Received an invitation to a wedding today. Everyone I've met on the blog scene seem quite family oriented so you'll think I'm bad for this but I'll post it anyway. Dad - just turn the computer off now.
My cousin's getting married next year ON my birthday. I don't know her - having only met her once since we were 10. She's issuing an invitation to my family (mum dad and siblings).
I'll go... family obligation. But I can't help feeling irritated as I'd really like a few years of happy birthdays after a really bad one a couple of years ago.
I don't suppose for a second that she's even thought about me (so gives a monkey's whether I'm there or not) but my Pa wants me to go.
Rah. OK think that's the ranting over. Will acquiesce now and go nicely.
Things You've Done Instructions are - Copy, bold the things you've done and post. Typically I can't just do as I'm told so I've highlighted red the ones I've done... and coloured grey the ones I never want to do.
Having looked back at this I think it's probably as boring to read as I suspected (having read someone else's briefly - not anyone who's ever commented on my blog so please don't be offended!!) but it is quite good fun to do yourself.So my advice would be - don't read the rest of my post today... just highlight it, copy it and look for yourself to see what you've done already.

I have been tagged to do this, too! And don't tell me your desk can't be tidy if you alphabetize your CDs!
Ha ha... did it once.... They weren't in order for long!!
Blimey, this takes a bit of time and patience! 150? Did you count how many of them you'd actually done?
I noticed you had a good birthday last year (sitting until the sun came up..) My birthday tend to come and go, and it's gone. Then that's it for another year. (mines just after new year - who's ever going to remember that!
So, hey, think of the bright side - take someone along you like, then you can get totally blitzed with someone else paying! (count it as a birthday treat :-D)
Hello - Nah, didn't count them. Might do now though...
51/52.. depending on whether the cat one counts.
Haha, I enjoyed reading your list! But I'm kinda intrigued by #103. :-)
