Sad and gloomy

Thanks everyone for the birthday messages! Stan you look like you are having a good time there!

ooops I realised when I said in the previous post about not having any trouble with food and drinks I had forgotton about the lactose intolerant thing.
I think I am in a bit of denial about this. I keep forgetting and the temptation is there to consume food and drinks containing lactose. It doesn't help when ones husbands buys your favourite dark chilli chocolate for a birthday present and a large Mr Kipling French Fancy cake - a pink one at that! Me is suffering much today :(

I didn't sleep again last night probably as a result of all the bad things I ate and drank yesterday. Well celebration time is over now so I will just have to learn how to be good!

I haven't felt too bad today until about an hour ago. I'm at work and things are starting to spin....only another 3 hours to go and I will be on my way home again.

Sheila I will be saving a lot of celebrating for when I am better. I haven't had a proper night out for about 3 years possibly more but I am planning to go out and get well and truly plastered just because I can (and probably regret it the next day as well)! Not just a night on the town but maybe some time out to go and spend time with the friends I will have and socialise etc. and be 'normal' for a change :)

Happy bday hermi! I hope you surive that pink Mr Kipling French Fancy cake. Your husband must be horribly sadistic.

My last few birthdays have been getting more and more lame too. Last bd (this year) I went and ate a steak alone at a restaurant after gym. Most of my friends have disappeared too.. but I can't blame them entirely .. I've been hermiting so much.

We'll catch up.. first bday off ssris and recovered =

(ok, maybe I don't really miss that part so much. I intend to take it easy even for a while after but at least we have something real to celebrate)

Well wishes for your birthday Hermi. Hope you ended up enjoying some of it at least?

FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS HERMI!! Chilli-chocolate...? mmmm!

[hermi]

Thanks people!

Moui - yes I have been a bit of a hermit too the last couple of years. To be honest I got fed up with making al the effort to keep in touch with people and arrange get togethers etc. I decided that I was done with doing all the running and true friends would contact me after a while...I am STILL waiting...and waiting....

m&m - thanks, I enjoyed the bit where I got into bed! I did some reading and then tried to sleep. Apart from that it was a disappointing day really :)

Alex- YES chilli chocolate. You REALLY must try it or you haven't lived! Dark chocolate with a hint of chilli - its warms your mouth! lovely
