Well hello!

It was MY BIRTHDAY on Thursday and I have had a lovely few days as a result and have been thoroughly spoiled.

The family came up on the big day (am now very old: 24) and we all went and bathed in the glorious sunshine amid the dinosaurs of Crystal Palace Park. We then endured the bus full of rowdy school kids and went down to lovely Croydon, shopping and finally went out for dinner to that thai (beautiful) in Crystal Palace.

The following evening I was taken out for a gorgeous (and too expensive -naughty Michael) meal on a REAL live boat which was very exciting. I had a perfect steak which melted in the mouth.. mmmmm, but the staff were very shit and rude (don't go to the Lightship in St Katherine's docks for the service!!)

Then yesterday we had a rounders extravaganza, in the park again (amid the dinosaurs) and later went to the pub.

I LOVE rounders, although it does bring out a rather nasty competitive streak in my nature.  

Today we have had a BBQ at my Auntie Sally's house.

SO all in all a very nice time was had.

(and I received a Poirot DVD- oh YES!!! Love poirot.)
