Eighteen
Today was my 18th birthday. I recieved:
Money
A digital camera
A locket
A mini bottle of champange
A wireless keyboard and mouse
A weird thingy that plays happy birthday
A box
A bracelet
A glass
Two bags
A watch
A calendar
Plastic bowling set
Plus whatever people give me on Saturday.
All in all it was a good day.
I got up early for present opening. Mum's surprise was the camera, this was very welcome, I've been playing with it all day. Then I hurried to college where Tom gave me the locket. It was wrapped in a series of food boxed and newspaper which was all most amusing to those watching me fight my way into it. It's a silver heart and very pretty. This was followed by Jeni's pressie which involved the champagne:-D but then I had to make my way towards computing for the joyful exam. Thankfully this went pretty well, at least I think it did. Well enough to no longer worry me greatly.
After the exam cake was had, Jeni had made a huuuuuuuge chocolatey monster of a cake which was enjoyed by all (pictures will follow) and I drank my champagne from my glass :-D
Ian then presented me with a plastic bowling set which will keep me amused for hours no doubt :-)
Then I was accompanied to the pub by Tom, Ian, Ollie, Karen and Andy for a quick drink (yay) before being picked up and whisked home with Tom.
After a thankyou call to the Harrogate branch of grandparents it was time for a visit to the others and so we took ourselves to Selsey where more money was procurred and much fun was had watching the tennis. Grandad gave Tom much in the way of drinkage (as he always does to people) I had some shnapps (I'd forgotten how strong the real stuff was) and we all had sparkling wine. It was a nice afternoon from which we came away somewhat tipsy.
We dropped the child home so she could watch tennis then went to get an indian which we then enjoyed at home. Henman won.
After playing round with my camera some more it was time to take Tom home so that we did and now here I am.
That was my birthday. I will update after Saturday.
