Another year older..


Today is my birthday and I have been thoroughly spoilt! After being woken up with a cup of coffee (my husband know me so well!) and everyone singing Happy Birthday in Dutch and English, I was allowed to open my presents. I have had some really lovely things and some wonderful surprises. As the Pickle goes to nursery on Monday mornings, I had the very rare opportunity of going into town with my husband for coffee - just the two of us! It's something that doesn't happen very often even though he works from home, so it was very lovely.

I was surprised this afternoon with a cake and candles. I also had a very productive time making corsages and putting together my package for my swap partner in the fq. swap

Tonight we are all eating out together as I absolutely refuse to cook!

  2. Hope you had a lovely day yesterday!! It was my birthday, on 7th January, and I thought just the same as you, we went to Pizza Hut!! : )
    My little granddaughter didn;t think much to being strapped into a high chair, but when the food arrived, she enjoyed that, then promptly fell asleep!!!!
    Lovely blog, you are welcome to pay mine a visit. Look forward to seeing you : )
