Subject: I am out of the office as I am celebrating my 30th birthday all day
1 This morning I intend to be eating a breakfast lovingly prepared by Young Daddy, and laughing as Miss E and Mr A try to eat every single one of the endless cards and amazing and beautifully gift-wrapped presents that are stacked up ready for me to open. I shall shed a happy tear at the touching and adoring sentiments in each card.
2 At lunchtime I expect to be whisked away in a chaffeur-driven car to a secret destination. Ok, you've twisted my arm, Brighton. Burglars beware - a friend is house-sitting so no need to pop round to try your luck. The roads enroute will be traffic-free and the babies will slumber peacefully in their car seats for the whole journey.
3 After a rendevous at our luxury accomodation (a friend's flat) with my parents, I anticipate opening more exquisite birthday gifts, followed by an all-expenses-paid shopping trip into Brighton. Every item of clothing I try on will fit me like a glove and make me look like an expensively-dressed fashion editor. Once I reach the till, I will discover that the perfectly-fitting item has a staggering 95% off in their exclusive sale.
4 Once Miss E and Mr A have gratefully retired to their travel cots, smiling serenely at me as I give them each a goodnight kiss, I shall sip champagne and enjoy a gastronomic feast that I have played no part in preparing. Nothing consumed will add one pound of weight to my hips or bum.
5 And finally, I will turn in for the night and enjoy the best night's sleep I've had since 2008.
In my absence, please forward all birthday wishes to my trusty comments form below.
