I like my birthday celebrations to be long and drawn out. That is because I am completely childish and spoilt. My birthday is tomorrow (hooray! Hooray!), but the celebrations started last week with a trip to the V & A to see the fashion exhibition followed by a fab girly lunch. Last night 11 of us went out to a Thai restaurant for dinner (and then I breathed horrible fumes all over one of my private clients this morning). Tonight I am having dinner with my parents, one of my brothers and my children and tomorrow I am having dinner with my boyfriend. How lovely is all that? How lucky am I. As I write, my gorgeous daughter is busy wrapping things for me. Thank goodness I have a girl – my boys won’t have bought me anything, she will have bought something on their behalf, having extracted some money from her father. She will get up early, make me breakfast in bed and rally the boys. What a star.
Got a card last night that I love:
How to please a woman?
love her, die for her, take her to dinner, miss the football for her, buy jewellery, be interested in what she has to say…
How to please a man?
Show up naked, bring beer.
zoe
November 10, 2007I did actually show up naked for a boyfriend once (well, I had a coat on – it was cold and in the road that I live in) but rather than turning up with beer, I had a bottle of vodka.
Class, Lulu, class.
Happy birthday for tomorrow – you spring chicken, you.
