Thanks guys
I had a fantastic birthday with the celebrations finally ending yesterday with a quiet meal with DH.
They started last saturday with a big party at my house where 20 odd members of my family slept over and no we don't have a very big house it was a matter of finding floor space
This then rolled over to a BBQ on Sunday for 20 odd, then a meal with my children Thursday lunch...then another meal Thursday evening with DH my sister her partner & his son....finally a meal last night with DH....
Its now a starvation diet until we go...12 days....just hope I'll still fit into those shorts
