Happy Birthday to me!

Hey, Let's talk!

I had my birthday on Friday, I have never been the biggest fan of birthdays mainly due to the fact that in past years I have either been ill and had to cancel plans or I have tried to organise something and people haven't had the money because Christmas is coming up. This year though, I had the extra special delight of having to go to a job interview at 9am  I call it an interview, they called it an 'assessment day'. It comprised of a presentation, three tests, a face to face interview and two roleplay exercises. Horrific.

Also I would just like to point out that if you know me at all you will understand that the thought of having to do a maths test, never mind on my birthday is just, well, not ideal. 

Maths makes me feel like this:

So I walked out of the assessment roughly three hours later, popped in to see a friend and headed home 99% sure I wouldn't have the job. I wasn't going to dwell on it, it was my birthday after all. So I went home and waited for a little while for my Mum to get back. Opened my cards and presents and began to feel a bit cheerier about the whole thing. 

Here's the thing about life... When you think you know exactly how something is going to go, things can change. 

My phone rang and at about 1pm I found out I had excelled in all aspects of the interview Including the maths! (thanks Hannah!). So i'm starting a new job very soon which means I will actually have money YAY. 

Throughout the day I was getting Happy Birthdays via text and Facebook and I got more cards this year than I have for quite a few years. What can I say? I love you all, so much.

It means a lot that I have so many people out there who care. I care about you all too and should you need me, you know where to find me!

I really do think in lyrics and film quotes.

Moving on, my Mum, Sister and I decided to go to the cinema in the evening to see Great Expectations which was SO good, I fully recommend it. Oh man also I really can't wait to see Life of Pi when it comes out. The advert makes me feel a bit emosh, Para, para, para-dise!!

While I was there I had message off a friend of mine asking if I was in as they had something to drop over, I explained I wasn't but my Dad was. Then got this picture message through to my phone. 

I should probably explain why they call me Charlie... Youtube Charlie and the Unicorns. 

Nicole, Cayler and Faye... you are actually legends! So I got home from the cinema to find a cake waiting for me, made by three crazy kids that I met at my last job.

It tasted amazing too!

One day I really must learn to control my eyebrow

So despite thinking this was going to be an awful, awful day. It wasn't, not at all. I felt lots of love from lots of people, I got a job, a cinema trip and TWO birthday cakes, cards and I even got a new hat. It really does get better! 

My other cake in case you care!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend, I have just returned from a trip to Newcastle which SHOULD be tomorrows blog. 

Love you, 

Love, Me.
