A Mad Hatter Birthday

I feel old - this weekend my niece turned 18! I remember when she was born, I was at an under 18 rave thing in Blackheath Concert Halls! It's difficult to get a present for an 18 year old as its that type of age where anything you get won't be trendy enough so i went for a gift box option and saw this idea on Pinterest. It's mad hatter themed wrapping! Each item has a label like in Alice in Wonderland.

This box had open me on the lid, then inside it had eat me, drink me, drink with me and wear me. It was a collect of things she likes so the eat me was a box of Oreos, the drink me was a big bottle of a cocktail, the drink with me was an 18 glass and the wear me was an engraved gold bar necklace like the Kardashians wear (who she loves). It was engraved with the co-ordinates of where she was born.

I hope she liked it!

Birthday weekend

So my birthday was kept secret from me until our arrival at the hotel. I was very confused as you can imagine especially when I was asked what I wanted off a set menu and asked to find a costume!! We we're trying to figure it out at school for a good week before the day. So I packed for multiple options and off we went in the car...to who knows! We end up in Cheltenham at a very fancy hotel. Ooooo, we walked in to afternoon tea where a couple were having a domestic in full volume of everyone there! Turns out they were acting and we were at a murder mystery weekend! Now I'm not normally a fan of murder mystery weekend when you have to be a character and act but this was different as we we're just there as guests trying to solve the murder/s whilst actual actors acted around us. It was fab! People found dead in the stairwell, someone stabbed in the kitchen! Needless to say we got it wrong but we didn't get the award for worst guess so that was good! Cheltenham is a nice place. We had a poke around before leaving and it seems very posh! Great shops too. Will have to revisit. So my birthday weekend was a great surprise. Going to have to think of something as good for Daniel's 30th!

Birthday Surprise

Daniel has planned something for my birthday this weekend. He is keeping it very secret but every now and again lets out some teasers to get me thinking. So far I am aware that I need to wear an evening dress, though that then turned to a super hero costume, thankfully we don't have to wear one so evening wear it is. Also I was asked what I would want to eat from a theoretical menu! I have plumped for the hand dived scallops, duck breast with fondant potatoes in some kind of sauce and I said surprise me for dessert as I would eat both, autumn fruit pudding and clotted cream or creme brulee.

I want to know what is going on!!!! Two days...
