Happy birthday to me!

Ok, so my birthday was actually three days ago but whatever! In case anyone's wondering, I went for dinner with the family and then out for drinks with friends. However, because of a last minute rush with my sister, I never got my cupcake cake complete with Minnie Mouse candles! My mum made a bunch of cupcakes and had bought Minnie Mouse candles.... those candles are still in the packet :( My family went up to Aviemore the day after my birthday, before I had even woken up so no candle blowing for me this year!

I've received money from my mum and grandparents but have no presents either , as my sister forgot to bring hers (she still has baby brain), I've not seen my older brother and my best friend still has hers in her car after ducking out early. One of my friends had a bit of an emotional breakdown so I brought her back to my house (don't think my mum was amused) and my dress was actually too big so I had to sew it to my bra to stop it falling down.  This is actually not the worst birthday I've had though, there's been much much worse so I'm taking it all in my stride lol! Can't believe I'm now 28. Damn I'm old!!!!

I did get a rather fab present on my birthday though! I was REALLY hoping for my Disney pack through as more people have got theirs, and they found out AFTER me that they were going! This didn't happen but just before 5pm I got an email with my compensation offer from the car accident 8 months ago when coming back from the first interview! So I can now book flights, stress free :):) Just need the cheque to come now! So excited as it will pay my flights with money left over, just need to decide what it should be used for.

Its 196 days to go now, 91 days have passed! Time really does fly! Soooooo much going on in the next couple months to look forward to, and I keep adding to the list lol! My sisters birthday is on the 1st October and that's when people are meant to find out who is getting interviews for the next batch of interviews. I've been watching a lot of what's going on the WDWIP boards, so will be interesting to see who gets a first interview, both for the CRP and ICP.

I'm sure there's other stuff I was going to talk about but for the life of me I can't remember! Got a very sore tummy so heading to bed to watch Disney films and chill out!

Waiting... but good waiting!

Still no Disney pack! I know that it includes very little - just the look book and a letter but I so want it! Some people have started getting theirs for next years arrival dates so hopefully soon! 
I've being a bit boring recently, all I seem to do is sleep, work and go to the gym when I have the time! So I'm trying to remedy that!... Although my work is currently a bit chaotic with various people taking holidays, it means a lot of extra hours. The next few months are looking up though! My birthday is on the 21st September... I'm going to be sooooo old lol! Then the first October is my sister's birthday, on the 7th I'm going to see Kevin Bridges with my best mate (Kevin Bridges is a very popular Scottish comedian). Then on the 13th I'm off to Spain (Fuerteventura) for a week with my mum, stepdad and younger brother. The 14th October is then my mums birthday. Then on the 9th November I'm off to London for a Disney weekend! Some of my fellow CRP's are planning a weekend of catching up - and I'm so excited! I love this sort of adventure lol!

So there's a lot going on and A LOT to save for! Thankfully because of the amount of overtime I'm doing, my wage is going to be increased for a few weeks at least so there's some piece of mind. April seems so far away ... but its only 209 days now, about 80 have passed since I found out and that has defo flown in so I know that it will come in good time! Almost every person from the wait group has a date now, they have been told to reapply but there's still a chance they will get a date. And I really hope they do. A lot of dates have been jiggled about, people that were told they were going in March are now going in April! So there's an extra person on my date now. If there's any others out there - let yourself be known!!!
