Birthday!

It was my birthday yesterday! Now, I am not big on telling the world it's my birthday or on major celebrations but I do expect a little fuss from my husband! I love my coffee but no matter what machines I buy, I am never quite satisfied (plus I don't like anything too complicated) so this is what B gave me for my birthday - it's a Nespresso coffee machine...so neat and slender, just right for my little kitchen!

If you haven't heard about Nespresso, here goes...there are special Nespresso coffee machines (a variety of manufacturers make them) and you buy these pretty little Nespresso coffee capsules...they come in a variety of strengths, richness etc...you pop them in to your machine, press a button and hey presto...yummy delicious espresso or americano (with perfect crema too) in just 60 seconds!

B also bought me a voucher for my favourite facial spa which I am very much looking forward to when the "bad stuff" (exams etc) is over! We are going out to celebrate on Friday (also celebrating the return of my brother from overseas (he has been working in Chad for the past 5 months) and then on Sunday we are going to the War of the Worlds at the O2! Nice :)
