Usually I don’t like my birthday that much or do anything for it but this year my birthday has been almost perfect and I definitely did quite a bit for it. I changed it from a birthday into a birthweek though, from friday 2nd sep till friday 9th, in order to fit everything in. It was my 21st after all.
Friday 2nd September:
To start off my birthday week I saw The Hoosiers at mk11 with a guy that I kind of have a little crush on (Don’t tell him that, okay?). It was an amazing night. Crowded places sometimes freak me out but having him right there behind me made me feel somewhat calm and I really enjoyed the night. I loved being able to sing along with lots of strangers to some good music and not have a care in the world.
Saturday 3rd September:
It was pouring down with rain on this day but I had a bbq planned for weeks, maybe even months, so the weather was not changing anything! All my close family came over and there was a lot of alcohol and food to go around so it was pretty amazing. I must admit though, there was a couple people who I invited who couldn’t make it which made me a little sad when they said they weren’t coming but the party went on without them and I didn’t really miss them in the end anyways. My brother annoyed me for 90% of the evening but that’s normal for when we’re together, my sister forced me to open my birthday presents right there and then despite it not being my birthday till the 5th, and everyone was gone by half ten and I was in bed by 11 because I was still tired from the night before. So a pretty fab get together to be fair.
Sunday 4th September:
What makes sunday great? A roast dinner!! So me, my mum, dad and big brother went out for a lovely carvery the day before my birthday. It was a last minute thing and my sister had to work so missed out. I nearly died by choking on air though and I’m surprised I don’t have a bruise on my back from how hard my brother whacked me but the food was good and that’s all that really matters.

Monday 5th September

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Officially 21 at 7:05pm today. Another year older but only on the outside. I didn’t do anything really on my actually birthday day.. didn’t even open my cards or presents until half three in the afternoon. It was just like a normal day really apart from loads of people who I haven’t talked to in ages writing on my facebook wall.
Tuesday 6th September:
Birthday meal with the girls, Hannah, Jojo and Ally, at Las Iguanas. I’ll let you all in on a secret.. I prefer the cocktails there rather than the food but sweet potato fries are one of my new favourite things. This was a really good night. Me and Ally are starting to build our friendship up again after a few things happened back at uni last year and this was a lovely chance to do that and I’m really glad that she came as otherwise it would of been the first birthday in years that she wasn’t with me for. Hannah brought me balloons which I could of killed her for because they were annoying but they look great in my room now. Also, they made me take photos alone with the balloons outside the restaurant.. HOW EMBARRASSING!
Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th September:
Me and Jojo went to Brighton, one of my favourite places, for 2 nights. We explored the lanes which I LOVE, went on the 360 airways, and did all the seaside stuff that you do when you’re away. The weather was lovely while we were there and Jojo got a lot of good photos. She loves taking photos for Instagram aha. I miss it there already and need to go back asap so if anyone is offering.. LETS GO!
Friday 9th September:

Traveled back from Brighton and spent the evening watching zombie films with the same guy I started my birthday week with. Started and finished with the same company, I think that’s kind of a perfect touch to be honest, as I love spending time with him.
…
In conclusion, my 21st has been a pretty good one and I’m going to have to up my game if I want to do better for any following birthdays to come. Also, even though i’m meant to be like a proper grown up now, I still feel like i’m too young to be doing actual grown up stuff. So, yes, you will probably still find me hanging out with my godson rather than doing something I should be doing.

Happy 21st to me..
