Mum's Birthday

On 9 May it was Mum's 50th birthday, and we had a surprise party for her. Went really well, considering how many times it nearly went wrong. On the day of, we sent mum and dad out and told dad to bring her home at seven to give her two best friends time to get over to ours with the food, decorations etc. Unfortunately, at around 6:30pm, dad called and said they were coming home because mama needed the loo and refused to go anywhere but home. We panicked and tried getting decorations up etc. Somehow we made it in time. She came in just as Sarah was lighting the sparklers she'd bought for mum's birthday cupcakes. The wax on the sparklers kept dripping on the cupcakes so she had to get them all and put them in a glass and light them like that. Mama came in and looked shocked when we all shouted SURPRISE. While she chatted with her friends about how shocked she was, Sarah tried to light the candles that said "49" because the shop had run out of 0s, and she didn't want to make mum 51. While she was leaning down she hadn't realised that the sparklers had caught fire in a big way and were burning near her hair. She glanced down, did a double take and shrieked. Everyone started shouting at once, while she blew on them frantically. They wouldn't go out so she spat on them (haha sexy!) which did the trick.

We all had a really good meal and took pictures. I looked good if I say so myself. I wore a black shirt and Luxe jeans with a really nice silver tie from Topshop.

Overall it was a really good evening and mum had a really nice time.
