HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!! ..........


Well, well, well ..... It only seems like yesterday that I posted OMG.....60 today, and now another year has gone by and today I have reached the dizzy heights of 61 !!!! The older you get, the quicker it goes. Note to self ..... squeeze in even more things this year than last !!



As you can see by my face , I can't quite believe how quickly time flies !!!!! 



Anyway, today it's all about ME !!!!   Time to celebrate ..... last year I managed to make my birthday last about a fortnight so, let's see if I can make it last even longer this year !!!!




I think that this cake is a little more appropriate as I am rapidly approaching my dinosaur years !!!! haha ......





By about 5.00 p.m. this evening, I am hoping to be at about this stage with more to come.
Here's to another wonderful year, full of fun, laughter and good times and, I just hope it doesn't go as quickly as last year !!
Thanks so much for all of your support, lovely comments and blogging friendship and I shall raise my glass to all of my blogging friends ..... probably more than once today !!!!

  3. I've said it before and I'll say it again...happiest of birthdays to you Jackie. Don't you look fabulous! And you're very lucky I don't live in your hemisphere or I'd be over to borrow your jewellery, you stylish thing. Please have a glass of bubbles for me xx

  5. Bloody hell...blogger ate my first comment! And as I have the memory of a gnat I'll have to start again. It had something to do with a) happiest of birthdays; b) you look FABULOUS; c) I want to steal your jewellery; d) please have a glass of bubbles for me. Have the best day Jackie x

  6. Us old tarts need to stick together & show these young things that the horribly pervasive political correctness surrounding age appropriate behaviour is a crock! Make sure you celebrate disgracefully Jac, embarass your kids & Mr. H if need be. Party hard girl, loving birthday wishes to you from your biggest fans Millie & MOTH xx
