So... what's it like to be 24? It's actually really depressing. Possibly the crappiest birthday ever. My brother's card won't be here until at least tomorrow because he got his dates mixed up, and my cousin Patrick forgot to buy one, so it's late. And I dunno whether my cousin Duncan and Uncle Roger forgot or whether the cards were delayed in the mail, but there were absoultely zero cards for me in the mail today.

I got a card off Mum & Dad, Jean & Ray, Nan, and Sandra and a few people from work - plus some chocolates from Julie and a cute notebook & chocs from Ailsa, and a £10 note off my Nan. I mean, I wasn't expecting a whole lot of stuff, because my extended family don't give stuff after the 21st birthday, but it would have been nice if they could have maybe acknowledged me a little more.

My Nan phoned, and James phoned, but no other relatives did. I dunno, maybe it's not as bad as I think, but it just seems to hurt a whole bunch.

My Mum made me a carrot cake and put some candles on it and tried to make it a special day. She's taking me into town for lunch tomorrow and we're gonna go 'round the charity shops, so that'll be fun at least.
