Day Thirty: A Photo Of When You Were Happy

I always remember the excitement when I was from the ages of about 5 to 10 of the summer when my Nan would gather all of the cousin and we'd go to Littlehampton Beach for the day armed with our packed lunches and bucket and spade. Even though English weather isn't exactly amazing, we'd love to run into the sea as soon as we got there even though it was freezing cold.

Got to love being a little kid, how I wish I could go back all those years.

Day Twenty-Nine: A Photo Of Someone You Find Attractive

Obviously Danny from The Script is my first choice, but I've already swooned over him, so let's go for X Factor's latest winner - Ben Haenow.

He's talk, dark and handsome and that's it really.

He's also from Croydon so he could technically bump into me one day and fall in love. I can hope.

Day Twenty-Eight: A Photo Of What You Ate Today

This is the dinner that I have just cooked myself - Homemade Pizza and Homemade Chips!

The pizza base is a weight watchers pitta bread cut in half so it makes two bases. I then put tomato puree, onions, peppers, mushrooms, ham and cheese onto them and cooked in the oven. The chips are just potatoes cut up and sprayed with BBQ frylight and a bit of salt and pepper on them and they were put in the oven too. Easy peasy!

Day Twenty-Seven: A Photo Of Last Summer

This is a photo of me & Rachel at Wembley Stadium in June 2014 watching the Capital Summer time Ball. We saw acts such as Rixton, Little Mix, Rita Ora, Jessie J, Ella Henderson, Miley Cyrus, Ed Sheeran and Cheryl Cole, amongst others. Not bad for £80!

We did actually go the year before as well but we got standing tickets meaning we were standing from 2pm until 10pm! I literally couldn't walk and my feet had swollen red so I'm glad we got seated tickets this time.

It was an amazing day and hopefully we go again this year!

Day Twenty-Six: A Photo Of Your Favourite Weekend

Although this was more "a few hours" than a weekend, this is one of the best weekends ever. In December 2013 I got the chance to meet Kieron Richardson from Hollyoaks, as he threw a Christmas Party for fans that listen to his radio show. Not only did I meet the man himself, but I met friends I'd made through twitter for the first time as well. We chatted loads, took photos, played games. It was such an amazing day and also the first time I'd been to Manchester! He's as lovely in person as he is over twitter/on the phone

Day Twenty-Five: A Photo Of A Night You Loved

This is from my 21st Birthday party in November 2012 - I was a bit apprehensive about filling the hall up as I don't exactly have loads of friends - but everyone I did invite came and so did my mahussive extended family and family friends. I got thoroughly spoilt and had an amazing time. I love this photo too asit has all my best friends in it. I even had it on my Barclays Debit Card for an amount of time

Day Twenty-Four: A Photo That Your Hair Looks Nice In

As much as I love a fringe, there are certain days you want your hair out of your face, but still straight and looking nice and I came up with this hair style. Even though my face looks weird my hair looks pretty good

Day Twenty-Three: A Photo Of Your Friend As A Baby

Nicole doesn't even know I have this photo - It's stolen off of her facebook page LOL but isn't she a cutie? We didn't know each other back when we were babies - we met when we were 11 but I know that we'll still be friends whenever we have our own babies and they can grow up together

Day Twenty-Two: A Photo Of Your Town

This is a photo of my local high street - full of shops. I always find that I buy more things here than I do if I go into London more for the day. As much as people say Sutton is boring, it's not really. We have various pubs, clubs, bars, shops, cinemas, bowling, restaurants and parks for the kids.

Day Twenty-One: A Photo Of You Standing Up

This is a picture of me in August 2013 while on holiday in Mexico with my family and yep I'm standing up! I loved this holiday so much. This was taken just in front of the Spanish tapas restaurant, and it had amazing views of the beach. We were sitting watching the sunset for a long time which was beautiful. Also, I loved this dress (it's still in my wardrobe but miles too big) and the shoes matched perfectly. I want to go back to Mexico some time.

Also, my dad is 50 tomorrow - Happy Birthday old man!

Day Twenty: A Photo Of Something You Enjoy

It's quite fitting that this category is today because I love seeing my "internet friends." As I've discussed before on this blog I have friends that I have made through twitter and we've been talking everyday for almost 2 years now and today they're coming to my town [minus Hazel and Becca...:(]

I've obviously pre-written this blog but I would have picked April and Laura up from  Gatwick airport at lunchtime and met Sammy this afternoon at the train station so by the time this blog goes up we're probably in a restaurant somewhere eating the entire menu.

I honestly love spending time with these girls and because we don't see each other very often we always make the most of our time together. I'm probably going to spend a fair bit of money over the next 3 days but they're worth it. I'm going to take them to Madam Tussuards which I'm excited about and going to attempt to give them a tour of London.

Love you all!

Day Nineteen: A Photo Of A School Trip

The only school trip I remember taking pictures of was a day-trip to France when I was in High School but I have no idea where the photos are! So, even though this sports day was in the sports centre located opposite my primary school, it's still a trip because we had to travel!

I actually came 3rd in my race and got a medal - I'm not even fast!

Day Eighteen: A Photo Of One Of Your Classes

This is a photo of the girls in my Year 11 Form Group (I would have uploaded the one with the boys in too but you can't even see my face lol.) As much as I miss the fact I no longer see my friends constantly for 6 hours, 5 days a week - I'm glad I'm no longer at school. I had enough of education and just wanted to be a grown up and earn my own money.

Day Seventeen: A Drunk Photo Of You

This is a photo of me very very very intoxicated singing James Morrison's song Broken Strings into a baguette stick on Tom's 18th Birthday House Party. Yep...

I didn't eat before I went, and then drank everything while I was there. I had the first and worst hangover of my life the next morning.

