.... I'm only 59 !!! Mind you, I wasn't born until 8 o'clock at night and so I could stretch it out a bit. Snag of that is they won't let me open my pressies until then if I do!! Getting excited now. Already feeling pampered because my daughter has just painted my toe nails for me.
My special day is all mapped out. I will be going down to my hairdressers to be made to look at least 10 years younger first thing and then our friends start to arrive. The first lot arrive before lunch. In the afternoon, more friends and family will start to gather for a glass of champers and a piece of birthday cake at about 4 o'clock. Then everyone will go up and change. All but the chauffeurs will have a drinkie poos and nibbles before about 16 friends and family will go out for a meal at The Fox & Hounds (an old coaching inn) at Great Brington 
we've been going there for a few years now and know that it will be a good night. It's a lovely old place, wonderful ambiance to the place, excellent food and the service is very good too. 
Mike has already selected one of the young girls for our son to chat up!!
I am feeling very spoilt. Yesterday we went to pick up my birthday present. A while ago a metallic powder blue VW Beetle cabriolet passed us and I said to Mike that is what I fancy next time. It's not like me really because a car is really just for getting me from A - B and so for me to pick out a car is unheard of. So I am delighted that we went and picked one up yesterday. 
She is sooooooo cute !!!! She has a big smile on her face and I love her. I'm calling her Bella after my Mum, Isabella. Mum has bought me a number plate... I have the plates but can't put them on until I get the certificate from the DVLA.
Well, I'd better go to bed as I have to be up early... last minute jobs... make a Hearty Pasta Soup for visitors who are staying until Monday.
