I really like jerusalem artichokes so I'm thinking I should have that and it will be a treat, on the other hand, wild boar! Or game and goose liver!

( Other things I have done recently that I forgot to add to the last list )

Amazing presents that make me feel very loved, roughly in order of appearance:

* Wang ticket
* Bangface ticket & getting me completely wasted at BF
* Cava
* So many vodkas bought for me from the vodka bar
* Remote control tarantula
* So many happy birthday messages on all the intertubes that I couldn't begin to tell you how bowled over I am over them! And thankyou XXX
* Money
* Bee-yoo-tee-full dress AND jewellery AND wine that goes with prawns from the lovely Zara
* Radioactive Man comic (har har)
* Design my own running shoes so I can go running again yay! AND enough mojitos to last until I am out of my poor-paying-off-debts phase from James (he actually emailed my favourite tapas bar to get a prepaid voucher thing redeemable for mojitos - how cool is that?), plus all the cocktail outings, dinners, lunches and a cava breakfast
* Tickets to Magnetic Fields next year (!)
* Cake
* Ham, chorizo and vodka

I love my parents. My Dad gave me vodka, my Mum gave me money in a card with the message "spend this on something sensible like drink, drugs and rock n'roll" - but why not sex?
