Well bye bye twenties.... Hello dirty thirties!!!! Happy Birthday to me!!!

 

No mini based presents yet though :unsure: but haven't seen the rest of the family.  :lol:

 

Also the most upsetting present I didn't get was having the Van done.....  :cry:  Nevermind there's always my 40th!!!! haha

Happy birthday for today mate,

My daughter who is 5 today shares the same birthday ;-)

It was my sons 11th birthday yesterday too lol. Only another 6yrs before he gets a Mini !!

Had a look in the day light at my efforts in the week. And i have to say im impressed with my efforts at painting, the coverage isnt bad at all. Could be better mind but fine for the underneath. Really need a better gun though I think.

Ow and......


My god its bright!!!!!!
