich. At 8pm i was meeting some friends in my local for a drink. My single friends couldnt make it, so it was me and three couples, but it was a really good night. I broke away from drinking my usual Baileys as they sell another one of my fave drinks in the pub. Cherry B. Yes i know its a bit of a old ladies drink, but i really like it.
So far for my birthday i have had.
A handbag
Scented candles
scented cushions
money
My driving lesson paid for
posh bath sugar ( with a groovy wooden spoon )
Vodka chocolates
4 faita ( ignore spelling) griddles with wooden bases
A tortilla serving dish
A tortea( ignore spelling again ) warmer
A large snacks bowl with matching dip bowl
The mexican set is wonderful, i picked it out a while ago its all terracotta ( i really must buy a dictionary lol )
and looks very cool. I am looking forward alot to using them.
Tomorrow im back at work in the day, then its my housegroup christmas party in the evening. Its the usual bring and share event, so will have to think about what to take with me when im at work tomorrow.
