Birthday goodness!

Oooh I had a good birthday. I did! It was very easy going and I really enjoyed my day. First the kids woke me up with their presents... no hang on.... I woke them up by shouting 'Where are my prezzies?! get up will ya!!!' :D and they obliged. Then I went to see my Dad and he had got me some vouchers (he's still not well enough to get into town so my Mum got them for him) he was worried I would be disappointed... but I was thrilled! Waterstones and Hmv vouchers! How could I not be happy! :D Best presents ever!
Then my friend took me out for lunch to a tearoom which used to be a railway station. (Station tearooms, fancy that!) and it is so pretty there. (Picture from Wikipedia, as I didn't take my camera out with me at all yesterday!) It was very sunny (not like the picture), we sat in the garden and had our lunch! He asked if I was going to put it in the blog that he'd taken me. I don't know! everyone is very blog wise lately. L asked me if I would put a picture on the blog of the plant she got me... here it is! She chose it herself. So lovely. Then J went to meet L from school and I went to my parents and my Mum had got me some lovely treats two of which were L'oreal's mineral face powder and blusher! Absolutely marvellous they are. As a foundation/powder wearer I was very skeptical but I was astounded at how easy it was to put on, how bare faced I felt but how good it looked! I'm hooked. Here is a pic of the nice things my Mum and L got me! (L got me the original source shower gel and the chocolate). J got me some burts bees lipstick shimmers and my book, and also some socks! L and my Mum made me a birthday cake but unfortunately it was cut into and eaten before I could get a picture of it! It was the best cake ever!
In the evening another friend came to pick me up to go and see Mama Mia but sadly everyone else in the whole of Scarborough had the same idea and it was full before we even got to the door. :( so she took me down to the beach and we had tea and fabulous caramel shortbread whilst looking out over the lovely sea!
Today I went and spent my vouchers (haha will just show you the voucher I got for Waterstones, my parents know me too well.. but who doesn't love Charlie and Lola!) These are the books and cds I got with my vouchers (I got dvds too but they are in the next picture)... impressed? I was :D (see the little number five book. I was really surprised to find that L, J and me are all number five people (our birthdays are on the 23, 5 and 14, (which add up to five). OOoh very odd. I also got some more fortune cards as I like them. Oh yes and I put in that picture the two mp3 players I got for my birthday! My friend who took me to the tearoom got me one because he was fed up of me wittering on about having to use L's 'Hello Kitty one' it is very shiny and plays videos but the space is limited.. and I got a pink one from my Mum which has tons of space and is very pretty and small! They are both now loaded with songs and I am over the moon!! Did you notice someone hiding behind all those things...?It's the kitty cat!! He doesn't like birthdays, especially his, his lack of opposable thumbs makes it difficult to open his presents.
Then if that wasn't enough. Dominique from Shabby Shac sent me a parcel and look what was in it. The bag is so pretty and the butterfly is made out of feathers! Look at the label attached!! The ring is lovely. I was going to post a picture of my hand with it on, but my hands are looking in need of a manicure and a lot of lotion! And the book, that was fantastic especially as the cat looked like Katchoo! My Mum and me had a really good laugh reading it! Thank you so much Dominique! Today I was making something else for my Russian doll swap (nearly finished.. thank goodness, I made one thing thinking it would be easy. I was up two nights in a row until two in the morning and then I unpicked it all and started again... I nearly gave up but am pleased I kept on) and I watched Penelope whilst I was sewing. I wasn't that bothered about seeing the film what with me being all blah... but then I thought why not! I really really really loved it! I am going to get that on dvd to keep (this was from lovefilm rental).
My teeth are still sore, my gums are bruised but not as bad as they were! Thanks for all your lovely comments. :D It really does make a difference when things seem really bad, that people will take time out and comment to help you feel better. Thank you all so much! I knew this blog thing was a good idea :D

Oh one more thing on this super long post!
For Liz some pictures of the baby Seagull who has lost it's mother. People keep feeding it and I cringe every time it decides to sit in the middle of the road but we had one like this last year and it survived, so fingers crossed this one will too!
