*sings* "Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me....."

Yep, it's my birthday today! I'm now officially in my MID 40s!! 45!! Nooooooo! Oh well, at least I look and feel a damn sight better than what I was on my 44th!! So I started my birthday celebrations by getting up at 5.20am and heading off to boot camp! Whilst we were running up and down the hill, a friend of mine was walking round the lake with her mum, saw me and called out "Happy Birthday". Consequently, after hearing this my fellow boot campers then sang Happy Birthday to me whilst I blushed (and sweated!) profusely.

Darling hubby bought me some new runners (I was with him when he got them) but I couldn't wear them this morning 'cos he wrapped them up so the kids could give them to me when I got home from boot camp. So I'll wear them on Wednesday, but I asked Jen (trainer) if she could make sure we don't do our session in the sand or on the wet grass (which is generally covered in duck poo!) 'cos I want to keep them nice. LOL. She said fine, we could just sit in our cars for the session, hehe.

Russ and the kids also gave me a CD (The Fray - I like them, but strangely, so do the kids!) a DVD - Six Feet Under Season 1, and even stranger, a PS2 game - Buzz, the sports quiz! Mmmm, interesting presents, don't you think!

My darling mum and dad spoiled me yet again - I got some lovely earrings, a pretty blouse, some perfume (Versace Woman - divine!) and some spending money. They are so good to me.

Anyway, no celebrating for me tonight - Russ and I will be using our Gold Class tickets tomorrow afternoon, we'll probably have a nice lunch beforehand (after weigh-in, hehehe).
