Lovely birthday

I had such a nice birthday. Three of my flatmates came into my room after midnight to say happy birthday and give me pressies and cards. I woke up to find 6 text messages from my brother, mum, dad, brother's girlfriend and two of my best mates! Ahh to feel loved...

Got about 25 cards and loads of messages on the internet and texts througout the day. A few people surprised me by not getting in touch when they knew full well that it was my birthday. That spoke volumes...and has been mentally noted...

At lunchtime I got my flatmates into the kitchen, I opened Bucks Fizz, had some cakes and made them watch me open my cards and presents. The funny thing is they all were busy working on their disserations as the deadline was the day after. I don't think they were particularly in the mood but did it for me which was sweet of them.

In the afternoon I went shopping with the influx of cash I received. Bought some hot pink underwear ( really nice), two tops possibly for Sat night. Met two friends from school that night, we went for food along the river. It was a really nice evening and generally a really nice day. It was always going to be wierd being away from home but I feel I made the most of it and made a point of telling everyone I came across that it was my birthday!!!

Am now looking forward to Sat night. Booked some tables at a cocktail bar in central. Got random different groups of people going along so no idea whether that will work or not.... Fingers crossed, I just want to have a nice chilled out night...then ahhhhhhh! Monday I finish my masters...how scary is that!
