Happy Birthday to me

Maddie did a good job of looking after me on the morning of my birthday. 

She made me an awesome wrapping paper covered bottle... my favourite present!   A few days before my birthday we were skyping with Mum, and Maddie told me I had to go into my bedroom while she showed Dee Dee the present that she had made for me.  So I marched myself off to my room, and she promptly held up the wrapping paper covered bottle to mum... who exclaimed 'wow its beautiful.. what's inside it?"  (by this time I am giggling in the bedroom, because I know that there is nothing inside it..and how proud Maddie is of the fact she has covered this bottle with paper) 

Maddie replied with an 'are you stupid!' flat tone: "its just a bottle, just an old recycled bottle"   .. so by this time I am cracking up, and Maddie tells mum with a sigh "Mama's laughing in there"   :)

I guess you had to be there, but it was funny at the time.  Its so cute how fiercely proud of her paper covered bottle she was.  I made a very appropriate fuss of it when I was presented with it on the day!

On the Friday night following my birthday I had a great night out with Michelle and Laura.  We went to a funky Asian restaurant,with desserts to die for.  We ate so much, that we felt the need to walk.. and walked nearly all the way home!

I can't tell you how good they were, but Loz's face sums it up!

Wow - my mouth is enormous!

Yeah, they were particularly great desserts...would you believe we didn't even manage to finish them? Must be a first for Nic and me! :)

Was a great night all round really. Especially on the walk home when a wolf asked Nicki out!
