Nick was away in Coningsby last week from Tuesday to Thursday so he wasn't here for my birthday.  I had a pretty crap day actually, the weather was miserable and we just moped around the house.  I did get some lovely cards though, I even got my card from Angela on time which went some way to cheering me up (she is frequently late).  Anyway, the kids ate pizza and I ended up having a pot noodle for my birthday dinner for the second year running.  Must try harder next year.  We did have a yummy cake though, courtesy of M&S. 
We had an uneventful weekend and now it's Monday again and school goes back tomorrow. Yay.
