Thanks to everyone for the kind birthday messages. It was really appreciated.

My actual birthday was great. The days either side were a bit rubbish but I'll go into that in a bit.

As I said I was at writerconuk on my birthday and I had an amazing time. I was a wee bit stressed in the days leading up to it as I was chair of the committee and I was sure everything was going to go wrong and everyone was going to blame me. But it all ran pretty much smoothly. And the lovely attendees surprised me with cake and a card <3
