This July I turn 25 - which I'm sure will make all of those who've known me since I was small feel very old! When I told one of my lil' sis's friends how old I would be next month she promptly replied "a quarter of a century!" which did nothing to relieve my sense of pending doom, I can tell you!
However, strangely enough, as the event has closened I'm beginning to feel much happier about the whole thing - in fact I'm almost looking forward to it! Poor John probably isn't tho - he always enters a pre-Miriam's-birthday state of panic, which has led him to panic buy a pile of random things from TK Max before only to return them the next day and begin the panic all over again. I feel bad for him - it shouldn't be that stressful. He always just wants a list of things I want, but being a lady I want him to think of something himself rather than follow a shopping list. You'll be glad to hear tho that I've taken pity on him - there's no way my birthday should be so nerve wracking for him! So I've started trying to offer hints suitable for a man (i.e blatant) to try and ease his pain - we'll see how that goes!
I think Fran may have taken him under her wing with some Fran style (i.e in the style of the gestapo) hints.
Poor John! Maybe I should just cancel my birthday! Just when I've finished panicking about it - he starts!

A few of my least favourite things
1. I hate these new shoes with wheels in the sole that kiddies have - I'm only just learning not to get utterly freaked out when I see a small child levitating towards me at great speed down a supermarket aisle.
2. I get really annoyed when people walking down the pavement towards me don't go into single file so there's enough room for us all - how rude!! I miss the days when people would say to their children 'stay out of the way of the lady' - I think i'll start letting them run into my knee instead of getting out their way.
3. I wish ITV would stop copying the Beeb 'How do you solve a problem like Maria'/'Grease' Strictly come dancing/skating on ice (I know they're different mediums but the format's the same) Dr. Who/oh they can't match that - ah ha!
4. I was very annoyed when a woman came up to me in the street this week and ranted at me that my boss had 'tutted' at her when she had stolen my bosses parking space. Apparently it's very rude to 'tut' at someone, but not to aggressively rant at someone who had less than nothing to do with any of it, and didn't even witness the above mentioned 'tutting' or stealing of parking space'
The world has gone mad! Yet I'm surprisingly perky!
