Birthday Loot

It was my birthday last Sunday and I had a really good fun and food packed weekend.

Friday night I went out with all my workmates to celebrate Christmas.  We went for dinner in The Cornstore which was delicious and to The Spailpín Fánach pub for a few drinks afterwards.  It was packed, loud and fun and it was great to catch up with my workmates wives.

On Saturday my sister and I played cards all day which was cool cos we spent the time chatting, messing around and drinking tea.  That night we went to Nandos (yum!) before seeing The Hobbit (hurrah!).  My sisters friends came with us and brought me presents which was unexpected and so nice of them.  We saw The Hobbit in 3D and if you haven't seen it yet, don't bother, as there is absolutely no point.  But I enjoyed the film though I do think it was probably a little longer than necessary.

On Sunday Aideen and I played cards again all day (she remains Gin Rummy champion while I rule at Fish in the Pond) and later to Star Anise with my family and my friends Veronique & Monica for dinner.  It was gorgeous and I have to admit I needed open my very fitted skirt for a little while to fit dessert in!  We headed to Dan Lowrys for a few drinks afterwards and my friend Ruth joined us there bearing more gifts, so I ended up with a lot of birthday loot.

I'm lucky I've got such great family and friends, thanks you guys!
