It's my 30th next weekend. Sunday 28th June. Put it in your diaries!

I decided that with it being a big one this year I'd try and get people together. I mean I do know a fair few people...work, uni, school, home...and I figured that this weekend could be my pre birthday knees up.

So I looked through my facebook contacts and got in touch with the most important...people who I had seen most recently, people who meant the most to me and from the 200+ friends I made it down to 20.

I started off sending a message about two months in advance...kind of a keep this date open...I had a few responses most of which were positive. Anyway I then sent out a reminder a couple of weeks ago asking people to let me know as soon as possible so I could cater in terms of food and drinks.

Well I have had a positive response from my girlfriend, two exes and two of my closest friends from my Uni days...one ex has since had to say no but until mid week was coming...everyone else...nothing!

I guess it shows which of your friends you can count on. I guess it shows which friends you mean something to and which consider you as a mere acquaintance too.

I can't decide whether to send out a last ditch attempt at an invite...tell people to get there a bit later on...tell people I'll provide the booze...or just leave it!

Quality rather than quantity hey?