Day Sixteen: A Photo Of The Last Party You Went To

Although technically the last part I went to was new years eve, I'm going to use a photo from my mums 50th birthday party at the beginning of December as tomorrows photo is of New Years Eve. So yeah, this was my mum's party that she'd been organising for the past 2 years. It was a really lovely evening, with a free bar too which is always a bonus! Mum got thoroughly spoilt and enjoyed herself surrounded by family and friends.

I felt really good in my size 10 bodycon dress aswell which makes a change. I usually hide in black trousers or a more baggy dress if I was to wear one. It was a nice change to feel really good about myself.

Day Fifteen: A Photo Of You And Someone You Love

This had to be my best friend ever since I was 3 right?! I can't believe I've put up with Rachel for 20 years! We've gone from little toddlers, to school friends, to high school friends, to fully grown adults with proper jobs who pay for our own holidays together. We talk literally every single day and share lots of the same interests and find the same things funny. She's literally a brunette me and she means so much.

Day Fourteen: A Photo Of One Of Your Favourite Family Members

This is a photo of me and my Mum last March at my cousins birthday and it's probably the only photo where we look remotely alike. I love my mum so much, we have arguments like any family members but I don't know where I'd be without her. We go shopping together every week, I accompany her when we go for the weekly food shop, we email eachother when we're at our respective jobs.

Never hold a grudge against your parents guys, you'll be lost without them.

Day Thirteen: A Photo Of Your Best Friend(s)

These are the best friends anyone can ask for and I love them all so much. I'd rather have these four girls as my close friends than having 100 friends that I hardly see. We always make the effort to meet up as much as we can - even if it's for a little meal at the Harvester. We also like to take a car selfie and it's become our tradition ha! [Toms missing from this photo but once he's back we'll make him get in the selfies too]

Day Twelve: A Photo Of You

This is me and Mr Blobby in Butlins in 2011. I tagged along for Rachel's brothers 30th Birthday Celebrations and this man passed us dressed as Mr Blobby so we had to all have our photo taken with him haha!

Day Eleven: A Photo Of Your Favourite Film

Most people would say their favourite film is Grease or Titanic - but mine is a romantic comedy called 50 first dates. I think Adam  Sandler and Drew Barrymore are great actors anyway but I love the plot of the film. Drew's character was involved in a road accident when she was younger, causing her memory loss and she wakes up everyday thinking it is that morning all over again. This film shows that even though the relationship may be hard, and challenging never give up if you really love somebody. It's a great message to get across

Day Ten: A Photo Of You As A Baby

This is a photo of me & the first dog of my Nan's that I remember - A Black Alsation called Sheba. I have a few vague memories of her as she died when I was about 3 or 4. I've always been told she had a calm temperament - all of my Nan's dogs have actually, so it's obviously to do with how they are bought up. I must have been in love with dog's as young as this as I'm just staring at the dog LOL

Day Eight: A Photo Of Your Favourite Musician/Band

I have a few favourite bands and musicians but The Script has to be my overall favourite. Hand on heart, I love every single one of their songs and Danny's voice moves me every single time. The Script are one of the few concerts I would go to over and over again.  Which is handy, seen as I'm going to my 3rd one next month! I also love Danny's face - who doesn't?

Day Seven: A Photo Of Somebody You Love

Even though this says "somebody" I'm going to count this as my Nan's dog - Chelsea. She's almost seven now and I have no idea where that time has gone. She was a cute little ball of fluff when my nan first got her aged 9 weeks and now she's a fully grown dog. I've always been a lover of dogs, and love to cosy up to them and teach them tricks. I was the one who taught Chelsea to give her paw before she receives a treat. She's such a loving dog, a protector and loves to lay over your feet and keep them warm LOL

Day Six: A Photo That Makes You Laugh

I'm even laughing right now looking at this photo. This is me and my cousins English bulldog on New Years Eve 2013, and yes I was drunk. I do not remember taking this photo at all - it's one of those you find when you wake up in the morning very hungover. My friends constantly randomly send me this photo just to take the piss and laugh along with me. I love dogs.

Day Five: A Photo Of You

This is a photo of me in Mexico in August 2013 where I completed a task that I've always wanted to - swim with dolphins. Even though it was raining and the water was freezing cold it's something I'll always remember and cherish. Dolphins are such clever animals and understood all the signals that I was taught before hand.I loved this holiday, and this is one of the many reasons it was so good.

Day Four: A Photo Of The Last Place You Went On Holiday

This is a photograph of Tom, Nicole and myself on holiday in Turkey last July next to a pretty tree. This photo makes me laugh every time I look at it because it reminds me of the man who took it. Tom asked him if he'd take a photo of all three of us together but the man said "yes" and then proceeded to jump into the photo with me and Nicole instead. It was a lovely holiday, full of sun and laughs with two of my best friends. We actually all look okay in it as well - usually at least one person in a group photo ruins it LOL.

I look forward to more holidays in the future with my best friends full of much nicer cocktails! 

:D

Day Three: A Photo That Makes You Happy

Now I know I may look really vain posting this and that quite a lot of people would put photos of friends/family/pets in this post but this photo honestly really does make me happy. In the last year and a half I've lost just over 2 stone in weight and actually gained myself some stomach muscles and every time I look at this comparison photo it makes me smile. I've hated myself for quite some time now and as much as people tell you that you shouldn't hate yourself I really did. Every time I looked at myself in the mirror it made me feel sick to see what was staring back at me.

This photo is also my motivation, if I ever have a bad week of eating crap food I just look at this and ask myself if I want to be the person on the left or right and it motivates me all over again. I really AM proud of myself, and even though I'm not at the weight I want to be yet I know I'm really close and it will happen sometime soon.

:D
