Post-birthday-ness



Watched three old episodes of Buffy.
Had a birthday bagel.
Moaned about not feeling very well.
Phoned the bank.
Moaned about that.
Cheered up.
Topped up the credit on my phone.
Received the following things: nice bag, two types of chocolate, bottle of wine, bracelet, and the fabulous 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation' by Lynne Truss. Hoorah!
Baked buns.
Had tea and buns and crisps with friends.
Had a glass of wine.
Watched some rubbish on cable.
Went to bed.
Could not sleep, due to hideous stomach cramps. Got up and wrote some stuff (glee!)
Went to sleep, may have dreamt of hobbits.

Many thanks to people for the birthday messages! Snogs to you all, or a simple handshake if you prefer.

Happy Birthday!! Sounds like it was enjoyable (except for the stomach thing).

Thanks Amy! Yes it was, although, yeah ... particularly hideous time of the month, you know [/tmi]. Anyway, feeling much better now. :)

And a Happy Birthday from me too. Mmmmm, chocolate! Also, Lynne Truss! Not the world's most prolific author, unfortunately - she wrote a fairly mad novel about Virginia Woolf's great aunt (among others) which I read and enjoyed a while back, but doesn't seem to have produced anything since. Must look out for this new one.

I've never read any of her other books, although I used to like the TV column she wrote in The Times. I recommend this one!

happy birthday!!!

*ashamed of lateness*

Noooo, don't be ashamed! Is perfectly fine, and thank you. :)

I hope you got your Birthday Email, for I know not which email address to use (I tried one only for Hotmail to go all arsey on me and say it couldn't be sent, so I tried another.)

Anyhow, I'm glad to hear you had a nice day even if you did have the cramps (and not The Crammps, which I just wrote and which, if I remember rightly from my youth were an 'outrageous' band from the US.)

xx

Hello - I did get it, although that email address does not officially work any more, and will soon not unofficially work either (if you see what I mean.) Anyway, THANK YOU!! :)

I'll email you soon from proper address.
