Birthday Part III.....The Gifts


How lucky was I.  I have received the most fantastic presents a girl could wish for.  Where to begin..........



From my Sister and Brother in Law I received a weekend stay at the Down Hall Country Hotel which includes a 3 course evening meal and a full english breakfast.......
I have always wanted to stay here, Janice and I have been for Afternoon Tea, which was lovely, but a weekend stay, well I can't wait, they also bought me a bottle of my very favourite Champagne, Laurent Perrier Rosé, that I am going to save for the weekend away, and also a bottle of Bvlgari Rose Essentielle, my favourite perfume, there was also a card giving me a baby sitting voucher (to stay with his Auntie) for when we go away.

Next from my Niece Kelly  her boyfriend James my Nephew Lee and his girlfiend Kelly A I received something I have coveted for almost 10 years...... a 28cm Le Creuset Cast Iron Casserole, oh how happy that made me, they also bought me a few other bits and pieces which you can see in the picture, the body bits, nail varnish, 50th glass etc.


From my friends I received a Decleor Facial and a bottle of Prosecco, another friend bought me some beautiful candlestick (which I very badly forgot to put in the photo) and I also received a pair of earings.

My work colleagues bought me an abundance of CK bits, I got the knitting bag, the overnight bag (obviously I will use that when I go away), the manicure set and the pass holder, how great was that, I also received (as I have a bit of a thing for Kris Kristofferson) the dvd Convoy and his CD.

The lovely Victoria bought me the CK purse and key ring, which as she pointed out will be fantastic when I am away on holiday, what a clever girl she is.

I am absolutely over the moon at everything I received and am really very greatful for all the time and effort everyone put into making my 50th birthday extremely special.

THANK YOU ALL
