I am now 21.... how rubbish!


Like Katie, the Murder Mystery night kinda 'kicked off' my celebrations. I then waited a hole week for the rest of the festivities to begin. I awoke on Friday 11th January feeling a mixture of excitement and trepidation- I was no longer twen-teen and therefore now an adult. How crap.

However, my little brother Ryan came into my room and sang Happy Birthday to me at 7:45am (want sure whether to say thanks or throttle the kid for waking me).. i then got given a few prezzies from my mum and dad. Next, i received a phone call at 9am telling me David was on his way over. When he arrived i opened a couple of bits- a book, A NEIGHBOURS DVD (very exciting) a scarfy etc. I then opened a lovely silver bracelet, i then got matching earrings from his parents. My last prezzie was a floppy bit of paper- A VOUCHER!













It reads:
This voucher entitles: Stacey Edwards
To a weekend in London. The weekend will include 2 nights at The Tower Hotel (English Breakfast inc), an evening meal at the 'Stock Pot' and another at an unspecified restaurant, a Saturday evening trip to the theatre, a ride upon the London Eye and a visit to the Tate Modern.
.....................VERY FUN!!

So i was told to pack my bags and within an hour i was whisked off to London. When we arrived we were greated by a rather amazing view:

And just to prove that this was indeed the view, we took a few pictures.... we are not super imposed- i would have chosen a better picture of me had that been the case!!
















Sadly the London eye was having its annual maintenance service done over the weekend; which we found out after half a day of trying to get to Waterloo midst a shutdown of the circle, district and Hammersmith and city line (our hotel was at tower hill, so this wasn't great!) But all this aside, it was a LOVELY weekend, and as Katie mentioned, we bumped into her in Leicester Square. David must have photographic memory, as its him who spyed her after them only meeting once! I had been totally engulfed in the painstaking task to decide which show to see! We (clearly i mean I) opted for The Sound of Music. The only downfall was that David insisted i could not sing along. Instead, i mouthed the words just to prove to myself (and David) that i knew all the words just as well as Connie did.... we have all done it at some point so don't think any less of me!

On my return home, i hurriedly put streamers around the house, and waited for people to turn up! Sadly, lots of people had gone to uni but to everyone who made it, Thank You!
We played games- with Anna and Paul winning pass the parcel, and Katie and Claire winning 'the train game'. There was also a pick n mix section, chocolate fountain, and party bags. I am very pleased that people liked the playdough- its safe to say that i begrudgingly gave it away! I think we should also note the importance of this moment........also the fact that my mates boyfriend turned out the manically petrified of my cat helped make John look extra brave!!


I have begun the brain-taxing task of reading The Adventures of The Queen Mum by Harry Hill and painted a rather brilliant moo-cow money box. I made the mistake of writing 'Penny's' along the side, which now makes it look like it dosnt belong to me, but i can just turn him around if anybody named Penny attempts to claim ownership of him and his contents. I have also set up my sea monkeys... an awsome idea in my head, but since the eggs have hatched i am actually kinda freaked out by the little things...they look slightly unsavoury for my liking!! However they are in a very funky 'underwater castle' so they are staying!!


Do you think i look any older?!


Thats my birthday update over then. I am 21. If i am asked for ID when i next go and see a 15 film i think i'll scream.

I LOVED the train game!!! I'm so gonna make up a version of that and play it at school.

And WHEN are we gymming it up next?! We need to get some kind of routine going. Although the week after next is my half term, so we could go to the regular gym whenever you like! :-D

And she's all grown up...

It was a great night - but that has to be the weirdest photo of me.

(I was brave, however!)

Glad you had a good time!! :)
