I'M 18! haha
well, now that that's out of the way...
Had my party last weekend (though it feels like AGES ago now) and it went well :)
Craig came down all the way from Glasgoooow and loads of my family and that were there and me, Craig, Becky and Joel all went out at night time. Was hardly a big night out and I didn't even get drunk (or even tipsy) but it was awesome non-the-less.
I wore a rather cool outfit that consisted of a PINK corset, black lacey skirt thing and a HUUUGE bow on my bum that was all black and pink lace etc. Was nicer than it sounds. There were also about 450 balloons all heliumed up and we let them all go at the end of the party (there's a video of that that I need to get off my auntie) and yeah, it was just good all 'round really.
Got SOME pics but most are at my Auntie's place so I'll try get those ASAP. In the meanwhile:

^Me pulling a pint for my dad (LEGALLY!)

^Cake and huuuuge balloons. Those balloons are still in my room though somewhat deflated. In fact they are like flat on the ceiling and looking a bit wrinkled.

^In the hotel we stayed in. Craig likes this photo and it kinda shows off the outfit a bit so I thought I'd post it :D

^looking very pink in one of Manchester's bestest gay bars.

^ Still in Churchill's. Had to give Craig his Christmas present early as he BLED all over his jacket, thus the awesome hoodie :D (it was a nose bleed btw, I didn't stab him)

^Not an excellent photo but we actually had a good time in the Kebab place so I thought the photo should really be added. I rang Mikey at like midnight for no real reason and threw some rubbish accross the room but it was alright, went well really :)
The next day I went into tourist mode and took Craig, on a tram, to Old Trafford for a tour haha. I felt a little silly tbh but he loved it so was more than worthwhile. I found out later that it would have been FREE with the season tickets but I never knew that so we had to pay. Still, was good. (And he said he'd take me to Celtic Park so y'know, worth it :D)
Not so many interesting photos as there wasn't actually a match on but here's Strettie End and Sir Matt Busby, just because.:


So yeah, that was my awesome birthday weekend.
THIS WEEKEND...
I went up to Scotland (as you do) at bloody 6:30am on Saturday (had been awake since 7am Friday might I add) and as such I ended up in bed by about 6:30pm haha. Still, had a good day. We mainly mootched around the house and did computer stuff (such as me stealing all of his music :D) before I passed out. Apparently I was saying 'Craig, how many raisens do we have?' in my sleep. How silly of me.
Spent Sunday being lazy for most of the day and then in a surprise move, Craig's mum and step dad took us out for a meal! It was very nice and I had loads of fun. Apparently I'm very English for having Yorkshire puddings and Gravey on my Carvery but shush, I AM English. We watched Saw II (we watched Saw last time I was there) and I screamed and was generally a big Jessy. For some reason we watched Saw III last night ... I never learn my lesson do I.
Went shopping yesterday too, last of my Christmas bits aaand Lunch at Solid which was a pretty cool place to be honest.
Missed my train home today but in a true act of Christmas kindness, a man from Virgin trains changed my Transpenine Express ticket to one that I could use on the next Virgin train to Manchester for no charge or anything. He even got on the train and spoke to the train manager to make sure everything was OK and that I would get home alright. I was really sad to go and only had 10mins to say goodbye. Was trying to not cry until I'd atleast got on the train and as such never got a kiss goodbye which really upset me.
Still, got home OK in the end. Actually caught up with the train I should have been on at Preston which was odd. Got on a later train and still ended up waiting around Preston train station for the one I was supposed to catch at Glasgow haha. Still, got home eventually. Faced a huge fear of mine actually and spent about 20-30mins wandering around SALFORD, in the dark, on my own, with lots of bags and no idea where I was going. Luckily I never got stabbed and I'm quite pleased with myself (though I'm not ready to tackle Moss Side just yet).
I've had a couple of amazing weekends overall and it'll be a bit crap to go back to normal now. (Well I say normal but it's Christmas etc. now so it won't be haha).
Anyway, I'll be a big softy now and just say that both of my super fab weekends had a common factor - a certain person was with me for both. Thanks a lot hun, I'm missing you already and can't wait to see you in January :) xxx
