Not to you, dear reader – I’m two weeks late for that – but to just one dear reader…
…yes, Spud is 23 today! Happy birthday, Spud.
To celebrate, here’s some of your greatest hits:
23 years ago today, and Mummy was as roly poly then as she is now, but with more excuse…
Little punk
Love me, love the boy who thinks he owns me…
Brothers ‘n’ arms
Growing lad
So good looking
Family gathering
Release the hounds!
Glass funeral. No, seriously.
Brothers ‘n tired arms.
Soooo good looking.
I sing, therefore I am
Proud daddy
Sleeping beauty
Need I say more?

Money, money, money. I’m an actor; I probably won’t see this much money again in one place in my lifetime.
How to rock headgear
All you need is a little razzmatazz!
Seriously – sooooo good looking
How I got here
And a little song to celebrate:
Not a birthday song, but one of my favourites by Alex and, let’s be honest, when I found out I was pregnant twenty-three years ago, I felt like dancing. Now I dance like felt.
I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch. Cancel reply
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
Isn’t it fun to watch who they become? Happy Birthday to your Alex!

happy birthday, Spud. When I saw that first picture I thought, OMG she’s had another baby…then the fog cleared and I realized it was a retrospective.
Missed ya.
