I have been firmly put in my place today. It is indeed my responsibility to remind family and friends of my birthday - so next year beware. There will be reminder cards sent out so that no one has an excuse. I will also see whether there are any shops that do birthday gift lists - something along the lines of John Lewis' wedding gifts list. If I cant find such a shop then I will put a short list in with each reminder card. All I have to do now is remember to do all this about a month before my birthday.


Today has been very quiet - other than watching my son cook his lunch. At one point there was a considerable amount of blue air in the kitchen. I think I may have put him off. Anyway lunch was very nice.

I am considering my summer holidays at the moment. I may be going to the west coast of France for a week, haven't quite worked out when. And then my son wants to go to Cyprus to stay with a friend - so not sure what I will do then. All this of course depends on the ex looking after the house and the dog. If not then I have to stump up the kennel fees as well, which would be a bit of a pain. So I need to finish my massage course and get some clients so that I can earn some extra money.
