Hip Hip Hooray!

It's my birthday today.... and I've officially hit the mid thirties!

I was going to make myself a birthday cake, but I went to a new local cafe / patiserrie yesterday and they had lots of scrumptious cakes on offer, so I took the easier option and just bought one instead. It's chocolate mud cake with lots of chocolate on top..... my favourite.

I'm having morning tea / brunch with a girlfriend and then heading to my sister-in-law's beauty salon for a manicure and french polish, so it should be a lovely day.

  15. Goodness, mid-thirties! So very old and crotchety :) (don't worry, I'll be there in another 6 months or so!)

    Hope you have a fabulous day out - and don't eat all of that chocolate cake at once!

  32. That mid-thirties club is very exclusive ... unfortunately, as I found out, they kick you out after a while! :)

    Wishing you a wonderful day for your birthday. Hope you have a lovely time and enjoy all your treats. Argy and Bargy send you a big mmmwah, mmmwah (that's a somewhat sloppy 2 and 4 year old boy kiss for each cheek).

  34. Happy Birthday, Cam! Enjoy your pampering moments at the beauty salon. Birthday is such a special day, we all deserve a cake baked by someone else for it.

  35. Happy Birthday Cam. I left a little something for you over at Tinniegirl. However, I'm even more excited about what I have to give you on Saturday. Can't wait.

  37. My goodness! I've just realised that I'm not one of your followers. How rude! I have just signed up and you can expect me to stalk your blog from now on :-)

    What a perfect time to visit your blog, though, and send you birthday wishes!! I hope the day has brought you endless laughter, pampering and chocolate and that the year ahead is full of great friends, crafty fun and magical moments.

    That cake looks too good to be true! Enjoy a piece for me :-)

  42. Happy Birthday Cam......mid 30s sounds much better than 40 (looming for me) but there's nothing we can do about it! Hope you had a great day.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yay! Happy birthday, Cam! Sounds like a lovely day - I hope it was thoroughly enjoyable.

    Enjoy the mid-thirties while they last (mine didn't seem to last quite LONG enough...).
