It's my Karl's 60th birthday on Tuesday and I've planned such a lovely day for him. Can't wait.

Got him a chocolate birthday cake and birthday decorations to put up. I'm giving him 60 quid in his card, he's definitely not expecting it. We are going out for lunch to celebrate, to a carvery. Me him his mum and his best friend John. I'm paying.

He doesn't know John is coming, it's a surprise. It's going to be really lovely.

We won't want any tea because we'll all be stuffed, but I'm getting a trifle which we'll have in the evening.

I've also got him a silver pocket watch with an embossed train on the front, it's gorgeous.

I've been able to afford to do it all because I gave up the gambling, and that's very much thanks to the support I got on here. It's really been appreciated. Love you all.
