Today's my last day in my 30s. I've been so busy planning the celebration on saturday, I've completely overlooked thinking about some fun for the day itself tomorrow. Kids won't be back at school so we could fill the day if we wanted - tho they will only just be back from a long journey so they may not want to go anywhere. As things stand we may need to go shopping for school shoes, tho I'm not sure I can bear that. I won't want to cook as that's not my thing, and my fave place to eat is shut. We could perhaps get the Mac down from the loft to look for photos on there. Maybe if the weather suits we could cycle over to Bonds for icecream - that would take most of the day!
There is already one present to open - several people have said they wanted to give me something for me, tho I've already also been given almost enough money for one Kenyan bike, so that's fab. For my 30th birthday I raised £460, which when gift aided became 49 goats. At £12 each, it was much easier for my friends to buy a single goat and think of giving me that as a gift. No-one is likely to give me an entire £63 for a bike, so I will have to be creative when I stand up (ulp) on Sat. I can encourage people to picture the bike chain that will be in frequent motion around a dusty African village if they say give a fiver. Or that by giving me a tenner they can imagine the wheel that they have provided. It'll be fine.
