    Well done on making it into the 4's. :T I'm sure DD will be delighted with her birthday cake and all the effort and work you've put into her bedroom etc. Lovely that you managed to plan going for a coffee, it's such a sweet birthday request.

    My birthday girl is home this weekend. Just having a few minutes on here before we order a Chinese - her birthday takeaway choice.

    Have a lovely evening. xx

    Thank you all so much :D

    We have had a busy day and my feet ache! but we had fun. Only spends where coffee and bus fare.

    I'm just having 5 minutes now everyone is in bed then I need to clean, put up birthday decorations, finish the cake and collapse on the sofa! My bed is now coming tomorrow morning! (on a Sunday?!) I was confused when he left me a voicemail this morning. But not complaining! Won't be setting up until Tuesday though. Once the beds in the room you won't be able to do much else so I need to do the painting first.

    Well this ended up far longer than I expected :o

    Hope you're all well :)

    Finally finished caking and painting the girls room!

    I think I'm as ready as I can be for morning! I don't like the cake though :( too late to change it now!

    No doubt they'll be up at 6am :rotfl:

    Oh my word, that was a late night!

    I am sure your daughter will love her cake, I always think home made cakes are extra special because of the love that goes in to them :)

    Hope you all have a lovely day celebrating :D
