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!
