Happy Birthday To Me!

Ok so its my birthday today. I'm 24 - fast track to 30 from here on in & I'm getting rather anxious about that thought actually so I'll change the subject to presents!

I got loads of chocolate in various guises (it's great having a biday now coz its only a few weeks to Easter & yet more chocolate!) from my aunts on my mam's side of the family & from the guys at work along with a few bottles of German wine. I've never had it before but have been assured it's very nice by JK, our resident wine expert.

I also got a diamante teddy bear brooch from J & E, a Xmas cactus from D my protege which I have named Red because of the colour of his flowers and a large glass jewellery box from T. Im annoyed at him for spending so much on me & it's not even a significant bday but bless him anyway xx

I also came home to a parcel which contained a bottle of champagne from a mystery person although I have an idea who sent it. From my nana (my mam's mother) I got some money & she will be getting a CD for me but it's not being released until 2nd April.

From my sister I got some more chocolate but we hardly speak to each other so I suspect my mam bought them & is pretending my sister did purely in am effort to keep the family together, bless her heart for trying but it's a lost cause! From my mam I got a Radley handbag & a ring holder in the shape of a shoe. Its gold satin (to match my room colours) & black lace & is really girly & pretty though it doesn't fit in with the Egyptian theme within my room but then neither does a Johnny Depp as a pirate, nodding figurine & a Johnny Depp calendar!

You may notice my dad is missing from this list. Shameful isn't it? Especially when I used to be Daddy's princess. Still he is paying for my bday meal out tonight but I do that every year & it isn't considered a present: more of a tradition.Oh & he did fix my bedroom clock for me though my mam's already tried everything regarding that so it will stop again soon I'm sure. Not getting anything from him hurt, more so when he didn't even bother to say happy birthday to me before I left for work.

I was actually going to moan that I had to work on my bday while everyone else on the admin side of the company has a day off but I can't be arsed now so I'm off to get ready for my meal out.

Oh I almost forgot! - I also got a fabulous Thornton's chocolate bday cake from my mam. It looks absolutely yummy! I can't wait to have a piece. Mmm ... chocolate. And yes boys, it WILL be better than sex!

Ciao for now
