My Nan's Birthday Meal.

It's my Nan's 70th birthday today, and I can honestly say she looks great for a 70 year old.

I would show you a picture but I don't know whether she would appreciate me doing that...so I won't.

Yesterday, my mum's side of the family went out to dinner to celebrate Nan turning 70.

Me, my parents and my siblings attended. My uncle and auntie and my cousins attended. My other uncle and his girlfriend attended. And of course, my grandparents attended.

We went to a beefeater restaurant called the Malta Inn, which is in Maidstone.  We've been there before for some family meals and we have never had a problem with the place. And this time we still didn't have any problems. The waitress that served us was very friendly, and was very grateful for the tip we gave her. Or I should say my grandad and my dad gave her.

I played it safe and had some garlic bread for starter, I had rump steak for main meal, for dessert I had a rocky road sundae and for drink I had some WKD. I am allowed it. I'm 16 - 17 in a week - and there were adults there. I was allowed a glass of WKD. Blue WKD to be specific.

For my Grandads 70th Birthday last year, we went out for a meal and gave him a little book full of memories and pictures. Me, the siblings and the cousins wrote little memories of Grandad over the years and add them to the book. Well we did a similar thing for Nan this year. Instead of giving her a memory book, we gave her a memory box. My Auntie had us all write little memories of Nan over the years and she placed them in the box along with a few photos.

I thought it was a great idea to do a memory box or a memory book for people on their birthday as it isn't expensive to do if you do it yourself, and also it's nice to reminisce on old memories.

This little idea made me realise how many amazing memories we have all had together. It's always great to laugh back on old memories with friends, but personally, I think it's better to laugh back on old memories with family.

I had a great time at the meal.

Still stuffed after the great food that I consumed.

I hope that my friends/family make me a memory book or box for my 70th birthday.

I would be internally grateful if they did.

But I've got a while to go yet.

Games Night.

I love playing games. 

Whether it be board games, computer games, electronic games, thinking games, physical games etc.

I love them all. 

During the weekend I attended a games night hosted by brother. A bunch of friends turned up and it was great to catch up and just have fun with them. I played Dobble - which is an awesome card game that involves a lot of thinking - Mario Kart Wii - I win all the time except when I play with my brother - Twister - my bones suffered - Table Tennis and Charades. Oh, and there was also food. Can't forget that!

What was the best part about the games night?
Well, to be honest, I think the company. I loved playing the games and having fun, but the parts that I enjoyed the most was the socializing with people I hadn't seen in ages.
Everyone had someone to talk to or play a game with. No one was on their own. Me and my two friends ended up sitting down by the food - not intentional - after playing some games and just talked for the rest of the night. We talked about what we had been up to, how each of us were, and everything else girls talk about.
It was nice just to look around and see everyone either socializing through playing a game or socializing through actual talking.

I didn't get many pictures from the games night but I did happen to get this one of me and my friend Micaiah taking bathroom selfies. I'm on the right and Micaiah is on the left.

Don't judge. We weren't being serious. My hand also looks demented. Oh well.

I enjoyed the games night, and I think everyone else did too.
It was nice to catch up on how everyone was and what they had been doing.
I hope to attend more events like this one.

Spring Holidays.

Today was the first day of freedom.

Well, the first day of the spring holidays over here in England.

 

Yesterday morning at school the sixth formers were told that we didn't have to come into school. The only people that did were the ones that had an assessment or the ones who had to hand in coursework. I was lucky. I didn't have to go in. The rest of the school had to go in, except for us sixth formers. Oh, how I love being in the sixth form.

 

So, how did I spend my first day of the spring holidays?

Well, I did what any normal teenager would do. Have a lie in. Firstly I woke up at 10 to 8 but then I went back to bed and woke up at half past 8. Not the longest lie in, but still a lie in nevertheless, considering I usually wake up at 7. Then I got up, had breakfast and watched 'The Little Mermaid 2'. Yes, I know, it's a great film. Once the film was over I got ready for the day and walked to the shops with my Mother. We had some mother-daughter bonding time. I wanted to buy a few things for my birthday. Well I wanted my mum to buy a few things that she could give me on my birthday as presents. Basically we were buying my birthday presents from my parents. Then when we got back I just watched some TV and did some Media work. Oh, and I started this blog.

 

Spring break in America is completely different to the Spring holidays here in England. The stereotypical Spring break in America is going to the beach, attending a lot of parties, possibly getting drunk, hooking up with boys etc. Whereas the realistic Spring holidays in England is going to bed early, going to the beach in long shorts and a jacket, catching up on TV and also doing homework. You can never get away from school can you? My Spring holiday is quite packed actually, but I assure you I will definitely have some days when I just lounge around in my Pyjamas and do nothing. Hopefully on those days I can write a few blog posts and upload them.

 

I'd say my first day of freedom, uh I mean first day of my spring holidays, has been a very successful and productive day. Lets hope everyday can be as a productive as this one. It probably won't be, but we'll wait and see.

Hello.

Hi, I'm Becca and this is my blog...obviously.

I'm 16 years old but I'm turning 17 in 10 days.

I'm starting this blog because I just want a place where I can rant, moan and tell little stories without having to worry about people listening or not. This is just my own little place where I can express myself without getting criticized or judged.

I'm basically going to be posting random things onto this blog for my own enjoyment, and if other people enjoy it then great.

Ok.

Well..

I'm going to go.

See you in my next post.

Bye.
