Today James is 31, yay!

We got up and the kids gave their presents to him.  Krystal sounded like she had a sore throat and was a bit hoarse.  I took Kory down to nursery.  We all went back down to collect him later then headed out for lunch.  We went to Frankie & Benny's down the beach.  It was nice, although Krystal wasn't very happy throughout. 

Once we were done, she seemed ok and we decided to head to Asda for a few bits 'n' bobs.  Mistake!  She started really crying, we left with nothing and she coughed till she was sick in the car.  We came home and she crashed out which she never does. 

We did manage to get her to eat a sandwich and some grapes for her tea, didn't even want to try with a proper meal.  She's gone to bed ok, but been awake already, poor baby.

Anyway, James did well for pressies, I got him a pair of Oakley glasses, he got money from lots of people, a remote control helicopter which him and Kory have had fun with, Guitar Hero (Aerosmith) and a book on Lost.  Not bad for someone who doesn't like birthday's I reckon! 

All in all with me not being 100% able yet and Krystal being ill, it wasn't the birthday I/we expected.  Happy Birthday Jamesy!

P.S.  Walking back to the car today the kids were peering in these doors for a while.  I decided to take a photo for Jenni's benefit.  The doors are that of an old haunt from the good old student days, Amadeus.  Inside looks like no-one has been in since the doors closed several years ago.
