Tonight I was meant to be going to Kirstys house for a birthday DVD night but unfortunately her house became a plague house and she had to cancel for the safety of humanity. Lyndsay came to the rescue and let me, Eileen and Sarah descend upon her abode.

She fed us Kramola Fizz (the replacement for Cremola Foam, a staple at my Grans house when we were growing up. It was pretty awesome)
Sarah and Eileen created Sherry Bombs (teaspoon of Kramola Fizz mix licked off the back of your hand, and then washed down with a sip of sherry)
Sarah approved of them. I declined the offer to try one. I was quite happy with my glass of raspberry flavoured God water.
Mum also made me a birthday cake, which Sarah decorated (of course. Its her role in the family now...)
I enjoyed my cake. It was a nice wee evening all in. I also got some lovely presents. I have been well and truly spoiled this year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

I got cake from the people in work (and also a profanity generator flip book :-S )

And, among may other lovely presents, this vintage necklace from mum and dad. Mum also made amazing orange chicken for dinner and tomorrow I am going to have a DVD night with Eileen, Sarah and Kirsty. Yay for birthdays!!!

Today is my youngest nephews 5th birthday. Here's the birthday boy winning second place at our Easter egg hunt this year. Happy Birthday Ethan!!!

Also this monkey has made my day today. Its a black macaque from Indonesia that nicked a guys camera and managed to take a picture of itself. Ok so it's not a picture I took, but it is still a photo from my day.

Happy (almost) Birthday to me!!!!

Got my first birthday cards today, from my Gran and Aunt Maureen. They are now sitting pride of place beside the telly, and hopefully they'll be joined by a few more on Thursday.

Today was Ethans 5th birthday party, although he isn't actually 5 until Tuesday....
The day was warm enough to allow us to have the buffet out the back garden. Here is Elise giving Uncle Graeme into trouble, I suspect because he is lying on her pink blanket. Birthday boy Ethan is in the orange cap behind Elise.

Today was the first day of my holiday with Eileen and Lyndsay. The holiday was to celebrate our 30th birthdays (I would like to take this opportunity to point out that my 30th is not until next July. I am still only 28. However by the time I turn 30, Eileen and Lyndsay will be too old to celebrate and as they both turned 30 this year we chose to celebrate them all this summer).

Mum made us a birthday cake to take with us and i bought possibly the most classy birthday candle ever created. It even sang Happy Birthday. Infact it didn't stop singing Happy Birthday until I smashed it on the ground hours later and ripped the wee electronic bit out.

HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY ANDREW!!!

A lovely birthday party (with an excellent buffet!) was had by all and I think Andrew was suitably spoiled. He even liked the dressing gown and slippers I bought him!

Also, me and Eileen took a jaunt to Tesco this evening and found this little guy:

The happiest deformed tomato ever!! We found him with the face drawn on and he just looked like he was dying to have his picture taken.

Tonight was Eileen's 30th birthday party. The night had been named Gin and Tears. There was gin but, as far as I am aware, there were no tears. I think its a safe assumption that Eileen had a good night and turning 30 ain't so bad after all :)

Went over to see Eileen today, as its her birthday. Dropped off her pressie, which I think was a hit.

I was also greeted by 2 ill children and one who had been having typical little boy fun with his big cousin.

I actually think Lewis had been literally rolling about in the mud. Apparently he and Connor had just been playing football.

The picture doesn't do his muddyness justice and moments after this picture was taken he was whipped off for a much needed bath.

Happy Birthday Eileen!!

Today was the 2nd birthday of my niece, Elise. This is her birthday cake which was made by my dad (her granda) and decorated by my younger sister, her Auntie Sarah, with Peppa Pig (oink oink!). For reference, this is Peppa Pig in her cartoon glory:

Pretty good, eh?

Also, in other news, anyone for some guinea pig salad?

NB - Ok, so I know I said '1 photo a day' but lets just agree to change that to 'ATLEAST 1 photo a day'. Ok? ok.
