About Me

My photo
I'm in my 30's, which to me sounds very odd. I only feel like I'm in my 20's and definitely not a grown up. I have spent the last 7 years battling with my health; firstly spending 2 years getting a diagnosis for a tumour on my pituitary gland which was causing Cushings Disease; then spending the rest of my life dealing with a pituitary gland that doesn't work. However, I have a fantastic family and an amazing boyfriend who I live with and adore - they keep me going and inspire me to try to make the most of life and my life in general.

My Hen do! How very surreal!

Last weekend I had my Hen do in Bath and it was brilliant. I had a fab time, it was kind of surreal though, I can't quite believe I was the Hen! It's been a long time coming and it felt good. It's a strange kind of right of passage really, and although you see others out celebrating their own hen do's in their own way, you don't realise how much it means to you until you do it. The best part is having all your ladies around you and just having a laugh with them - everything else is peripheral. I think some of the best bits were getting my mumsie in a cocktail bar at 5.30 in the afternoon, something she has never done before, and admitted she actually quite enjoyed! 'Oo, it's Pimm's 'o' clock!'. The evening meal was fab too, we went to The King William Pub
(www.kingwilliampub.com) where we had our own private dining room. The food was delicious and Fiance had laid on *Surprise* (shouting) champagne! Not only that, but my sisters had put sparkles everywhere, gave me a silly veil and sash to wear, and had gone to the effort of putting together pass the parcel! I genuinely couldn't have asked for more. My friends were amazing too and all made an effort to make it special. Bath is such a pretty place and its historical architecture give it real atmosphere, there is so much to do there, well worth a visit.
