Ros Neil and Nan Happy birthday from the deepest tropics of Leicestershire. Have seen the wild puddycat prowling through the undergrowth. Hope you had a great day. looking forward to your next web posting. I managed to work out how to check the "back issues" of your blog. Enjoy yourself and don't work too hard. Love from Ros, Neil and Nan. xxx

mum happy birthday sweetie, lovely as always to hear your voice! glad you're having a good evening. will have to spent next two weeks perfecting the perfect roast lamb! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Grumps Annie, Money's tight, times be hard - so apologies for not sending you a card. Remember that you're not getting older - just better ...and on a day like this who can hold a candle to you! Over your celebratorary drink maybe also time to review that list of things that you wanted to achieve on this trip .....so that you still have time to do those not yet accomplished. Nothing worse than an "I do wish I'd done that" list ! Lots of love, Grumps.

Stella Happy birthday to you! Have a great day - lots of love Stella, Paul, Grace and Emily xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nana Happy Birthday Chuck. Have a lovely day. Lots of love from us both. XXXXX

Dad HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ANNIE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUU!!! XXX

Daniel Happy Birthday! hope you have a great party!

Daniel Well cant say much for the football either! what a dismal performance... still sounds like you have plenty to do over there both work and R&R, Bet you are acquiring a great tan, will I still recognise you when you are back in Manc? Life in manchester continues as normal. just moving house, by bike! thankfully the weather has been much drier than normal for manc (they are considering a hosepipe ban!) any idea yet where you are living for next year? Have fun out there! Dan

Ros Hi Annie Have only worked out how to view your latest posting so looking forward to reading the "back issues" when someone shows me how. Doctors and pharmacists do party with nurses; I was at a retirement bash last week with 5 consultant ENT surgeons dancing on the tables and hamming it up for Britain!!! Nan sends her Love and hopes the card gets to you for your birthday. Love Ros and Nan
