18th!

I thought probably the first thing that I have enough to write about is my 18th birthday! My birthday is June 13th, so it wasn't that long ago and I had the best time I could possibly ever imagine.

I've finished school now, so I've got holidays but my family still have to go to work/school, nevertheless, they woke me up early to make me scrambled eggs & smoked salmon & to watch me open my presents.

This is some of what I got:

• Money from my parents, grandparents & Aunty Kay
• Jack Wills English Velvet perfume from my sister
• A joke present - a Jack Wills water bottle from my dogs 'cause I always steal Caoimhe's
• A pearl necklace and matching earrings from my parents
• Thornton's chocolate, a butterfly link bracelet and a Waterstone's card from the Bloomfields 
• A beautiful heart pendant from the Powells
• A flower crown & lipgloss from Rhiannon (Rhiannonbritten)
• Body Shop Atlas Mountain Rose perfume & body lotion from my wonderful friend of 14 years, Eleanor
• A new Cath Kidston bag from the wonderful Nadia, Mel & Shana who drove up to my house to surprise me - it was a replacement for my old bag which was breaking
• Finally, a surprise arrival today, a Cambridge Satchel Company Batchel in Vintage Brown (15'') from my grandparents for when I go to uni!

Seeing as this is a pretty big landmark birthday for any teenager, my parents invited my English grandparents and my Aunty Puddy down to celebrate - which meant I got to stuff my face with the most gigantic Sunday roast you could ever imagine! Last weekend, when all the exams were over, I had some of my girls round for a meal, which turned out to be an inside BBQ 'cause the weather sucked, but we still had a lovely time! Mostly meaning that I fed Mel triple her bodyweight, got singled out in embarrassing games of Truth Or Dare (minus the dare) & drank quite a bit of Pimms (if you haven't tried it, I recommend you find the limited edition blackberry & elderflower flavour quick!) which made it feel like summer.
