On one of my birthdays, I had to work - which pissed me off a bit. I got home from work wondering if there'd been any post.

When I got in, I though to myself "I'm sure this place looks different". It turned out that my Mam and my sister had spent all day spring cleaning my place. There was a vase of flowers on the coffee table and when I opened the fridge, there was a delicious salad on a plate and a tasty bottle of Chardonnay.

Brought a tear to my eye.

I occasionally order flowers for my Mam when I'm offshore. She loves flowers and it shows her I love her and think about her - she always cries when I do it and my brothers hate me for it as they get a hard time for days for "not being as thoughtful as Stan"

I've clocked up millions of Brownie points over the last couple of years.

Awww

That reminds me, while in Stafford my Mum used to send me lovely letters with cards and chocolate etc because she knew how little post I used to get

Dad also said he was gutted as he was going to take mum to the pub for dinner and also said he has nothing smart to wear for the Royal Circle.

Ooops!

They liked my card though and there were a lot of thank yous

Gonna have to be a bunch of weirdos turning up on my doorstep for my birthday last year

I have stopped doing things for my birthday because in the past it has always been a case if I wanted anything to happen, I had to organise it and pay for it and then everything normally went tits up anyway. Also where my birthday is so close to dads birthday I generally don't feel in the mood to organise anything. But that weekend was really good fun

There was also the random cafetiere and bag of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee that Burble sent me after I found out all my savings were going to be spent on replacing our windows and I couldn't get the coffee machine I had been after for ages.

There are also little random things like cards from the Haven lot and the laser cut rattie keyring from Jim after Rincewind died

My Birthday last year - I'm one of those annoying people that LOVE their birthdays and I get really excited about them but never really had a big party or get together because I've never really had any friends to share it with ( apart from when I had my 7th birthday party and I got a shiny new red bike... that ROCKED !

)

Anyway, a few months before my birthday one of Jamie's friends said it was her b'day a few days before so why don't we go out to Chicagos and have a few drinks. Jamie has 2 groups of friends, the school lot and the bikers. Lisa is one of the school lot.

So I get to the bowling alley where we are meeting up beforehand and there's the school crowd, I really felt everyone was there for Lisa and I was just tagging along as they're a huge group of close friends but it didn't bother me - by this point I was used to being Jamie's missus in the group

We'd been there for about 10 mins when a couple from the biking lot turn up and I thought how odd and how cool, maybe we could get them over and join in ... they came over and they told me they were here for my birthday !

Then another load turn up and they've all come out for ME ! ..not anyone else but ME !! .. I nearly cried

We had a lovely evening and then my actual birthday comes round the next day and Jamie has bought me flowers, a necklace and made me a card - we're going out for a meal later with his parents and mad Auntie Val.

We're getting ready and there's a knock at the door, I was forced to answer it a la Sam and hidden behind a bunch of flowers is Will !

I screamed like a schoolgirl !! .... But there's more - MB and H were also there

We had a lovely posh meal with fantastic company

I had honestly never felt so touched in all my life that a number of people had made such an effort just for me, never had that before. Jamie did a superb job of making my special day just that.

Birthday Surprises ROCK !

I've never really got any nice surprises tbh. Had a couple of lovely cards of the BD girlies but apart from that most surprises I get aren't the good kind! :undecided:

Same really, although I received a nice one today from the captain of my cricket team: "...arrangements in the capable hands of our new vice-captain, Rob Collie". All I need to do now is get the fine leg/long leg places the right way around...
