Day 7 - Your dream wedding

This is kind of a moot point as I don't really ever want to get married. However I have always said Id love to have the dress, the day, the presents and the 2 week holiday somewhere hot at the end so for the purpose of this I'll humour you!!

I would have a white dress, very plain and strapless, and with something akin to a full length lace cardigan over it. (It honestly looks a lot nicer than Im making it sound!!) I would carry lillies and have them in the church, no matter who says they are funeral flowers I think they're gorgous. I'd like to walk down the aisle to a live string quartet playing Pachabel's Canon (ha, such a cliche for a music student!!) I would have my little brothers in cute little suits, and find some bridesmaids from somewhere!! Then we'd have a big party and a meal with all food I like, which should make for a v boring meal lol, and a chocolate fudge cake for the cake, I can't stand fruit cake!! Then I'd go on a lovely holiday somethere hot, I'd love to go to Hawaii and this seems like a perfect excuse to :) And thus is how my wedding day would roughly go!

Day 6 - A photo of an animal you'd love to keep as a pet

This is a picture of my cousins tortoise Esio (so named after the tortoise in Esio Trot by Roald Dahl). I met him while I was staying this summer, and he made me want to own a similar model!! He was awesome, and very easy to take care of, not much more bother than a fish, but much less cleaning etc than a hamster or rabbit and no walking like with a cat or a dog! I like the idea of a cat but their fur makes my nose itch!! I definitely wouldn't have a dog, but a cat could be a maybe when I have somewhere to keep it!! But a tortoise would be a definite someday :)

Day 5 - A photo of yourself two years ago

This is a picture of me 2 years ago dressed as a bat for 2 friends birthday night out. They are Annie and Bethe, so we had to dress up as something beginning with A or B, hence bat! I hate how much bigger I am here, it's actually scary!! Although at the time I was having problems with my stomach so I put a lot of weight on due to that. It's gone now. Thank God!!

Day 4 - Your favourite photograph of your best friend

This is my favourite ever photo of my best friend Lorna. We've know each other for about 9 years now and last year we went to Barbados for my Mums wedding, Lorna very kindly filling in for a missing ex!! We went snorkelling with turtles, which was amazing, and I took this photo of Lorna from the boat. It was only when we looked back at it that we realised why Lorna never took to snorkelling, note the goggles in her hand and the breathing tube round her neck!! It's a photo that never fails to make me smile and brings back awesome memories of a brilliant holiday. Love you Lou xxxx

Day 3 - Your idea of the perfect first date

Ooo this is a tricky one. I generally hate first dates, I find them awkward and absolutely no fun, and will do pretty much anything to avoid them! I much prefer getting to know someone as part of a group and then becoming something else from that. I guess therefore my idea of a perfect first date would be one that in no way was awkward or uncomfortable! If anyone ever finds one of these, let me know!!

Day 2 - A picture of something you ate today.

This is a picture of some cheesy bread. Not a picture of the actual cheesy bread I ate today, coz I ate it before I realised I needed a picture of it, but a handy image Google found for me! It was delicious, Ive been eating it for a few days now with various accompaniments after I bought it from the bread man at Lancasters Outdoor Market on Wednesday. It even came with me to physio, luckily he knew better than to ask!! Nom nom nom :)

30 Day Challenge - Day 1

So I decided to carry on with my blogging, I kind of miss it since Im not away anymore! But as nothing interesting happens in my life at the moment coz Im a third year, I thought Id steal an idea from my cousin and do a 30 day challenge! I dont know if anyone is going to read it, but I wanted to give it a go, so without further ado, here's Day 1.......

A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was:

Well this is my absolute favourite photo of me ever, and not because I particularly like how I look in it, but because of the giraffe I’m feeding! I love giraffes, and have done for years, as a gangly teenager I very much identified with the long legged thing they have going on! So when I was in upstate New York this summer we went to an animal park and not only did they have giraffes there but you could feed them!!!!! Excited isn’t even the word!! I bought several packets of crackers in preparation, and this photo was taken as one of the giraffes took it off me with its insanely long, black tongue. I will keep this photo forever; it was one of the best moments of a summer filled with lots of moments I’ll never forget!!

My day today has been much like most of my days in the past 6 weeks. I got up and went to lectures, came back to my room and read a book, not for fun but because it’s related to my course, worried that I haven’t heard back from the university I want to do my PGCE at next year, watched some TV whilst having some tea, then did some essay work, then did this! Have to say my life is boring the crap out of me at the moment; I can’t wait for third year to be over! Although I was putting some dates in my diary earlier and am mildly terrified about the lack of plans for after July 1^st when term ends.........
