your wonderful messages and lots of people wishing me happy birthday thank you very very much um yeah it was wonderful and i was asked if i would share what i got by one or two people and then i decided i'll do a little poll on my instagram to see if that's something that the majority of you like to say and everyone said yes so this is what i got for my birthday i am not doing this video in an intention to brag oh look at me this is just what i got and i'm very happy with everything i'm very very lucky and very aware of that so let's start with the things that youtube got me not youtube itself but thank you to youtube so um if you didn't know already in the top line description box lies my amazon wishlist um it's one of those things where i never expect people to get me things but occasionally people do i'm always very very grateful always a little bit emotional as well and for my birthday a couple of people got me some bits so starting off the lovely anna who's a viewer thank you very very much anna she picked me up agatha christie's poirot the greatest detective in the world by mark aldridge this has sat on my wish list ever since it came out in late 2020 and i'm so excited to read it it has pictures inside as well and it's just going to be like a biography of poirot i can't wait to read it thank you so much anna oh um speaking of agatha christie the lovely graham who has his own channel graeme stella's reads um i'll link that in the description below him and his husband duncan and they're three gorgeous pups they've got corgis they treated me to this book this is another agatha christie this is a mysterious life by laura thompson this is the revised edition the book originally came out in 2007 i think and then this is the 2020 kind of revised updated edition so thank you very much so two very agatha christie themed books thank you both of you um both of you all of you for getting these books very very kind then my friend the lovely julie from channel hungry bookworm she got me something a little bit different so she knows my love of the women's suffrage movement and that's what theme she went down and the first person that she got me she said i'm not sure if you already have it and she was a little bit worried about it i was like don't worry and it's something that i do already have it is this this is um suffoc replicas so they do a whole series of these all different ones and i own quite a few actually i own a home front one i own a 1920s one i own a few i own a christmas one as well um this is suffragette one but i am one of these people were i often like to have one and have a spare so i was quite happy to have this because i don't feel so bad about using my other one and i'll keep this in pristine condition and then she also picked me up some uh suffragette earrings so these are earrings in the colors of the wspu which is uh violet white and green these are so nice yeah i'm really looking forward to wearing them they're really light as well so they won't hang heavy on my ears now as it's my birthday i do think it's my prerogative to stretch out as far as it will go and so on the monday my fiance and poppy took me to kenworth castle had the most wonderful day and then we went to stratford for the afternoon and i went into some shops first of all i went into a couple of charity shops and i picked up this lovely vintage necklace for 1.99 which i thought was nice bargain of the day has to be this beautiful celluloid floral bracelet i already own one of these um they can go for really like crazy prices for like 25 30 quid i paid 99 p for this knock bam and i love it i do already own a steady load bangle but not one as kind of thin as this and my other one that i have is a bit thicker so really happy to have that then if you taste some rustling it was this bag they have instead of unhaven a beatrix potter shop um why not and in there i had a nose and i picked up a little fridge magnet first of all of mrs rabbit so peter rabbit's mom for 2.99 and i also got this this is harbor history's game this is a card game it's called battle card games and this is from the tudors to the 20th century but they do one which is uh stone age to middle ages which i think i'd like to get my hands on next this is 5.99 i haven't played it yet but um yeah i'm looking forward to playing it i have no idea how you do that so that would be fun to play uh to have a go i do i do love my games my lovely friend uh got me a card online and with it came this lovely candle says relax on it and be kind to yourself and it has these kind of blue bits in it it smells really nice it's so strong kind of sweet yet really refreshing and i do i do like a candle i don't actually thing is since i used to burn candles all the time but since having pup i don't really burn the candles i just have them out but that smells really nice and then my mother-in-law to be cause of course i'm engaged so she's not my mother-in-law yet um but she got me another candle this one says 30 on it just a nice reminder of my age thank you and this one's vanilla like sweet banana it's very nice and then she also got me this which was cute uh this is uh make your own kind of fairy garden but this is for things to attract bees which is very very important i like to have a lot of like purple flowers in my garden because bees really like purple apparently i don't blame them it's one of my favorite colors too on my actual birthday myself my mom and dad and pup went to a national trust i had a lovely lovely time and the national trust that we went to was a hambury hall beautiful georgian house and they've been changing it up quite a bit because of restrictions that have happened so they had to close the cafe because it was quite thin and all these types of things but they ended up rearranging it so that there is a new book area a new second-hand bookshop and in there didn't get any secondhand books but if you i mean if you follow me on instagram you'd have already seen that if i did pick up these so these are vintage sewing patterns originally i picked up this one because i was just like this just looks so pretty i want to have it on display late 50s early 60s in a beautiful pink i thought that's really nice and then i saw this uh early 70s one i think was 1974 yep and i thought oh i like this skirt i'd quite like to give it a go and the thing about saying patterns is once you've got it you've got it so it doesn't matter if you go completely wrong because you can try again so these are a pound each and i am going to give them a go at some point let me know if you'd like to have an update of how they go off my brother and sister-in-law and their family i got my cake my sister-in-law made my cake and it was amazing she did two tears chocolate on the top and then a victoria sponge at the bottom so my two favorite choices of cake and it had a bunny rabbit on the top and it had books and it was lovely and so she made me that they also got me a rose which obviously i can't show you because i've planted it in my garden and then they also got me this i don't know how well you can see that but it says happy 30th isn't it cool now i have seen these around and i always thought it was done by cutting but it's not apparently done by folding and i'm like oh talented again it's a purple because it's one of my favorite colors my favorite colors are pink and purple so purple i'm definitely going to stick this on my bookshelf to display the actual book is a josephine cox which i've never read a josephine cox i don't think she's my thing but um that is incredible my aunt and her partner got me a few goodies very very