I had a lovely day, thank you all
Spent the day pottering about with a spot of shopping and a leisurely lunch, then went out for a very nice meal with some friends in the evening, and am now looking forward to my 'big' present - a trip to Venice this weekend!!!!!!!!! It was a complete surprise which DH and DDs had been hatching for months and managed to keep a surprise right until I opened the the ticket wallet.
Much as I love all the planning that goes into our Florida trips, one of the most exciting things about this trip is that all I have to do is pack and get in the car on Saturday morning!
I had some other great goodies too including a book of Hidden Mickeys and a travel tips book from DDs, and a sewing machine from my mum

My old sewing machine had been an 18th birthday present from mum and dad and was definitely leaning towards antique status

Mum felt a new one for my 50th was quite appropriate
