Yes that's me!! Ab-so-lute-ly spoiled rotten to the core!! It was my birthday on Sunday - 29th - (Istarted going backwards a couple of years ago), and my celebrations started on Thursday with a very leisurely lunch with my fab and gorgeous friends from school (as in, my kids' school - the yummy mummies I chat to on the playground and occasionally take luxurious city breaks abroad with). I was overwhelmed by their thoughtfulness and generosity, and loved all my presents! On to Thursday evening at the crop where I had more cards and presents from my wonderful scrapping friends. I really am spoiled and I mean with the friends I've got.
Saturday saw me meeting up with Amanda and Rach where we had a quiet night in.
Yeah right. Silliness and bad behaviour galore, coupled with far. too. much. wine.
3am and I'm finally in bed. 12pm the following day and I'm still in bed. More presents in the shape of money, clothes, CDs, books, perfume, vouchers, smelly stuff, pretty things, stuff for my craft room, all sorts of wonderful, indulgent, pretty goodies. Even some eye candy in the form of R-Pat/Taylor Lautner. Yum.
Then finally I hauled myself out of bed, slapped my face on and went ice skating! Now, I haven't been ice skating since 1986, when I went with Mandy Blomeley and we went round and round skating to Sam Fox ("Touch Me, Touch Me" lalalala!). So, first step onto the ice, holding Bella's hand (oh her skates were so cute!), and of course she went flying taking me down with her!! It was hilarious really, although yes it did really hurt, as I took a proper comedy tumble. You know, like on cartoons when the legs are just up and down on the spot for ages until finally they land with a huge thud. Yep, right on my backside! I had to laugh, it would only be me! We spent a good couple of hours trying to get to grips with the skating, which was hard holding Bella as she was completely useless being only 3. Maddie and Cam really improved during the session but left with blisters, bruises, wet clothes but huge smiles at least. We stopped off for a pizza on the way home, and then back to see family with yes, yet MORE presents!!!
I have felt so lucky to have my lovely friends and family, and really touched that so many people wanted to wish me a Happy Birthday. I may even go as far as to say I feel really blessed. So thankyou everyone.
And I'll finish with a couple of photos of some of particularly pretty presents for my craft room and my latest LO.

You are a lucky girl,wish I'd have seen you when you took your tumble, I wouldn't of laughed honest!!! Glad you had such a lovely birthday.
Great LO, I 'd love to know how you get so many LO's with one kit.
Taylor huh? Well, I guess that would be me jealous then!
sounds like a perfect birthday and you deserve to be spoilt with lots of friends and presents - so glad you enjoyed yourself.
Maddie is beautiful as ever and yes, how many layouts have you made with the kit (blush - I haven't done anything since I was with you....)
As my last comment seems to have got lost in the blogosphere, I will try again!
It was good that you were spoilt - you deserve it and it's nice to see that you have so many people around you that agree with me!
Some gorgeous presents there *wink*
Love the Maddie layout - very pretty and I agree with Deb - How do you get so many from the kits? I don't seem to manage as many as I used to... (she says with half a dozen totally untouched kits sitting on the side ;-)) )
