Whilst watching Eastenders I'm sat awaiting the wee small hours of the 6th October, 2010, my 33rd Birthday and for the first time, I'm not mad keen to celebrate.
My husband will be taking me to the races tomorrow and the promise of rain fills me with joy. I have fortunately purchased a new umbrella and have ensured that my kagoul is up to race track standards. All that remains is to go to Morrisons early doors for a bag of 50p's and I'll be ready to set the gambling world on fire. In keeping with the high energy theme of the day, I may even pack some sandwiches and a flask of tea. I'm sure I saw the blanket in the back of the car.......... right next to the green wellies, a 1988 Atlas of Great Britain and the AA's 100 Greatest Pub Walks For You and Your Dog. On reflection, not sure it was actually our car.
So the birthday, my first as a married lady. I have today been informed by Mr Tuckley that my birthday gift is 'in transit'. Amazon had better get there skates on.
I'm very fortunate that I am only 10 weeks and 3 days in to this state of Marital Bliss and most of the time my continuing gratitude toward this man allows me to overlook such trifling issues. I'm sure after 50 years of marriage a bunch of badly co ordinating carnations from the nearest service station will become my staple.
I should simply be grateful that this particular gift is so well travelled.
In his defence however, a delivery from a certain 'Personalised Card Company' was made today and should this blog ever make me any money I would like to commend Moon Pig on its efficient service. You could teach Amazon a thing or two.
So here's to the 6th October, 2010 and a very Happy Birthday to You Mrs Tuckley.
Oh no, The Wedding House is on Channel 4. 10 weeks and 3 Days in and I still feel like a pig in ............
