Hello everyone!

Firstly I want to say a big thank you to Suzanne for allowing me to post on her blog I feel very privileged in being allowed to celebrate her birthday celebrations with her. I am very lucky to be able to class Suzanne as a friend even though only met when I joined twitter about three months ago. We often chat until the early hours of the morning when we should be sleeping and have received lovely happy mail from her.

Anyway I thought I would write about one of my birthday celebrations which was a few years ago now. My husband and I both turned 30 in the same year. For his birthday we went paint balling and had a massive bbq. I was not too happy as he was on the other team and he takes great pleasure in telling people until this day how he legally shot his wife in the bum!! And yes I could not sit down for a week as I had two massive bruises on my backside. So for my 30th, 3 months later, there was no chance that I was doing that again and he refused to partake in a pampering session at a spa. Therefore we found ourselves going to Amsterdam and were joined by my brother, his wife and two male friends. Of course whilst there you are bound to go through the red light district and maybe try a little smoke!! I can honestly say I didn’t like the smoking but my husband and his friend were hilarious after trying the cake and me and the others were rolling around laughing at them.

I loved the flower markets and drinking in the square. We also did a cruise around the canals in the evening and the Heineken brewery tour is a must if you are in the area without children. The bartenders in there loved our versions of Tom Jones songs they kept giving us extra drinks. I don’t think I have ever drunk so much for so little money. I remember coming out of there and thinking I must eat. However the highlight to the break was the Anne Frank museum it was so surreal to go inside the building and there was an airy hush around the place.

One question though how on earth does anybody know where they have parked their bikes there are so many of them and they all look the same??

I would love to go back and have dropped hint at hubby to take me this year. However our 40th in a few years will be more sedate as we plan aF1 trip. Less alcohol involved.

I want to have surprise not extravagant, but lovely giveaway in honour of both our birthdays.
