What a wonderful day

Well I am officially 40 now.
What a fab day I have had, had loads of wonderful presents and lots of flowers. so much so that I have had to resort to a pint glass. But they are all Beautiful.
I can honestly say I have been well and truly spoilt.
I did have to take my daughter to have an interview at college this afternoon. She wants to do a apprenticeship in hairdressing . She has found a hairdressers that will take her on, it all just depended on the outcome of the college interview.........And the outcome was................
She has been accepted there to. So now she cant wait to get started.And we are over the moon for her.
Got back about 5ish and she cooked 6 of us streak with all the trimmings and it was yummyyyyyyyy. We have got Mississippi mud pie for pudding, but I just cant fit that in at the mo.

I can not believe I am going to be 40 next month.
Kids no longer independent on me, and my youngest is doing GCSE's this year. no more parents evenings.
It was bad enough when they left primary school as you lose contact with lots of people.
Anyway I have decided as its my 40th I would give some blog candy.
I am going to have a party with close family and friends, nothing to big.just a shame that my darling dad wont be there to have a drink with me. but know he will be there in spirit and watch us all making fools of ourselves after one to many drinks.

Busy Busy

Well I have woke this morning to it pouring done outside.The Dog wont even go out.
Up nice an early as tonight I am having my 40th party. And need to pop to tescos to get last bits, you know the last bits that you cant get until the day.
So plans are to go there just after 8, before it gets to busy, drop my daughter at work afterwards. Come home and get stuck in to sorting buffet.Not doing anything special as most peeps would have eaten. Lunch time go and pick up helium balloons and keys for village hall, then I am going to get that set up, come home and hopefully relax for a couple of hours, have a nice soak in bath etc etc. Then its Party party party. So looking forward to having my family together, as we haven't all been together since last January when I lost my dad. Who I wish was going to be with us tonight. I shall have a cpl of drinks for him, but I know he will will there in spirit.
Right better go and give daughter another shout, she don't seem to be in any hurry this morning.
Happy Easter everyone.
