Yesterday was my 30th Birthday or as I like to say, the ninth anniversary of my 21st.
I was utterly spoilt and had some great gifts but from the way in to work I should have none something was amiss.
When its someones birthday in the office they will normally bring in cakes to celebrate (its the tradition of going to the pub and get drunk, but sensible). I was nearly at work when I remembered that I forgot to get any but i didn't think much of it as I had said to people we will go down the pub for a couple anyway.
That was that bit covered, i then get a text saying my son has been sent home from school as he is ill, I worry about this slightly as this hasn't happened before but his mum has picked him up and taken him home, so throughout the day I get update texts and one of them is that he is being sick, not a good sign.
We got to the pub at lunch and have a couple of pints with people from work and I nip in to CO-Op (other supermarkets are available) and buy some cakes and also 3 Christmas selection packs, I thought this would take the focus from me to that it is Christmas soon (well to far away for me to actually be bothered) get back in to the office and get all the cakes out.
I leave work at half 4 to see my dad as he wants to give me my card and pressie, so whilst sitting there I get a call saying come home ASAP as my son if being sick and bringing up yellow (guess he reached the bile). So I get home and he is not well at all bless him, he seems lively enough so I no its nothing major but every half hour or so he is bringing up what he can. From this we decide that going out for a meal (in the small Italian Restaurant that has great food) is not the best of ideas.
The ex's parents come round and I make coffee for them and I get my pressies from them which includes a bottle of 12 Ouzo this was so smooth as I thought it would be rude not to open and try. Once they leave we put the little man to bed and get a takeaway in and sit and watch TV, it was nice but as both of us were so tired we didn't really do much.
I think I upset the Cake Gods by not bring in the cakes straight away so will not be doing that again. I did get a set of wonderful cuff links though. see below
The small indent in the middle is a finger print of each index finger of my son. When I opened these out I almost cried as it is the sweetest thing ever. As you can see it has my son's name on it with mine and his date of birth.
I need some help.
I have been given some money by my mum for my birthday and have decided to spend £200 on a digital camera, I don't want and SLR as I know I will end up not taking it anywhere. so I am after something that I can slip in my pocket or at least not to bulky. Don't mind what the mega pixel is but would prefer something that I don't have to keep replacing the batteries on, so it has its on battery pack.
I have seen a couple and here are the ones that I am considering.
