Being 30

Last Thursday I turned 30. I've had a smashing time, and I've still got more people with whom to wring out any further celebrations!

The weekend before my birthday JP and I went shopping in Milton Keynes. MK is a fantastic place to shop because it has all the shops under one roof - and it's a very big roof at that! I purchased a Jeff Banks shirt and Next jumper for a funky smart/casual combination. I wanted a suit-jacket also, and found one that I liked and he said for me to get the whole suit - so I did!

Thursday morning, JP woke we up with a CD sized present and a card. He told me he knew how much I liked live music, so he got me a Chas'n'Dave CD. As he had thought about it, which is a trait that I don't often see when it comes to presents, I thanked him, put it on and sang along to Rabbit. I even told my friends, gratefully, that he had thought about this year's present.

At the meal at Pizza Express that night there was a big present .. a Wii! I was fooled, totally! And a Wii is the last thing I expected -and I was amazed that I was so excited about it - and still am!

On the weekend JP and I went to my parents. It was a nice relaxing time, and we celebrated my and my sister's birthday on Saturday too.

Regarding sorting out a posh restaurant to go to (old post) I didn't get my arse into gear in time. But we have booked the next available Saturday table at Petrus .. In January! I am seriously looking forward to it!
