I'm 40 uurrgghhhhh!

Ok, so it was my 40th birthday last week

(still cringing at the sound of that!)

but on the plus side, I did get really spoilt,

I might have to turn 40 again next year LMAO

What did I get? this......

yep, a new computer :o) (I'm still doing the happy dance hehe)

hubby wanted to get me a laptop, but I'm not biggest fan of laptops,

I know I am crazy, I can hear you all from here, but I like a good

desktop computer!

Anyway, just have to share this story with you all...

Hubby went off to JB Hifi on the way home from work and he

found a nice little computer that was on sale for $490, I think

it was an Acer, so he came home with it, got my daughter

to help him set it up and what do you know, the darn thing

wouldn't boot up. He tried for a bit (he does know what

he's doing lol) and then rang the store. The Sales guy tells

him to ring E-machines (the manufacturer), you can imagine

hubby's reaction...quite colourful indeed!

He asks to talk to the manager, who then says bring it

in and we'll have a look at it (lucky it was thursday night),

anyway, so hubby insists we all go in!

The manager and a few other guys come and look,

expecting it to be some silly thing that hubby didn't do.

Hubby says "You bloody ruined my Mrs' birthday!!"

They realise the computer was not worrking correctly

and they don't have anymore of that model in stock!

That'd be right haha, anyway they look at hubby, who

is by no means a small fellow and quickly offer him a

free upgrade (Yay me!) so I ended up with this HP Compaq

which was on sale for $700. I'm happy!

Woohoo!!!!!

What else did I get? well, my niece LISA LEE who alot of you

may know, has a fantastic blog My Little Creative Wonderland

sent me this awesome gift...

3 full kits from  Bit of Whimsy Dolls

- Gertie Goat

- Millie Monkey

- Katie Kitten

all with fabric, patterns and everything needed to make

all three dolls. Lisa is absolutely addicted to these

dolls, I think she should almost have shares in the

company, with the amount she has brought...they are

so darn cute though!!!  I also got some extra fabrics

too as seen in the photo.

Thanks so much Lisa, I LOVE them all!

Oh and from family I also scored a $200 gift card

for Spotlight, (that's already got a bit of a beating lol)

a pretty photo frame and 40th glass

and some yummy alcohol :o)

(well, had to have some comfort in turning 40 hehe)

Cheers everyone, I had a great birthday!

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Crafting!
