    I have never been to one:eek:

    It's hell.

    Went for the first time last year, hated every second of it and made my rather long escape not long after entering.

    Like Marmite I guess, either love it or hate it.
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Thanks, yes I'm catching you up ;) I had a few presents including a Yankee Candle, a photo frame that matches a jewellery box I have, money and tickets for the Charlie and the Chocolate factory musical :D but I had said I didn't really want anything. Oh yes and DD1 is going to dye my hair and I told her to choose the colour :eek:
    DD2 took me out for a meal on Thursday before she went back to uni and we went for a meal with my mum yesterday. DD1 is getting me a take away tonight :D Back on a diet on Monday I think:(
    Birthday freebies I had are £5 Bon Marche voucher, a cookie from subway, a cake from Greggs and a bunch of flower from Morrisons :)

    Yes I think so Nellie with all that food.:D Hope she dyes it blonde we ll be twins then :D yes I got flowers from Morrissons too . Was a nice touch I guess.
