I turned 25 last Friday, I think it was one of the best birthdays I’ve had in years.
A busy, busy day at work, but all my wonderful work friends made it lovely! Bacon Roll breakfast, happy birthday sung to me, beautiful tea pot and cake stand and card from all my colleagues. Home to the flatmates cooking me steak pie and apple pie for dinner. Just perfect! Then a drink or two in the pub with friends who were visiting from London for the weekend.
My 24th, a nice day in work with a birthday lunch and cake from my two colleagues and lots of pretty wee presents. Followed by a Burns Supper and ceilidh in the evening at work. I was a school dinner lady for the night, and spent a lot of time explaining to International Students what Neeps were.
My 23rd, out for dinner and cocktails with a friend in the Social, but spent the whole night trying to figure out why the boy in my life at the time was so rubbish.
My 22nd, up North for a quiet day with the family. Out for lunch in the Morangie and then home for a nice home made cake.
My 21st, a big party with all my friends and family there. It was such a good night, and I was totally overwhelmed by all the presents I got. People were far too good to me.
My 20th, friends came down from up North and we took one of them to get a tattoo. Dinner in China Buffet King, drinks in Driftwood and dancing in the Garage. A good proper studenty birthday!
My 19th, spent being so ill I ended up in hospital (Gastroenteritis for those who may be interested). The rest of the day was spent trying to sleep on the sofabed in the livingroom while workmen fixed our smashed bedroom window.
My 18th, a birthday party up North with my family and friends, and some of my new Uni friends travelled up for it too.
My 17th, out for dinner in the Eagle, and then sneaking into some of the pubs for a few underage drinks!
My 16th, dinner and a sleepover with my school friends.
And that’s as far back as I can go.
All in all though, this year was definitely a high, nice and low key. Not finished yet though, got a long-weekend in North Berwick next weekend to look forward to!
