Birthday Paaaaarty

The night finally arrived of my 30th birthday party. Nelufa flew up to Sydney (a bit later than expected after Barry booked her flight from Sydney to Melbourne not Melbourne to Sydney!), Tanya and Ryan came down from Newcastle and we all had fun during the day.

We all started to get ready around 5pm and Jo and Tanya took off to the pub early to get things organised. I got a lift with Ben and I arrived around 7.30pm at the Clock to a group of my friends smiling faces, pictures of me all over the place with balloons!
The night was fantastic with so m
any people making the trip from all over Sydney to be there. Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a special night.

I was totally spoilt and had so many fantastic gifts it was completely unreal. I came away with; a massage at Your Sanctuary in Paddington, G-Star gift voucher, Gordon Ramsay's new cookbook (which is so delicious!), the new Coldplay and Kasey Chambers/Shane Nicholson CDs (both of which are awesome), tickets to see Kasey/Shane at the State Theatre!!, Peter Alexander nightie, movie tickets, manicure vouchers, the list goes on! Jo with help from Donna and others did an amazing job of everything, I really couldn't have asked for more.

Donna was the resident photographer (see pics below including the best photo of Jo EVER) and the money we put behind the bar didn't last too long but that was probably a good thing considering we left the pub at midnight and a smaller group headed to Palms on Oxford St until 3am!! It all started with Donna and I listening to Sneaky Sound System on her iPod in the queue, followed by the usual Palms tunes, a few beers and then I don't really remember much after that. Great night!

The delicious birthday cake!

Donna, Me, Bronwyn and Jo - all smiles!

The best photo of Jo - ever!

I'd go along with the comment about that photo of Jo - she looks stunning! :o)

I'm trying to work out what your "new" hairdo is - aside from a different colour... Maybe it's a boy thing and all girls automatically notice the differences!
