    It was my birthday yesterday too. It didn't get off to a good start when I knocked over the bedside bucks fizz I'd treated myself to.

    I made the bad decision to go out without a coat because I was humid to start with, got desperately soaked in all the rain. Forgot to charge my mobile and it died on me so struggled to co-ordinate meeting my friends for dinner and I rounded off the evening throwing up with food poisoning.

    Let's hope that's my bad luck for the year done with too LS.

    Just reading it made me feel worn out! I hope you're better now.

    Happy birthday to you and to Emerald too :)

    I dread my birthdays......I was born on 27th January routinely 'celebrated' as Holocaust Memorial Day.
    I can empathise with having a birthday on a tricky date, mine is September 11. I now no longer complain about getting older each year. I am just grateful for being well and content in life and having all my lovely family and friends around me.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
  • It sounds like you had a much better day than some people.
