I'd pretty much just like to say thank you to everyone who made my birthday mega awesome and times ten thank you for gifts/cards/VERY amusing phone calls/texts/messages/gestures of kindness/coming out and celebrating with me. I feel like the luckiest person ever :)

On my actual birthday I just chilled out with my family and drooled all over my camera. I was NOT expecting to get it at all, let alone the polaroid attachment back thingybob. Mum and Dad were super amazing got me 22 presents in a massive lucky dip box(!!!) The camera and polaroid back were the main gift, and the rest were small lovely things including, an animal dominoes set, a sheep tape measure, chocolate raisins, nice underwear, vintage maps, books etc etc... Well done parents :D Helen got us tickets to see The Woman In Black in Covent garden, so I will be 100% terrified but am well looking forward to it :) and Clare got me a lovely necklace and some fat chocolate. I got all my other relatives to give donations to charity instead of buying me something which I'm happy about. I feel so lucky to have got such nice things for my birthday that I am going to increase my monthly amount to charities even though this is probably a bad idea as I have no job and am overdraft central. But There are people who are in horrible situations and need the money a lot more than I do.

Anyway, in the evening of my birthday my family, Owen and I went bowling (where I lost terribly) and had a super tasty meal at the Olive Tree in Ledbury, yay! Then we came home and played Buzz, again I lost terribly, and then as an extra birthday treat we watched question time and I got annoyed with all the politicians and with how the episode was handled in general.

On Friday Carly, Rich, Soph, Owen and I went out to Worcester to have some nice drinks in nice places so I could celebrate my birthday with my friends. We went to the Firefly and played frustration (unsurprisingly I lost) and 'Tension Tower' (Jenga) Which again, I also lost :( We then headed on to Heroes where we played table football and Rich and I lost horribly (my fault) and then we got a super tasty shakeeys, although as always, I got way too much garlic mayo. We then hopped in a taxi and went home. Overall, a lovely night. It was super nice to go out somewhere that is not Malvern and be with some of my favourite people :)

I'm sad that I didn't get to see my other friends and I missed them lots, but hopefully I'm seeing most of them pretty soon anyway :)

Tomorrow is Carlys birthday and her family and my family are joining forces and going out for a joint birthday meal to ZamsZams, I am well excited about this :D Other good news is that Jess is coming home for Halloween :D and Kirsty is home on the 14th! YAY! I am also super super super SUPER excited about being a massive globe trotter and going to Barcelona in November and Scandinavia in December or January :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
