It's My Birthday!!!!

Hi folks. It is my birthday today and my hubby woke me up at 6.15am this morning to open my prezzies and cards that had arrived previous days. After I opened them all he then told me to go back to sleep!!!! He went into the bathroom to get ready. At 6.45am he woke me again and told me to get up as we were going into town for breakfast. I had a lovely slap up breakie. We were going out for a meal tomorrow evening for a meal with friends as it is my friends birthday Thursday so we were going out in between the two. They have rang to say they both have flu so will not be able to come. We will go out with them when they are better. Hubby and I will still go out though tomorrow.

I was really lucky girl again, I got more crafting goodies and two new nighties. Thank you all for the cards I received, they were all lovely. Others I know have got held up in the post. The post office doesn't need much of a reason, what with the snow and extended holidays we have been having. I have uploaded a scheduled card but will not be uploading a card for today.

Hugs
