I meant to say a very happy birthday to
greenfurrymoose for yesterday :)
In other news, off to Cafe de China in a bit :D Lots of people are around for my birthday weekend...Only concern is that tomorrow may be a bit of an anticlimax ;)
I have some lovely presents :D I'm feeling really good so far :D
Lots of books and DVDs plus my watch and some smellies and two bears from Build a Bear Workshop - will post piccies later :D Their names are Tyler and Steve :D
Fireworks last night were absoltely amazing, though two things happened to make me worry about the state of parenting. The first was when I and the Monkeys took a child no older than four over to the radio/st john ambulance tent because she had become seperated from her parents. It took us a good 5 mins to get her there and yet the first announcement wasn't that someone had lost a child, it was that a child had been found matching this description. How could the parents have not noticed in 5 mins that this child had wandered off?!
The second was when a parent yelled at their kids for being scared of the fire and the fireworks. You don't yell, you make them feel safe and explain there's nothing to be afraid of.
Anyway, a good evening was had :D
Also, this lappy rocks. If anyone is looking for a cheap laptop with a dvd writer I reccomend a thinkpad r50e. You can get one from staples (in Wincheap) for only £399 *total*
MMmmmmmshiny :D
*bounces*
