It\u2019s my favourite week of the year: birthday week. I\u2019ve never really been one of those people who squeal on and on about their birthday for ages beforehand and demand that many different festivities are organised for them, who expect special balloons with their age on and feel deeply, genuinely hurt when not everyone within a four mile radius remembers that it\u2019s their \u201cspecial day\u201d. I will admit, however, that I do get a little tickle of childlike excitement as the dates on the calendar flick over towards my dedicated day of enforced joy. It\u2019s mental muscle memory, isn\u2019t it? Because it was the most thrilling thing of all when you were small, knowing that your birthday was drawing closer and that soon there would be a day\u00a0entirely about you<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Different now, of course. Maybe I\u2019ll manage to do something that\u2019s \u201centirely for me\u201d at some point on the 28th November but mostly I think I\u2019ll be ploughing through work (it\u2019s the busiest work time of the year) and perhaps, if I have time, perusing Vestiaire, the second-hand luxury clothing platform, to see what else I can buy that will be totally and utterly unsuitable for me. (Honestly, this pre-loved thing has taken a really bad turn since my\u00a0Vinted post<\/a><\/strong>. I will update you soon but it\u2019s safe to say that my purchases thus far have been 80% a complete waste of cash.)<\/p>\n

Before we reach Thursday, though, we have my selection of recent \u201cfive favourite things\u201d and\u00a0boy\u00a0<\/em>is it a strong turnout this month. At least four of the five things have made me whoop (embarrassingly) with joy and the remaining favourite, the lesser-favoured runt of the litter, has still left me feeling pretty pleased with life.<\/p>\n

Historically these favourites posts have been Youtube videos and I have no intention of changing that now that I\u2019ve moved the blog to Substack: you can read a little bit about each favourite if you scroll down past the video screen but for the full energy, maximum enjoyment experience, click the play button and settle on in for a cosy chat:<\/p>\n
