This week’s word is Birthday. My eldest daughter and I both celebrated our birthdays this week. She was born the day after my 20th birthday and I wrote a blog post called ‘Now you are Nineteen’ for her.
My husband being the lovely man he is booked a couple of days off work so I could indulge in a few treats. On the morning of my birthday, I didn’t have to lift a finger. A bacon butty with brown sauce was made for me and I enjoyed a leisurely morning.
I got some lovely presents which included a Smiggle advent calendar from the children and two brilliant Pop Funko figures. I also received some money as I love choosing some things for myself.
In the afternoon we finished the Christmas shopping. I spent some of my birthday money on some candles, a lovely soft blanket and a few other things.
In the afternoon I climbed under the duvet where I binge-watched ‘Gilmore Girls’ and entered some competitions. I had my traditional birthday tea, corned beef mash followed by a slice of black forest gateaux. A strange combination but my absolute favourite food in the world.
Tomorrow my daughter and I are off to town to treat ourselves with lots of goodies. Primark, Paperchase and Lush are all on the agenda. We don’t get to spend a lot of time together so planning a trip to town for our birthdays is really special to us.
This year is the last in my thirties and I intend to make it a good one.
What do you do to celebrate your birthday ? leave me a comment I love hearing from you. I might not always reply but I do read and appreciate every single comment.
A belated happy birthday! Loving your gifts (how cute is Mary Poppins?!) – I love all of those candle scents, too, and of course, stationery! Liking the sound of your shopping trip, hope you have a great time x Thanks for sharing with #WotW
Thank you, I had a good time shopping although I only found one piece of stationery I liked this time.
Happy belated birthday, the sound of a relaxed morning with a bacon butty sounds like perfection to me. You have some lovely gifts X #wotw
Thank you x
Happy birthday to you and your girl 🙂
Your day sounds absolutely perfect! 🙂 xx
Thank you Amanda x
Happy birthdays! Sounds like you had fun celebrating. My birthdays always have to have chocolate cake at some point. And as I usually celebrate for at least a week I manage it somewhere at least once. And because there’s no calories in birthday celebrations that’s fine. #wotw
I totally agree Stephanie, anything consumed on your birthday has no calorific value !
I was born the day after my father and for years, I couldn’t understand why he was so much older than me. Funny how the young mind works! A belated Happy Birthday to you and your daughter. #WotW
Thank you Stephanie 🙂
