My birthday is in August and one year I was baking and had put a cake in the oven and thought I should prepare for the next one so started to melt the butter for it, completely forgot about it and since it was a beautiful day I went outside to sit in the sun. The door was open and I could smell the cake and thought - no it can't be reday yet - but when I turned around there was a lot of black smoke coming my way!! The butter was on fire! I put a lid on the pan and found out that the kitchen fan had melted and looked like a drop. Luckily nothing else started to burn. Not my best birthday!Carin@Ullhärvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18151120034508509678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258455195417687366.post-27877218028418281432014-03-14T16:30:25.733+08:002014-03-14T16:30:25.733+08:00Wow, I've obviously missed a few posts :-( How...Wow, I've obviously missed a few posts :-( However, so pleased to hear you had a fabulous birthday!!!

My disastrous Birthday story - the year Kate turned 2, we were have a BBQ at night with 20 family friends, My Mum came down from Rocky and we were having a wonderful day prepping for the party, Stephen's Nan lived in a retirement village about 20 mins from our place so we collected her for the day (she wasn't staying for the BBQ), so after lunch Stephen was to take her home and he said to me - how about you take Nan home so I can finish putting up the decorations, it was a horrid rainy day and I HATE driving in the rain, so in the car was Nan, our friend/next door neighbour, Kate and myself, we first dropped into Woolies and collected the Birthday cake and then proceeded to take Nan home, a car was out of control on opposite side of road and come into our path and we had a head on accident, OMG I will never ever forget the noise, it was horrific, anyway the story goes on and on BUT we all ended up in hospital for hours and hours and the people that came to celebrate Kate's 2nd Birthday had come and gone by the time we got home. Stephen's Nan died one week later from internal injuries, this is when we found out about Kate's Mitral valve leakage and she had open heart surgery 2-1/2 years later. So there was a negative and a positive to the day, as if not for the accident we might not have found out about Kate's heart so early and she may not have been with us today.....

Earlier in the week, Noel had jumped off the back of a truck and hurt his leg. But being a man, he didn't go to the doctors but kept hobbling around. When he finally went 3 days later, it turned out he had torn his achilles. He sheepishly rang me to ask me to bring a bag as he had to go to hospital. But as he had been on his leg, it was too swollen to operate. It wasn't going to be done until Sunday, the day of Mitchell's party! So poor little Mitchell missed out!Christine Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920647581818665215noreply@blogger.com
