Well almost, strange because it falls on a wednesday so we had a sort of celebration today.

Cant believe she is 15 on Wednesday. She has really blossomed in the last 6 months, her confidence has increased, she has 'glammed' up a lot and looks really beautiful.

Yesterday I was in Derby Crown Court, bit of a nightmare from start to finish. Couldnt wear my court shirt so had to wear a normal one, luckily the judge didnt say anything. My client was really difficult and wanted to give tyhe police officer a real hard time, normally I would enjoy this but he was on a hiding to nothing, I eventually convinced him that he should withdraw his appeal, which he did. I then cam home, I was soooo tired, went to bed about 12.00 and didnt wake up until 3.00 and even then only cus Katie woke me up. I am still so jet lagged. This morning I didnt wake up until 1:00, dont ever remember sleeping in that late.

Friday night we went to Birmingham for Gems birthday, it was a princess party, a make over that Kt and Karen, Gems mom were doding so I was kicked out after a while. It was great to see Gems friends though, and it was really sweet because I was going to leave before Gems friends got there so I didnt embarras her but she wanted to me stay. She obvioulsy wanted them to meet me which was lovely.

We didnt get home until 00:30 last night!


Today when I eventually got up me and Gem went into Town, I gave her some money for her birthday and she bought some stuff. Katie went to see her mom and dad. the we all went for a pub lunch, tonight we watched some movies (Mona lisas smile and RV vacation). We bought some food for gem and a little cake which we put 3 candles on which were the sort you cant blow out :-)

And again its past midnight and I'm up! I need to start catching up on my sleep.
