If you have seen
this video you will know that I despise my birthday. Ever since I was a little girl, my birthday is something that I try not to celebrate; I find it awkward, embarrassing and just plain awful. So when the day finally arrived, I did my best to detract the attention away from it. However, I did get some lovely presents (which I'm thankful for today, obviously!), had a nice dinner with the family, and spent the evening with my best friend whose come home from Canada, as I really didn't want to have a party or celebrate. So I have now left the teenage years and am seeing what life is like in the big 2-0's. My wish for no birthday cake and no singing Happy Birthday were sadly ignored..
some of the letters I got from the family - some of the birthday cards - birthday face of the day - products used - the beautiful present my wonderful sister sent from Canada - birthday cake - myself and my best friend
