POINT #8 - pass my driving test first time

It is safe to say I was so chuffed with achieving this point! I was worried about my driving test because it was so soon after I came back from holiday, but I really had nothing to worry about, as going on holiday gave me time to read the highway code through, revise my show me tell me questions, and on the long journey up there I got to watch how an experienced driver would react to things etc.
I had my test at 10:14, and had the same examiner who passed my friend (and he had the same name as my dad!), which was quite cool. I had the driving route which I happened to struggle with the whole time I was learning (it has a huuuuge double roundabout) but I managed it and passed with seven minors, which is quite a few minors but they were just silly things I forgot to do due to nerves!
It's weird driving around by myself in Penny (that's the name of my car, if you couldn't guess! 1998 1.4 volkswagen polo open air, such a lovely car, expensive to insure for me though!), and not seeing my instructor any more but some of my friends are learning with him now which makes me happy :o)

POINT #143 - Have a subway

Ben added this point for me when I first made my bucket list, and I always said I'd never have a subway... and then the day we got back from our holiday in Cornwall, me and Ben took a walk down the beach and he wanted a subway, and I was hungry, so we went and he bought me a subway. I had chicken breast, lettuce (to be healthy ;) and tomato sauce... and though I thought I wouldn't like it... I absolutely loved it! I have had multiple subway's since then, and I'm even getting hungry thinking about it right now... mmmmm.

POINT #7 - go on holiday with benjy's famalam!

So, on 11th until 18th August, I went on holiday with my boyfriend's family to Cornwall, to somewhere called Mabe, near Falmouth! I had such a lovely time, and was treated as one of the family! The only thing that ruined the week was that it rained constantly and was quite cold so never got to wear my lovely summery shorts/playsuits/dress, and unfortunately we decided to leave a day early because of the weather, so we actually got back the early hours of the morning on the 18th. We ended up going to 'Lizard point', Newquay aquarium, a little cove thing that did lovely hot chocolates, and we visited Landsend :) we also had one of the traditional Landsend photos taken but it was a very windy day, so we all have hair in our faces!

POINT #205 - Ride on dad's Buell!

(For those who are wondering: a Buell is a type of motorbike!)

This one has quite an interesting story to it! So basically I had planned to go to the cinema with a group of friends to see The Amazing Spiderman on this day, and I had things to do beforehand so couldn't get the train up with the rest of them- so instead, me and my dad planned to go on a driving lesson in my car, and I drop myself off where I need to be. However, my car almost broke down as we were on the sliproad to get onto the dual carriageway, and we knew my car would not make it to the destination so we went back home, and the only way to get there on time would have been by one of dad's motorbikes, as it was rush hour at the time...

So I went on dad's buell. And I loved it. I hate to admit it, but I liked it more than the triumph (even though that's still my favourite motorbike out of my dad's collection!)

I didn't even want to get off the thing! haha!

I can thank perseverance for this one!

POINT #5 - Quit majorettes

I've been stressed from the demands of sixth form recently and not coping very well, and I decided that this was for the best... It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do since I'd been there for seven years, but I'm glad I've done it now.

Hopefully I can still go to support at competitions and stuff, I don't want to block it out of my life completely!
