Rave :)

This evening, my mum and I are driving up to see my friend, Cydonie. It is her 18th birthday and we haven’t seen each other for about 2 years so it should be a nice break. She wants it to be a bit of a “rave” theme, so wants everyone wearing bright colours. This stumped me but I think I’m going to wear my neon green vest top with shorts and coloured tights. I will try to find a bright hair accessory as well, just to jazz things up a bit. I found some glow stick the other day so I will try to dig those out again today :) It will be fun trying to wash my hair in the kitchen sink this afternoon lol!
Bought her a present and made a card (which I will post a picture of after I have given it to her!)

Street Party!

 

[Or as we Essex supposedly call it, “partaayyyy!”]

Just came back from my street party. I wasn’t too sure what to expect, thinking I would probably stay about half an hour and that would be about it. I stayed pretty much for the duration – 2.30-6.30 :)  I was pleasantly surprised by the turnout, I mean I have live in my street for 18 years and never really met anyone but it was a really friendly atmosphere. The woman who organised it dressed up as Kate, from the dress right down to the mask perched lightly on her head! We played games like egg and spoon races and three-legged race (I lost miserably but it was still great fun!)

I also found out that I quite like Pimms. I only knew 1 person when I arrived but they introduced me to their friends who came with a bottle of Pimms. We got through 2 bottles lol, which is quite a lot considering you dilute the stuff! Had a great day, so thanks to William and Kate for the bank holiday :) I really enjoyed it!

Now we know  each other a bit better, we are hoping we could have a Jubilee party next year! Woo!!!

My 18th!

Last night was the big day. My 18th Birthday party :) The cake arrived at my house at around 11, it was beautiful! The only thing I was worried about was getting it to the hall without damaging it, but we managed and it looked lovely:

I was really glad that my friends from Preston could come, it took them 7 hours but they made it, and I think they enjoyed it. Although I think they may have felt a bit awkward not knowing people; I loved having them there though. I got chance to meet Louise, my friend's girlfriend, and she seemed lovely-hopefully we will keep in contact a bit.

I had such a mixture of people there but it was great because everyone seemed to get on well with each other. My "childminder" from when I was little [she looked after me from when I was 10 weeks old until I went to secondary school, so she calls herself Mummy Rebecca lol!] and her family came for an hour or so with the idea that they could take lots of photos and put an album together for me, which was nice. I think they got some good pictures, hopefully they got a nice one of me and Chris :)
That's another thing, he met all my friends and family last night - apart from my aunt because she was working - and everyone seemed to really like him which is great- I can't think of anything worse than a family not liking you boyfriend! Even my Grandparents seemed to like him so that's really good, although as my mum and dad have said many-a-time, "What's not to like?!" haha.




I have had lots of really nice presents from various people, so once I have caught up with all of the half term homework which I haven't had time to do, I will write out loads of Thankyou's for everyone who came :)


I'm really glad it all went well, though with the amount of organisation needed I don't think I'm gonna try and pull off something like that again for a while! x
