on turning TWENTY FIVE...

Now, I think turning 25 is going to be quite a traumatic experience. I mean, 25 is pretty OLD. It's the kind of age where people look at you and start thinking that maybe you should have a REAL job, and a husband and some children and a guinea pig and a casserole dish. ME, I have NONE of those but to be honest, right now, the casserole dish is the only thing out of that lot that I really want, and maybe the guinea pig but only if it's really small and cute and doesn't stink and travels well in a suitcase.

Anyways, yes, turning 25 is not going to be easy, so to console myself and ease the pain I have come up with a list of things that you can all buy me. Now, I've gone to a lot of trouble to ensure you know EXACTLY what I want and have put corresponding images of each item so as to make it easier for you, I'm just thoughtful like that...

So, number 1 on the list, is a scooter, a pale blue, vintage scooter. Just like this one. it doesn't even have to be a Vespa or anything...

But if you can only find a pink one then that will be okay too, I won't even be cross.

Number 2, a pink polaroid camera with lots of  extra film...

EXACTLY like this one (please). If you can't find that one, which I suspect might be the case then you can buy me this one... they're the latest out and very cute too...

These ones come with loads of accessories, like little leather albums and a special pen to write on the pictures and all sorts of cases and lenses and OOOOOOH I WANT iiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, please.

Uh, next. Number 3. I would like a horse, one that can give hugs , just like this one

I think's that all

WAIT, I've thought of something else...

I'd like a 3 year urrr gift voucher (?) to The Silwood School of Cookery in Cape Town or Le Cordon Bleu in Paris where I'd live somewhere like THIS

Okay, well, there you have it, my birthday wish list, if perhaps you feel I might be asking a bit much, then a beautiful bunch of flowers and a cupcake or a bonsai panda will be just fine.

28 July
That's when I turn 25. Just so you know. You still have six days.
