BIRTHDAYS are double the fun at one household on Valley Court, Padgate, for mum-of-two Carrianne Jones.

For when August 19 comes around, the house is guaranteed to be full of birthday cards and balloons for 11-year-old Jodie and one year old Keegan.

By a complete fluke the tots were born on the same day 10 years apart.

And now that her baby brother Keegan celebrated his first birthday last week, Jodie can be assured that her presents won't dwindle since she has to share her birthday.

Jodie said: "I love my little brother and I was really excited when he was born on my birthday. I got the same amount of presents that I usually get so it was okay."

Proud mum Carrianne said: "They're both really good kids, I'm very lucky.

"It was a pure coincidence they were born on the same day.

"Birthdays will always be very busy from now on."
