Thank you!

It's midday in the UK and thank you everyone so far for your congratulations and stories! I am touched and overwhelmed by all this generosity and wonderfulness, and will have gleeful, absolutely *gleeful* hoppity delight anticipations all day in back of my mind. Because I can't read yet, I have rl friends (one of whom gave me *twenty* pairs of sock, am in foot-heaven) and am going out to lunch now and then coffee-and-cake visitors, and all day I will be thinking, 'fics to come, fics to come, later on today I will read and *wallow*).

I will try and look in again later on this evening!

But I am very happy! Thank you, thank you!!!!

So far, being 40 is very nice.
