Wow, thankyou all v much 4 all the lovely stuff u sent me, and the money! And all the cards made me shed a few tears!! So i woke up on my birthday to a completly hectic day cos alot of the kids were leaving in camp so there was alot of parent meeting and goodbyes to be said, we were all working until about 6 and then we could go out. Loads of people saying and singing happy birthday to me. was really really lovely. Got to 6 and a group of about 30 took me out to a local steak house for food, it was really great and really nice to see the group of people grow as more people said they wanted to celebrate my birthday. After that we all went back to the beach on the lake and had a party! We got back in at about 245 so now im shattered. All in all it was a really fantastic day. Thankyou so much for your messages on here, i had a little tear reading them! Oh and this girl from the local supermarket just followed us back to the lake and partyed with us, was really wierd. Missing you all like mad. 2 new kids arrived today, so all the kids who stayed in my cabin are in mad show off mood so im tired and ratty but still having a great time! How is every thing at home? Sorry if my birthday "write up" isnt great, im going to add to it when i have more time and energy! lots of love to all of you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
