Aww bless you all - thanks very much! I had a nice day; but unfortunately we had terrible weather here and my village flooded - I've just made a post about it in my fic thread so I won't post it all over again, but suffice to say, I've had better birthdays!
I got a few nice presents - my friend bought me chocolate bath-bombs - oh, the irony, the damn things were foaming before they got anywhere near a bath :lol: - I got a dvd I've been wanting from my brother and my little nephew helped make me a chocolate birthday cake. My party was cancelled so all my friends are visiting this weekend provided the flooding is subsided, and Hubby's going to take me out another time.
Never mind, eh - it could have been sooo much worse, so I'm grateful for that!
