Year: 2005

Some people have it and some people just don’t. I am so happy to say that my son matt has it in abundance!

Yesterday has to be the most perfect birthday I have ever had, I can think of only a few things that would have improved it but they are really insignificant into the overwhelming joy I got just from the thought that someone, anyone could put so much effort into making such a special day just for me, I mean, an unshared experience, this really was just for me and that was just so incredibly amazing.

It’s true to say I had an inkling that something was going to happen in the evening as there was some little hints but, even so, I was not expecting so many of my friends to be here especially when so many of them had made a point of telling me they couldn’t make it. They are all mean and totally wonderful, all at the same time.

If I have regret about the evening (and this is taking nothing away from the day) it is that I didn’t seem to get the time to speak to everyone for as long as I would have liked to do. I will make a point of catching up with them as soon as I can.

It was nice to receive gifts but, well, I mean, all that love, how can any material thing come anywhere close to that? My batteries have been well and truly recharged in the knowledge, the reaffirmation that I have so many friends that care about me; there is nothing on this planet that could equal that. A person that knows they are loved can do anything.

I am not going to go through the list of names as to who did specifically what but to all my friends, a huge thank you, it means everything to me to know you are there

I have tried to get used to www.outeverywhere.com but I just can’t. The thing is now so badly written it is like using the net a decade ago. Any enjoyment I used to get from the place has totally gone. Now I use www.kagoul.com as it is much more user friendly and well, just more friendly in general I guess.

I would like to get moving on booking a holiday to Gran Canaria for next month but unless I can get Jermaine looked after from 24th to 25th I can’t do it which would be a right shame. Sunday and the ex in-laws come over. I have asked them to do it but I fully expect a no answer and, well, I may then be out of options, such is life.

One thing I can do is send off my Tesco vouchers and get myself a holiday out of them. We have chosen 5 days in Disney Resort Paris staying at the Newport Bay Club on the Admiral’s floor where I have been before and no to be excellent. I somehow I have to keep reminding myself that this will be a total freebie!

I have been instructed that tomorrow I am to get as much sleep as I can for some reason. I can’t see that happening as, at the very least, I do need to go out and exchange some insulin over for Jermaine as I was given the wrong type.
