Happy birthday to me....

Well I didn't want a big song and dance this year round for my birthday, because basically its the first since losing mum and just doesn't seem right or maybe its just me. People will say yes but life must move on, and there correct, but in my time and when I'm ready to move on. I miss her so much and I'm having a hard time letting her go. I normally love my birthday, with loads of fun and Jo always books the day off work and the same this year, but instead of fun I wanted a quiet day. Don't get me wrong I still had a great day, and maybe cos I was not on my own. But we did things we normally do, but defo low key this time. We went into town and had coffee, but that wasn't without drama when a random guy just screamed out and next thing was on the floor fitting. People and Jo were really upset with this and the guy got up while being calmed by staff and staggered outside. He didn't have a clue where he was, but eventually the paramedics turned up and left with him. I asked Jo to buy me a iPad cover for my gift, but Argos didn't really have that much of a choice, so need to check Amazon. I just remembered that..... We obviously forgot. But while in town I remembered about the WPT Magazine I collect so called into Smiths to see if the new mag had come out. It had and straight away turned to the letters page and boom, my email I sent in after winning this very iPad along with $540 to say thanks and wanted to dedicate it to my mum who had just died, had made the star letter and a full page spread was there for all to read. I will post it after I finish this blog. But I also now collect a £300 chipset for being the star letter. That's two in two days in chipsets..... We went for a nice meal in Fetcham at the local curry house, and had my fav of Tandoori mix grill. Jo had a veg curry and we shared a mushroom rice. Very nice of course and per norm. That was it, my birthday. But still had time to thank everyone on all Facebook individuals who wished me best wishes. No poker played at all today, but it did snow a little bit..... Back up north it was always a standing joke that it snowed on my birthday year after year, so was nice to see it today....... Overall had a good day, but only because of my Jo doing what Jo does best, and that's just be there......
