OK so my birthday is finally over for another year!!!
I felt better after I bought myself a pair of very impractical red stiletto boots
I also bought some new Clarins makeup, new clothes, new shoes,new handbag, knickers and when I got home my husband had booked me a reflexology session 
I also had 3 pairs of earrings, 2 necklaces, a slendertone belt, 2 teddies, The Rocky Horror Show DVD, Silent Hill DVD, add-on for The Sims 2, flower arrangement, money, angel, reflexology.
Had a great day shopping spent 5 hours spending money (my favourite past-time). Nearly didn't make it home
My husband had phoned my friend in the week to tell her to make sure I was back for 4pm (for the reflexologist). We managed to get behind not just a funeral car, but one of the horse and carriages. We nipped up a side street to try and beat it but it was still in front of us. We went up another one and it just got to the island before us, we then went up another one and after driving extremely fast we managed to beat it by a whisker (don't play dodge the hearse on your birthday, it does nothing for your nerves!!). When we finally thought we would make it, a bloody learner lorry driver pulled in front of us down the lanes!!!!! We made it home with 2 minutes to spare.
So anyway my birthday wasn't so bad after all. But I STILL didn't get a bloody dog
