Happy Birthday!!

A is now 12 years old! This is the cake we made - chocolate sponge with fudgy frosting, mmmmm.


After opening of presents we went off to the cinema this morning to see Animals United, which was ok - some funny moments. We then went into town for a bit of shopping, including a new hat for A :-) she has quite a collection of hats now, definitely a hat girl.
Altogether a lovely chilled day together. A is gearing up for some proper celebrations next weekend, when our friends arrive from Glespin. She'll be going ice skating with a couple of mates then having a sleepover with them back here. She'll also be getting her hair specially done for the occasion, with some pink streaks, very exciting!!

Hello! I've only just found your blog, but it makes very interesting reading as I think we have a fair bit in common. My daughter was 12 just a week or so before yours (and happy belated birthday to her!); we're also home educators and I'm a freelancer/writer too.

I'm glad to have found you and will keep popping by :) I hope you're mentally prepared now for the birthday sleepover - had one of those last year and my word it was hard work!

Best wishes - Nikki - www.secondaryathome.blogspot.com

Hi Nikki,

thanks for your comments - I'm glad you found me too!!

I'm slightly apprehensive about the sleepover, but I have a friend coming too (one of the girl's mum) so at least I'll have some moral support :-)

I'm off over to your blog now to have a look, cheers!
