Happy Little Birthday To Me......

It was my birthday on Monday and I reached the grand old age of 39!!
For some reason this birthday has caused me quite alot of stress and an untold amount of soul searching too! I do not know what it is ~ but maybe my Mum hit the nail on the head when she said it is because it is my last '30' birthday!!!??

Well, the day has come and gone and I feel pretty much the same (ha ha ) ~ nothing awful has happened and I have not suddenly got 30 more wrinkles and there doesn't seem to be any bad effects so far......I will keep you updated on that one ha !!

I had the most wonderful day ~ the best birthday that I have ever had ~ a totally spoilt day that I will remember for a long time!

Andy had taken the children out the weekend before so that they could buy me a card and a present ~ they got me a gorgeous body shop set (unfortunately I do not have a photo as I have already used some of it!!).

Andy was very naughty and treated me to something that I have wanted for a very long time............my very own Blackberry.




I may atually get myself together now and be organised ........or maybe not!!!
He also took me out in the evening to a wonderful restaurant and we had a delicious meal (the diet has soooooo gone out the window ha ha ) ~ I even had a few glasses of Baileys over ice ~ which is my all time favourite tipple!! All in all it was a very nice day ~ I was totally spoilt and felt very very special!!


The suprises and feeling special did not end there however. I received a totally wonderful gift from my Dear blog friend Dani (over at Give Me A Second To Think About It) ~ she sent me this gorgeous bracelet watch ~ which was very personal to me ~ it had beads in my favourite colours and a little silver boy and girl ~ representing my Dan and Lauren ~ and it also had 2 silver stars ~ which is just perfect for my blog name Twinkle Twinkle ~ it was a very special gift ~


I have worn it non stop since opening it on my birthday and I love it so much ~ Thank you Dani ~ from the bottom of my heart XXX

I also received another snail mail package yesterday from another wonderful blog friend ~ Amanda over at Penny and Pounds. She sent me a totally wonderful bracelet in similar colours to the bracelet watch Dani sent me and a kitchen shopping list magnet ~ perfect for sticking on my fridge and noting all the bits that I need!!

Thank you Amanda ~ your gifts were so lovely and I am very grateful.

Amanda and Dani are such special blogging buddies to me ~ it always amazes me how blogging has brought me to so many wonderful and special people ~ who although I have never me them ~ I have the privelidge to call FRIEND XXX

Finally ~ my friend Joan made a cake just for me ~ for my birthday!

Andy and the children sang Happy Birthday to me and I blew out my candles ~ the perfect end to a perfect day!! I wish it was my birthday every day!! (or is that just a bit too greedy ha ha ).

So, that is my birthday over for another year ~ and next year is the big 40!

I will just have to see what that will bring!

Thank you to all of you that have left such nice birthday messages on my blog ~ it really did mean alot to me XXX
