So today I’m 25, which makes me feel officially old (halfway to 50 anyone?!). This should be the point where I post a relevant picture of me blowing out candles, out with friends or opening stacks of presents. Unfortunately, I’m still suffering with flu (the work Christmas party last night nearly killed me) AND I’ve lost my good camera so I’m kind of holed up in a rather reclusive way at the moment. So I’ll just post this fairly unrelated picture of me from 2009 so we can all imagine I’m partying with the best of them.
The crazy facial expression is an attempt to copy my friend’s expression on my hat. And here’s a more relevant photo of my birthday cards:
What did I get? A Wii game (Xenoblade Chronicles), a hand knitted scarf (it’s about nine feet long but I love it), gloves, Tommy & Kate bag, breakfast cooked for me this morning by my lovely Joe, a Snickers bar, £10, about six scented candles, and some more money to come which will go towards the Macbook Pro I’m intending to buy soon. A very random assortment of gifts, but all will be put to good use :)
Just one more week before Christmas, and then I have some well deserved time off!

hope you had a lovely birthday Jenni! I’m 25 on Tuesday and feeling the ‘pressure’ of getting older lol!
10/12/2011 at 11:05 pmHappy Birthday, Jenni! I hope that you recover soon!
I am only 20, so I do not think that you are old yet. =D
11/12/2011 at 2:04 amHappy belated birthday, Jenni! I hope you had a nice day, despite your flu. You surely did get a lot of birthday cards! :D
Why are you buying a MacBook Pro? I thought you already had two computers? (A notebook and a netbook, if I remember correctly from your posts? Not sure…) Oh well, Apple products are always nice to have, lol. I just don’t have the money… :(
Get well soon! xxx
11/12/2011 at 10:19 amWell Happy Birthday!
11/12/2011 at 8:54 pmFirst of all you aren’t old at all! 50 isn’t old… it’s just not young either… Old is… 80s. xD Don’t know where I was going with that. Maybe you should think of it as a quarter of a century. Bam, young.
Secondly, thanks for dropping by and thanks for the compliments on the site! I’ve recently updated and plan to do so much more frequently, so be on the lookout! :]
Happy belated! :) Hope you’re feeling better now, though!!
11/12/2011 at 10:30 pmHappy birthday Jenni! I always thought 25 was a really nice age to be at. :D
Wow, I can’t believe Christmas is so close. You just reminded me. xD anyway, I hope you enjoy your gifts and have a good break. Good luck saving up for that Macbook Pro.
12/12/2011 at 1:42 amOh gosh, hope you’re better soon. Flu is the worse!
I got some time off for Christmas too. Totally can’t wait. I haven’t had any proper time off since June.
12/12/2011 at 4:15 pmHappy birthday!! Hopefully you feel better soon :D

14/12/2011 at 4:25 pmHappy belated birthday, Jenni! I think ~someone~ needs to update her sidebar. ;)
I love the Snickers bar gift. xD I love getting silly little gifts like that because they lend themselves to birthday stories a lot better. “Oh yeah, remember that time so-and-so got me a Snickers bar?”
Good luck saving up for your Macbook Pro! I bought mine around the beginning of this year and still absolutely adore it.
15/12/2011 at 4:32 amThanks everyone! :grin:
