Well today has been a day of reflection...as it my birthday :j
I have been totally spolit for my family and friends and I can't wait for my night out
I have however spent some time thinking today and I think I'm more determined not to have another birthday where i love the pressies i've been given but I can't help thinking i'd rather have had the cash!!
I know everyone had new year resolutions but I thought I'd have some birthday ones!- to loose 1 1/2 stone
- to have paid off most of my debt

- to have got a new job
