Thank you for all your good wishes! :-) Nothing really exciting for my birthday, although I'm going out for a meal later in the week (or maybe next week!) with two friends who all have birthdays between December and now! - a combined birthday meal! :-)

Thank you all! :D

Also bought the famous five quiz book from Amazon - as someone gave me an Amazon voucher. :-) -

Thanks Francis! :-D

I had a good one and spent too much money (on line!) - on books - so it must have been good! :wink:

Happy Birthday, Rob — getting in a bit early, as I'm in Australia, but I think it's just now ticked over to the 13th in the UK! :D Hope you have a fantastic Blytonian day.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

My dads birthday is today too so you're not alone on the 13th :)

I dunno what made me think of shopping really, I think it was just that you've mentioned that you like to buy the odd thing here and there; hardly ever though :lol:
