Life contemplation, Lefty style

Well this is it. My last post as a Twenty-Nine year old!

Any attempts to let this birthday slide by quietly were scuppered this morning when I walked into work to find my desk covered (and I mean covered) in banners, balloons and glitter.

People I don’t even know are currently wishing me a happy birthday as they pass by my desk! (It’s actually not till Tuesday folks!)

So for this week’s post I thought maybe I should contemplate the milestone that is turning 30.

You know, assess my life so far, decide what I want for the future do some soul searching and bare my feeling to you all…

Yeah… needless to say I got no further than three lines into that before I abandoned it in favour of Hollyoaks and half a packet of chocolate buttons…

Turns out my desk this morning sums it all up better than I ever could. Glitter, sparkles and lovely surprises. (Oh and a card that quotes Shakespeare. Well done people!)

Who cares where my life is heading? Who cares where it’s been? So long as there is birthday cake all is right with the world (There is cake, right? Someone has remembered cake? Mum?)

I have a week off work now to lounge about and enjoy myself (you know the usual - reading, writing, watching America's Next Top Model...) but my real birthday treat isn't until the 16th June, where I will be heading off to the Harry Potter studio tours!

Yep. This is what real grown-ups do on their birthdays!

Am quite ridiculously excited about this - have been dreaming of running amok in Diagon Alley since I was seventeen! I promise pictures and stories galore when I get back (unless of course I just decide to live there forever...)

In other news, I had a lovely message yesterday telling me I had been nominated for a Versatile Blogger award!

Watch this space for my own nominations – and thank you very much for the nomination Amy!

Hope you all have a fantastic Jubilee weekend, and I will catch up with you in a week!

PS – Don’t forget Race for Life is on the 9^th – you can still sponsor me here! Thanks!

Best laid plans...

I had such good intentions of blogging this week.

I had good intentions for many things, including saving my Easter egg for the weekend at least…

The egg was demolished three days ago, along with any other plans for an organised and productive week!

Once again chaos rules over my life, but it is the chaos that pays my bills so I will try not to complain too much.

Looking forward to a very long, and hopefully much calmer weekend, in which my only plans are this

-         To finish reading Garth Nix’s Lord Sunday

-         To catch up on half a series worth of America’s Next Top Model (Hey don’t judge me till you’ve watched it yourself!)

-         To watch as much Big Bang Theory as E4 will provide

-         To write. Lots. Into the wee hours of the morning by torchlight.

-         Oh, and also tattoo number 6 is booked in for tomorrow afternoon… seeing as it’s my first literary tattoo it might make an appearance on here sometime next week…

Well that is it for now, have a lovely Easter everyone!
