Thursday was a nice day albeit I had a long and stressful day at work and didn't get away until nearly six pm.
However, the girls at work were really lovely and made my day special. Everyone enjoyed the chocolate cake but it was so big that there was plenty left over to bring home with me.
I also received some nice gifts from work including an Orchid plant; some chocolates; a bottle of white wine and what I was told was a home-made coffee cake but then - when I exclaimed how nice it was because no-one ever bakes me a cake - the purported baker sheepishly admitted it was shop bought and they had wrapped it in cling film to make it look homemade!! That made me laugh!
Mum and Dad came over to bring the boys home and they gave me some lovely gifts including a new gold chain for my heart pendant; a lovely bracelet and necklace; moisturiser and some clothes. My favourite present was a beautiful painting that my Dad had painted for me.
I also opened a parcel from my wonderful friend Polly who had sent me some Victor Rolf Flowerbomb Body Lotion which was a great surprise as flowerbomb is my favourite perfume so it is so nice to have the body lotion to match!
My brother-in-law Graham called over with a card and new cookbook for me which was much appreciated.
Sebastian and Nathaniel gave me a new dressing gown - modelled in the photo by Sebastian!
Finally after a delicious Indian Takeaway I opened my presents from David which included a double layer Cupcake Carrier;
Three books
One CD
something that while still wrapped looked like a walking stick . . .
. . but turned out to be a clear umbrella!
and an unexpected present which is a really beautiful bracelet!
What a lucky girl am I?
