So it was my fiancée's 30th Birthday and I wanted to do something big for it. Her birthday usually gets missed due to the huge number of birthdays we have in November and its our sons birthday then also. I browsed the internet and looked through the shops but just couldn't find anything that would be any different from a normal birthday. Then I had an idea.... its her 30th birthday so how about 30 ideas in 30. I don't know how to word it very well but you'll get the jist in a minute.
I planned a whole weekend for her. Starting with the Thursday...
I worked Thursday morning but I left it so that she had nothing to do... what a great start that is. No cleaning, ironing or any housework in any way, shape or form. Her favourite food is Antipasto so I got every cold meat, cheese and crackers going with some lovely fresh bread. A candle lit dinner - gorgeous.

During the meal I gave her this...

| Cuddle kit I made her a 'Cuddle kit' hamper and this was what I put in it.... |
- Champagne - since it was for a special occasion.
- DVD
- Scented candle
- Hot chocolate with all the trimmings (marshmallows, chocolate chips, and cream)
- Bar of luxury chocolate
- Ferrero rochers
- Popcorn
And that was our evening sorted... PERFECT.
Friday - HER BIRTHDAY <3
I had quite a lot up my sleeve for today as I wanted it to be perfect and I think I can safely say I gained a few brownie points.
So morning, pressies.... as I said earlier, I came up with this crazy 30 plan. This is where it starts to make sense. So to start... a little about her. Apart from being the most beautiful lady and great mummy... she is also Scottish and very fussy (EVERYTHING depends on mood). This covered it all, I also made her a scrap book which incorporated some the ideas.
- I love you in 30 languages (inside scrap book)
- Happy birthday in 30 languages (inside scrap book)
- 30 reasons why I love you (inside scrap book)
- 30 things that happened in 1983 (inside scrap book)
- 30 random facts (inside scrap book)
- 30 people you share your birthday with (inside scrap book)
- 30 personality traits of a scorpio
- 30 pic and mix sweets
- 30 photos (I made the frame and photos were attached, photo to follow)
- 30 IOU's
- 30 pairs of socks (we always argue over socks, well we used to)
- £30 worth of lottery tickets
- 30 chocolate bars (to cover every mood)
- 30 things of scotland... this one was hard but I did it and was so proud here are a few things I did: I got her sister to send down loads of traditional scottish food, bought her a scottish children's book to read to alex, we want to climb the Munros so got her a book about routes, scottish dvds etc.
- Flashdance movie (came out in 1983)
- 30 Hershy kisses
- 30 tea lights
- 30 places we are going to / have been (I bought a vintage map, attached it to cork and framed it before putting pins in 30 places - photo to follow)
- 30 Balloons
- 30 year old bottle of wine
- 30 random things
- £30 amazon voucher
- 30 cans of fat coke (her favourite)
- 30 flowers
- 30 cupcakes
- Percy Pigs (her favourite plus she was born in the year of the pig)
- 30th Birthday card
- A new Ipod with 30 songs on it
- 30th Birthday cake
- A spa day which included, with the rest, a 30 minute treatment at the Scarlet Hotel
She loved it, she couldn't believe how much effort I had put in.
It didn't end there either... she was feeling particularly homesick before her birthday probably because she was hoping her parents were coming down for it. The nearer we got the less hopeful she was. Well SURPRISE... I had organised for them to come down and meet us at a restaurant. She had no idea, she said that after I gave her the spa day, which was for the following day, she never thought they would be down because of the lack of time. Well she was wrong and she was chuffed. We had a pretty chilled afternoon before a few of her friends and my family joined us for a little birthday buffet.
It was a great day and am so happy she had an amazing few days... o and the Spa was GORGEOUS.
