Katie’s 30th Birthday

Jamie — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 06:15:58 +0000

It was Katie’s 30th at the weekend and we all had a fantastic time. Starting with a picnic in the park with all the family and friends (the photo is from the cake my mum had made for here).

Everyone had a to bring a something to eat with them and I’ve never seen such food, we had to bring some of it home, if you need any sausage rolls or a meat selection give me a bell

After that Katie and I spent the night at the malmaison, living it up like a couple of swells. Sunday was a glorious relaxing affair with a good breakfast, a spot of shopping, wondering in and out of various galleries and topped of with a combo massage and facial for Katie. She really didn’t want the weekend to stop and neither did I to be honest

So happy birthday beautiful, I love ya lots and looking gorgeous xxx

Katie’s Birthday

So Friday was Katie’s 29th birthday, which she revelled in greatly by saying “hey at least I’m not as old as you are!” (I’m only one year older!). She had a great day starting off with a surprise breakfast with her mum and dad at ours. I got up extra early to blow up balloons and cause a lot of mess in the kitchen while making the breakfast. We had toast, marmalade, blueberry jam, poached eggs and special scrambled eggs on English muffins with herbed butter, sausages, mushrooms and beans and a tiny little chocolate muffin as Katie’s birthday cake. Later on in the evening we all headed out into town as you can see from the photos. When we all came back to the house Katie only wanted to do 3 things:

Open the Moet from my party
Play Buzz
Put on her wedding dress

As it was her birthday we all obliged, in fact I felt a little left out and went and put on my wedding suit. It was a brilliant day and Katie had an excellent time. Now all energies are devoted to planning Katie’s 30th Birthday which will be a joint party between and her auntie Sara (who will be turning 40). At the moment the current theme is a roller disco.

My 30th Birthday Party

Well there was a lot of cooking, a lot of painting, loads of wiring for the lights and not to mention the 1 hour torrential pour down before 6pm which caused quite a bit of stress but the party was brilliant, I think everyone had a brilliant time and I would really like to thank everyone who came and the gifts the brought, they were all great-fully received. It was quite a long one, we started at 4pm and went on till 5am and only realised it was that late because the birds were tweeting. All in all its been a brilliant birthday week and one which I have to especially thank for Katie for organising and surprising me at the party with a trip to New York (whoop-whoop) next paddies day.

There’s a link here for the photos, I also setup a webcam in the living room to do some time lapse photography. It was running for about 12 hours and below is the party summed up in about 12 seconds! I think I should have taken a few more though to make it last for at least another 5 seconds.

My Birthday..Day

So I had a most wicked birthday yesterday, I would like to thank everyone for their card, messages and generous gifts they were all much appreciated. Had a good session at the gym in the morning to make room for food later, had Steak and Eggs for breakfast which was massive! Then Katie took me shopping and spoiled me rotten (she also was the most patient person in the world as she waited while I tried on clothes. I’m not very good at it but I think its man thing). We met Gez & Anglea Mangela in town and headed off for some tiki crazy golf and then headed into to meet up with Bob and Becca for some drinks, tapas and karaoke (I discovered, I rock )and shape throwing in the reflex. Brilliant and if that’s not enough this Saturday I have my party and even more presents.

There was a small bit of bad luck that my mum, dad and brother were supposed to be coming up from Wellingborough to join me for a meal but sadly there was a massive accident on the M6 and they were stuck in traffic between junction 4 and junction 5 for about 7 hours.

Becca created a list (which I have slightly modified) to celebrate me being 30, here’s a list of 30 things about yesterday.

It was my birthday and I am awesome.
I was wearing a tshirt with yoda on it, yoda as a DJ
