Birthdays

It was my birthday yesterday and I got 3 emails and a text message from various family members reminding me of the fact. When I was a child I liked reminding, usually with a birthday present, that I was a year older. But now I am not so sure. Then today I checked my bank account and there was a little present from The Department of Works and Pensions which was nice. Only £10 but it all helps. Now I couldn't remember getting this gift last year so I had a look through my old bank statements and there it was, the same amount, £10, paid in early December 2009.

Haven't the DWP heard of inflation?

Still no snow in Torquay.

At least your birthday was at the beginning of December so you had it separated from Christmas. My cousin was born on Christmas Day and all her life has complained that everyone thought one present was OK for both occasions.

Anyway ' HOPE YOU HAD A HAPPY BIRTHDAY' 'ALL THE BEST FOR CHRISTMAS'and 'A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR'
