Well my friends..my birthday came and went...
My laze in bed was interrupted very abruptly at 7.30 a.m. by my post man....i was not a happy bunny, cos not getting up with the alarm is one of the major joys of having a working day off....However, when i saw the huge box he had delivered i let him off.....[on reflection i should have dragged him in to make recompense...- several times....

]
The box contained a lovely bouquet of flowers from my nearly-step-children...very nice...
i went back to bed for another snooze and awaited my [yes i was right] toast/marmalade and tea...
Opened my very nice gifts from my girls and ex-hubby... Including; DVD, chocs, wine, MP3 plug in ear muffs, mug, manicure stuff....
Had my bubbly soak..ex and in ternal.....
Found out why i didn't get an egg for brekkie...Meggie had used them all baking me a birthday cake the previous day...it was iced, personalised and had a subtle ammount of candles on it too...

Several friends did visit during the course of the day...

And i had a fab night bowling and beering...

myself hoarse ...got home to a 3rd degree style interrogation from the girls..but i was home before midnight..

and

like the proverbial log...A very nice day indeed....
Anonsi..you brought a tear to my eye with your comment...soppy sausage you.....
But thanks again for all your good wishes.....