kind of her um starting off she got me some notelets i always like to write thank you cards and things like that and actually it's to the point now where i've actually only got two left so i started with eight and i've now got two but they're in these lovely floral designs they also got me this massive glass that says gorgeous at 30 happy birthday it's a gin glass i don't drink gin but let's be honest she could put anything in there but it is huge i was thinking i could get a lot of fanta lemon in there which is just the idril drink of choice isn't it or a strawberry daiquiri that'd be a massive strawberry decoration and they also got me a couple of jewellery bits starting with some little earrings which are really really nice i really like these i actually wore these on my birthday in the end and a bracelet which is very much my sort of thing so it's like silver plated and rose gold plated and i thought that was just lovely i like fine bracelets then i like to stack them well i haven't got anything on today no joy whatsoever on today it's too hot and then at the end of the week my other half said i'm gonna take you out for the day so he took me for lunch and for drinks and we just had this lovely lovely day out and we went to a couple of shops as well including hobbycraft so hobbycraft if you didn't know if you're a member you get sand a five pound voucher and with my voucher i did a little bit of spending although not a lot at all really so i've just got into cross stitch thank you julie for helping me and i've just done this this is my first piece it's just a beginner's one um but i loved it and i've definitely got the motion for and i've got the swing don't look at the back for too long it don't look great but i really like it and i think i'm going to frame this and put it in my spare room but i wanted to advance slightly and make it slightly harder because these ones are really easy because you just follow the pattern that's printed on it it was just printed straight on that and off you go so you can't go too wrong but i wanted to advance into one where you like read the pattern sort of thing and then do it on the blank thing um material brain come on so i got this this is a beatrix potter cross stitch kit it says this is easy we'll see how easy it is it comes with the heap and then the designs on the white sheet and then obviously you get the blue to do it all one we'll see how i get on how i got on transferring it over so wish me luck but obviously that cost me two pounds as well as treating me to lunch and drinks and all different bits and bobs like that my other half did buy me a few little presents uh starting off you picked me up yours cheerfully by aj pierce and this beautiful hardback edition we went to waterstones and he's like oh don't you like that i was like yes i do this one has these beautiful edges with typewriters on and this edition is actually signed so yeah i got treated to that and i absolutely adored dear mrs bird so very happy to have the sequel and while i was shopping it was a big shopping center i went into the disney shop and i picked up a couple of mugs because i just can't resist so first of all i got this mary poppins one which i just thought it's very me with the pink florals and the white and then at the round it says a spoonful of sugar and it's a massive mug i thought this would be wonderful for hot chocolate and to stir in we have her umbrella i love that that's so cool yeah that was lovely and the other mug is not one that i'm gonna drink from i'm going to display it on my shelves similar to my henry mug it's this one it's a load of books you can tell where it is just from the handle it of course from beauty and the beast there's a stack full of books there and it goes all the way around it's lovely it says looking for adventure there and it's just yeah of course the rose which is my favorite flower on the handle so super happy that he picked me up these lovely lovely mugs to add to my collection and last but not least a few bits that i picked up because it's my birthday i always buy myself some stuff like to me from me happy birthday anybody else do that or is it just me do i have a problem don't answer that it probably is just me i don't care so when i went to kenworth castle i had of course a little look in the shop saw some things that i liked but i had previously looked their shop and they didn't have anything that i was like really wanting to get so i did a little bit of spending online because i thought next time i come to kennel work i can get these other bits then that's that's how i think yeah it's fine in my head i know silly uh so first of all i picked up this little notepad this is four pound online and it's all the english monarchs from 1066 to the present day finishing of course with that current queen elizabeth ii and they're really comical and i really like it i love the fact that edward the eighth is facing the other way because of course he abdicated really early on we also have my beloved elizabeth first we've even got lady jane grey on there although hers is quite sad um george the four's quite funny because he's just there with booze and charles the first of course is there without his head attached to his shoulders it is there and so i'm really happy to have that and i thought once i've used this because i go through notepads like nobody's business at the moment doing my master's degree um so once i've used that i'll just take this off and have this as a little print i also in the same design picked up the mug this i think was either 12 pound or 12.99 but i couldn't pass it up i don't know if i'm going to use this i probably won't i'll either have it on my shelves to display or i will have it on my desk and put pens and stuff in um i just loved it and last but not least my final present a main present to myself is in this box so english heritage carry a line called mini me and i think it is just exclusively for english heritage i don't think you can get them elsewhere but i'm not 100 sure when i was at kenneworth i saw the elizabeth one and i saw the henry viii one they also do a queen victoria one two eventually i'd like to get them all however i didn't see this one and i was thinking i don't know around me where i'd be able to find this one so online i had to get it because i know i can get the elizabeth born at kennel earth if that makes sense and of course i'm talking about her so this is a mini me they never show like their full faces it's just uh their nose mouth chin etc and this is the suffragette one you can tell that because of course uh sash is green white and purple and she's carrying a placard that says votes for women and it's just wonderful these are 18 pound and they're really heavy i wasn't expecting them to be heavy but they are it's just so sweet i love her so so much and i've kept her in the box waiting to do this haul but now i could put her proudly on my suffragette women's history shelves although i have to say i now have overflowing shelves so i think i need to um do some rearranging on my shelves and just so that i can squish her on because i love her so so much and there we have it that is everything that i got for my 30th birthday thank you to everyone for your messages and your kind words and just wishing me happy birthday and if you picked me up a present for my birthday thank you thank you thank you so so much honestly it means the world um that yeah youtube has to make friends like this so it's wonderful so thank you so much for watching i hope you're having a wonderful day take care and i shall see you soon for the next video bye for now
