Birthday night out!

It was my brother's (Nick) and his girlfriend's (Alex) birthday yesterday. Everyone is always skint at this time of year so I thought I'd book a meal. For some reason, everyone seems to think of me as 'the sensible one' and so it was left to me to make the arrangements. I booked a table at New Village Chinese Restaurant in Tarvin. In the end there were 19 of us! There was me, Lisa, Becky, Kim, Dave, Phil, Gill, Ron, Si, Nick, Alex, Richard, Matt, Charles, Oliver, Ben, Rachel, Rick and Nige!

Had a great time and a brilliant meal. I had my favourite - fillet steak in cantonese flambed sauce. Absolutely delicious.

We went to De Bees afterwards. It's been a brilliant birthday weekend so far!

Happy Birthday to me!

Well, it was my birthday on Friday. I had a great day! I've never known the children at school make such a fuss about my birthday! They must have sang happy birthday about 5 times, I had tonnes of cards, presents, balloons and a brilliant cake made by a couple of girls in my class. I am very lucky.

When I got home, Lisa gave me my presents! She has given me a cool DVD recorder, You, Me and Dupree on DVD and a pair of jeans! Like I said, I am really lucky.

We went out for a meal De Souza's in Northwich only to find it seems to have closed down. So we went to Emperor's Court instead and had a lovely meal - Chicken in Kung Po sauce.

What a birthday to remember!

I am NOT nearly 30!!

It's my 28th birthday tomorrow. I have been reliably informed by the children today that I look older when I am dressed smartly, but look younger when dressed casually. I argued with them, that I am not nearly 30!! A couple of children made me a card saying 'Now you're nearly 65, you need to get your bus pass!' Cheers kids!!
