A Surprise In Store
This is my first OZ birthday and I am now officially 30 aauugghh..
I thought that being away from all my family today would be hard but they are so supportive that I am astonished how much love can be given over such a distance.
The door bell rang a while ago and standing there was a man with a huge box of flower's from all my family. Inside was a card saying that they have planned a big surprise for me when I return to the UK on July the 10th!!
I am soooo happy - what a great birthday. Family you are great!
I guess that for all of you that worry about missing family or those that already do, it just go's to show that however far away you are, you are never forgotten and they will always be there for you wherever you are.

Happy birthday Clare. 30 is not old ma'am, I turned 30 some time ago and I don't feel old. Even with kids, I don't feel old.

Hope it continues to be a good one, long in to the night.
I did an all nighter on my 30th. Maybe I was trying to prove I could still do it. Wouldn't recommend it though.
