Happy Fifth

Today is my daughter’s fifth birthday. Here’s something I wrote for her this morning.

Today is the day that you were born
My precious baby.
Today is the day that you were born.
My precious girl.

I don’t know what star I wished upon
My precious baby.
I don’t know what star I wished upon
My precious girl

But my wish has come true
My precious baby.
But my wish has come true
My precious girl.

Because now I’ve got you
My precious baby.
Because now I’ve got you.
My precious girl.

Happy Birthday, Miss T

What do you look for in the perfect checking account? The question came up in some research in the UK about what people liked and disliked. While most people liked the convenience of online banking, there were many who liked being able to reach someone when it was necessary. I have no complaints about my bank – they have been perfect in the ten years I’ve been with them, and despite a couple of wrong turns, they’ve managed to maintain a good rep.
