Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone, I've had a great day so far, just getting organised for the party tomorrow now.

Managed a few bargins while in Manchester, and won £40 on a fruit machine in the pub at the train station :j:j well chuffed as I never play on them and only put a £1 in. Didn't buy anything for Christmas but treated myself to some new trainers, and some new crocs. A few tops out of primark and a new handbag so quite please really.

The kids got me a lovely bright pink card with a monkey on the front which really made me laugh, will post a picture tomorrow along with the cake.

Well got loads to do so better get on, catch you all later.

Glad you had a good day Sarah........:T

I'm all behind myself............painter coming tomorrow, soc.worker mid-day so tomorrows a bit of a 'no go' I think.
Still, all is not lost............had freebie of Baileys truffles, decent size box, so that'll do for someone; neighbour gave me a little box that'll do to put a watch in that I got free with something -just need to cover the box; and found an old cork memo board I was going to re-vamp last year...........methinks I can re-use the cork on my place mats..................:T
Got CD holders for 25p but can't find 2010 CD size calendar to print off -maybe I can find one in the newsagents I can cut to fit ...........have to think about that one.
Now feet up and tele time...............:rotfl:

Is this any use? - you could probably resize it to fit - scroll down for the 2010 template
