Just to let you know, last Sunday was my big 60!
We had such a great time, lunch out with family and friends and wall to wall sun all day….it couldn’t have been better. Then yesterday Ian had his bone marrow test results and everything is fine, nothing to worry about at all, no more treatment, just a blood test every couple of months so they can keep their eye on him. He’s looking so well too and really enjoyed Sunday and being around everyone….we are so pleased!!
Ian and me, love his new hair….:o))
My family, Katherine, with Chloe and Lexie in front, and Mum whose 90 now, on the left.
Beautiful birthday cake that Katherine made for me….:o))
Birthday plants….I love the deep red Streptocarpus, a pressie from my sis.
Pretty Comma butterfly flying round the garden today….yep, it’s been a great week…..:o))))

Well it was a good year 52 Pam wasn't it....:)). Congrats to you too! Don't we get a bus pass? I was expecting to get mine, and your fuel allowance, next year. Free prescriptions too, it's not too bad this getting older lark is it....:)). Were planning on lots of fun from now on....no more serious stuff!
Thanks Sheila, we had a great time, it's like a weight been lifted now.....and I haven't forgotten about your plant.....I think you were right, Autumn would be best, it's been hot here this week, when you get back from your hols.
Thanks Cinders....:0))

No janey not until we get the pension do we get a bus pass or fuel allowance (oh gets it all and he's only 64...) but all the things like national trust etc give you pensioners rates....but the scots always get free scripts an bus passes at 60....
I,ve saved quite a bit already. :0))). Enjoy. xxx

Oh Janey, just seen this. Don't know which to congratulate you on first. Ian's good health or your birthday. So will do both at same time. Congratulations! You both look so well and they are lovely family pictures.Jx

Thanks everyone! If my cake had been big enough, I'd have sent you all a piece....lol! Cheers Karen! It's a bit of a milestone I must say, does have a few perks, not many, but a few....:))
Your right Pam! Well that's a disappointment! No fuel allowance either, we must be the first year of this new ruling, I was looking forward to a few bus trips too......:>\

Just found this and wanted to add my best wishes. You look wonderful and it's easy to see where you get it from; you would never take your mum for 90. Glad to hear that your husband is in good health now. What a relief that must be.

It is Tuesday, the end of a worrying year, thank goodness....:)). Thanks for the lovely comments, I shall tell Mum, though she won't believe you...lol!
