Awoken at 6am by toddler who usually sleeps much later. Thanks for the birthday surprise, my darling. Actually happy to be awake though, because now I get my present from husband who leaves for work soon.
Amazing surprise! A beautiful bunch of flowers with a little jeweller's box sitting underneath. Open it up: a diamond necklace. Be still my beating heart.
Next - finish baking for the lunch I'm having for some friends. On the menu: homemade beetroot dip and hummus with fresh crusty bread, lemon and mint prawns, sushi rolls, three-cheese tart and roast pumpkin salad, followed by Baileys cheesecake and lemon tart.
Friends arrive. Pop open the champagne and wine, serve food and chat.
One friend stays for another bottle - or two - and ate more cake and talked. Her husband arrives with pizza. Chat some more.
What a wonderful day, filled with family, friendship, flowers, cake, champagne and diamonds. Thank you to everyone who helped me celebrate my 30th birthday! And thank you to all those who left me lovely messages online! xx
Now to look forward to a lovely dinner out on Saturday night with my gorgeous husband (Abbey is having her first sleepover at her Nanna and Grandad's house!).

Sounds like it was such an amazing day! Enjoy your romantic dinner on Saturday xx
Oh hello! Thanks for letting me know!!!!!!!!!! Happy birthday, gorgeous girl! My goodness, you're an old fogey now. Enjoy every moment. xxx
What a gorgeous day...I love lunches that linger into the evening and a friends' husband who brings the evening meal so that you can continue to relax and enjoy the vibe.
The thirties were a fantastic decade, enjoy!

My birthday is coming up - I think I will show your post to Mr Woog, as that sounds just about perfect to me.... apart from the cooking. Will get friends to bring lunch, or you can cater it as the menu sounded spot on.

You lucky duck!! Nice one.
A perfect happy birthday. Lucky lass. Cheers to a whole year of other days just like it (minus the presents, apparently we can only get those on our birthday...)
Sounds like a great day, hon! So glad you had a good one.
Enjoy dinner on Sat night - and a sleep in on Sunday! (Totally jealous!)
You deserve it.
