POINT #10 - sort my confidence out/stop being critical of myself

Well hello there (it's been a while!) 

I'm very happy to say that I feel that point #10 can officially crossed off!

I had a lot of confidence issues while I was at high school and sixth form... Mainly year 11-13 when there were a lot of bitchy girls who would constantly bring me down. I left sixth form nine months ago now, and I can happily say that I have been the happiest ever since I left. I'm now an apprentice photographer at a leading Suffolk portrait studio, I have learnt so much and my life and career are  coming along so nicely!! I am surrounded by absolutely amazing friends, family and my boyfriend now, and though there are people that have passed that I would love to still have them here, they are still living on in my heart and I feel them watching over me every day.

Cheesey post over ;-) thank you to everyone who has helped me fix my life!

POINT #209 - Go to London on a train

So when September came, a lot of my friends moved to places all over the country to go to university. Rhianna moved to the University of Greenwich in London, which wasn't too far from my sister who had recently moved to Herne Hill, as she got a job in London (yesss she's finally back in the UK!). I had a look on the national rail website to find that I could get a return from here to London Stratford for just £16, so I went up (or down, I should say) after work on the 8th November and booked Monday 11th off so I could come back about lunchtime. It was a fantastic weekend and I got to stay with Rhianna for the first two nights, I met most of her flatmates, we went sightseeing AND I WENT TO THE DISNEY STORE. HURRAHHH. I then stayed with my sister on the Sunday, met her lovely flatmate Vilo, went to work with her for the morning and met who she works with. I absolutely loved it and I love London! Below are some photos me and Rhi took while sightseeing... :-)

POINT #62 - Go go karting

I FINALLY WENT GO KARTING! OHH YESSS. And the most amazing thing of all? It proved to me that I do indeed take after my dad...
I got third best time and beat a lot of the guys!!
We went for Ben, "Catters" and Nathan's 19th birthdays, and though it was expensive, I had an absolute ball!

I think I was the only person who really cared haha! Catters got second and Ben got first :-)

POINT #190 - Kiss underwater

When me and Ben went on a holiday to Zante for a week we thought we'd try kissing underwater! Indeed we did, and it was very interesting... we even took a picture on our disposable underwater camera!

Not the best quality photo and we look quite odd but well, we were underwater... hahaha

POINT #127 - take Benjamina abroad via plane

For my 18th birthday, my amazing sister Kayleigh paid for me and Ben to fly over to Luxembourg and stay with her and her boyfriend Mike for the weekend! It was a brilliant weekend and I'm glad to say that I've been to the tiny tiny country of "Luxemboogie" as my sister called it. We also briefly spent five minutes in Germany while we were there so I can officially say I've been to two more countries!

Kayleigh also took us to the coolest bar I've ever been to called "The Lab"- they make awesome cocktails in science beakers... they also bubble and produce smoke (easily amused)!! Other things we did was visit Vianden castle and explored where my sister lives. Pictures of our weekend are below :-)

COMPLETED ON: Friday, 5th April, at approximately 16:10 local time.

POINT #163 - Take part in Earth Hour

To help save the planet a little bit, I decided to take part in WWF's Earth Hour 2013 :) it was really fun to do, but you don't realise how much you rely on lights when you're just simply walking around the house until you're without them! I feel proud that I took part this year (I wanted to last year but I forgot about it) and I will be taking part as many years as possible now :)

Update!

Just wanted to share my excitement to my non-existent readers of my blog... Benjy and I booked a holiday last month! We're going to Kalamaki in Zante, for a week, just the two of us, at the beginning of July... which means I'll definitely be completing point #127 - take Benjamina abroad via plane and point #190 - kiss underwater! I'm so excited, it's been way too long since I felt the Greek heat! and eaten a pita gyros... mmmmmm, my mouth is watering at the thought!
We're also going to formula one qualifying at Silverstone on 29th June for Benjy's birthday (which was back in November, it was one of his birthday presents from me) and might be going go karting for my birthday next month, which means that point #62 - go go karting will be completed too :)
I have such an exciting year coming up! My 18th birthday, year 13 prom, leaving school for good, Zante and qualifying, starting my apprenticeship, reeeally long summer... ahhh I just can't wait :')
