Another year older....

Thank you all for the lovely wishes, messages, cards and gifts for my birthday, it really made my day. Being honest I wasn't looking forward to it, especially it being the first one on my own (regulars and friends will know what I mean). I had a quiet day and went out for a few hours to the local shopping centre with my mum and had a spot of lunch and then in the evening went for a meal with friends to Frankie and Bennys. I didn't go mad due to starting on insulin injections on Thursday, it is not much fun self injectiong but I have to do it and it is for baby bump's sake so it is worth it. Here are a selection of photos with gifts I received from family and friends, I haven't been able to show everything but a BIG HUGE thanks you to all.

From my parents a lovely journal, a dreamcatcher and a wooden necklace
