Well as you all know it was my sisters birthday on Tuesday. I legged it down town on tuesday afternoon after waiting for a phone call that didnt ring and got her numerous pressies... I ended up getting her a bottle of sanatogen 50+ multi vitamins, a jar of anti wrinkle cream from boots. Thanks Lindsay - i thought it was you thats why i introduced myself!!! I got a clip frame from the poundshop - seeing as i thought id get it thrown at me when she saw the pics that i put in it, i put a load of the worst photos of her i had shrunk them down and printed them out on an A4 sheet and put happy 50th birthday diane at the top, a mug saying she'd hit a milestone birthday, a badge saying i am 50, and her proper pressie was a necklace from m&s...

We woke up the next morning in Hong Kong, Sparks was feeling much better. We were flying back home that night so we went for a quick breakfast, packed our stuff and decided to check everything in at the Kowloon Station check in. This is the brilliant thing about Hong Kong. With one of the densest populations on Earth and the need to get people from A to B quickly, the transport system is top notch.

We left our hotel at about 10am, jumped on the Airport Express shuttle bus to Kowloon Station and checked our suitcases in for our flight, it's a brilliant system, we didn't see our cases again until we arrived back in Manchester. We called at the customer service dept and left our hand luggage with them, we would collect it later....
