Managed to go to Tourette's Point with Anna in Sian's car as we were going to pick her up afterwards and she could drive back, but the exhaust seems to have blown and it sounds so loud that I couldn't drive it. Managed to get a few choice pressies for her and feel better about it now.  Haven't managed to get her a birthday cake with a photo of her as a baby on though.  Just ran out of time.  Maybe next year.  It will be the thing that she really wants though.  Never mind.  Pat has been totally engrossed in the new pond this week and I'm sure he would have forgotten all about the BBQ he offered to do for her.  Hopefully she will keep the numbers down as we've only really got stuff for about 15.....
I know I shouldn't say it, but I'm looking forward to next week.  It's been very fraught with the old stress.  Anna's birthday next. 13. what was I thinking??
