30th June 2015 - First Regret
It's finally the last day of the 30 day June blog!
I never really live with regrets- I truly believe everything happens for a reason. So I can honestly say I have no regrets what so ever.
Short blog today - I'm sure you'll see me again soon for a monthly challenge :)

Day Twenty-Nine - First Time In Hospital
29th June 2015 - First Time In Hospital
I found this photo a few years ago and I remember my mum explaining that this was me, when I was in hospital for the first time. Every winter as a youngster I managed to be hospitalised with a condition called croup. It is a very chesty cough and you find it so hard to breathe when you have it and are sometimes put on a nebuliser. I'm still surprised that I was never diagnosed with asthma.

Day - Twenty-Eight - First Death
28th June 2015 - First Death
I'm guessing this means the first death I remember and that would be my granddad [my dad's dad]
It happened in August 1998 when I would have been 6 years old. I don't remember everything about it but I know that he had cancer. I remember going into his hospital room the day before, which would have been his birthday, and he was very yellow and not himself, obviously the side effect of his illness.
He had received a mars bar from one of the hospital staff as a present but was unable to eat it so me and my brother had half of it each. I don't remember a lot about him, but all I know is that my dad literally looks so like him, it freaks me out.

Day Twenty-Six - First Pet
26th June 2015 - First Pet
Technically the first pet I owned was a giant rabbit called Floppy. We only owned him for 2 weeks as my mum was too scared to put him outside in case he got eaten by a fox! He now lives at my nan's old workplace and is a daddy.
I don't have any photos of him so instead here are a few of my nan's old dog Max. He passed away in 2008 when he was 10. I loved him and he loved me :)

Day Twenty-Four - First Sport
24th June 2015 - First Sport
I've never actually joined a sports class throughout my 23 years like some people do. I've never been interested in dancing, cheerleading, gymnastics - normal things that a little girl loves to do. One thing I do remember doing every weekend at my nan and granddad's house though is taking my bike around the park with my brother and younger cousins.

Day Twenty-Three - First Wish
23rd June 2015 - First Wish
I'm not entirely sure what my first wish was, but I do remember being about 3 years old and really wanting a sibling. I saw my cousins basically as sisters but I wanted one that I could keep and play with all the time. I finally got my wish a year and a half later when my baby brother came along :)

Day Twenty-Two - First Room Mate
22nd June 2015 - First Room-Mate
I'm not quite sure what to put as the answer to this, as I still live at home with my family and have never been to uni or away from my family for a long period of time. The longest I've been away from home was when I get to Egypt for 2 weeks back in July 2012, so I suppose we can call Rachel a room-mate. She's the best room-mate, she's basically a dark haired version of myself. We're very similar and she doesn't snore so that's always a bonus. Here's a few snaps of us in Egypt :)

Day Twenty-One - First Detention
21st June 2015 - First Detention
I honestly think the first detention I ever got was in high school aged about 13. I was the perfect angel any other time, I think this was because I didn't do homework or something silly. I've never been a naughty child, always quite shy and never wanting to get told off. Even now I'm still like that, do everything I'm told at work and don't like getting told off.
Below are a few snaps of me at school :)

Day Twenty - First Film You Remember Seeing
20th June 2015 - First Film You Remember Seeing
Weirdly enough I was discussing films with my friend when we went out for a meal last week and they were all saying how they loved Disney films when they were younger, but I honestly don't remember the storyline of many Disney films. So, the first film I remember seeing wasn't one of those it was...

Like any girl back in the 1990's I loved the Spice Girls. I knew the words to everyone of their songs and to be honest I probably still do. They were my favourite and I've lost track how many times I've watched their movie when I was younger.
See you tomorrow!

Day Nineteen - First Country You've Been To
19th June 2015 - First Country You've Been To
I've basically wrote about my first holiday abroad in this blog so it may be worth just reading this

Day Eighteen - First Piercing
18th June 2015 - First Piercing
You'd expect most people to say they don't remember having their first piercing as it was their ears when they were a baby. Well my first piercing was my ears but I was 13 years old! I remember when I was younger the thought of someone making a hole in my ear made me feel physically sick, I didn't care that I couldn't wear pretty earrings and I was smug that I didn't need to be told to take my earrings out in P.E.
I don't know what changed but I remember my mum asking what I wanted for my birthday as I turned into a teen but I was adamant I wanted my ears pierced and to buy some different coloured earrings. So that's what I got! Since then I've had a second hole pierced in my ear, but I don't see myself having any more piercings. Two is enough :)

Day Seventeen - First Broken Bone
17th June 2015 - First Broken Bone
Thankfully I've only ever broken one bone in my life and thankfully I don't remember it. I was around 18 months old when I broke my collar bone by falling off a kitchen counter. I'm not entirely sure how it happened but I'm sure I screamed the house down! Even now sometimes I feel a bit of a pain in my shoulder and have to stop using that particular side of my body for a while until it subsides.
I actually don't know how I haven't broken my bones in my life, I'm the most clumsy person I know. I've sprained my ankle/wrist, had plenty of falls but never broken a bone since. How lucky!

Day Sixteen - First Concert
16th June 2015 - First Concert
The first ever concert I went to was at Earls Court in December 1999 to see the spice girls! My dad's friend somehow got me backstage passes and I met the band with my nan haha!
Unfortunately we didn't own a camera back then so I have no photos with them but I vividly remember hugging Mel C and getting the courage to ask her for an autograph (she was my favourite as I was somewhat of a tomboy.)
We were pretty near the stage and I remember little 8year old me singing along to every song. I'll never forget that night and since then I've been to over 20 more concerts, I think I'll still be going to them when I'm 80!

Day Fifteen - First Thing I Did Today
15th June 2015 - First Thing I Did Today
Today was Monday morning and therefore the first thing I did when I got up was get dressed in my work uniform which is the worst material when it's muggy and my workplace loves to have the radiators turned on constantly. After that I did my hair, make up, eat my breakfast and then brush my teeth. Then off I went to work for 9 and a half hours :(
I literally can't wait to sleep tonight. It's 5.30pm when I'm writing this, I've had the day from hell and now I'm off to go for my weekly weigh in. I hope I've lost weight this week :(

Day Fourteen - First Sleepover
14th June 2015 - First Sleepover
I don't overly remember my first sleepover because the likelihood is that it was with my cousin when I was about three or something. I never really had sleepovers with school friends as my house is so small that they wouldn't even be able to fit in my bed or get a mattress and sleep on my floor. I did spend some nights at Rachel's house though, who I've known since I was about 3. I remember one night when the Olympics were on we literally stayed up until about 4am watching the motor biking [we don't even like motor biking?!] and got some good old WKD bought by one of the boys she lived near. He was about 18 and his mum actually caught him buying it for us hahhaa! We actually did manage to get drunk on it somehow although my teeth killed as it's so sweet. The bottles were thrown in the bush in the garden and we blamed it on the chavs walking along her road after a night out LOL!

Day Thirteen - First Best Friend
13th June 2015 - First Best Friend
Like a lot of children, my first best friend was my cousin Danielle, who was 15 months younger than me. We used to stay round each other's houses, even stay round my Grandparents house at weekends. Go to the park together, make up songs and dance routines pretending we were in a girl band. Unfortunately, when we became teenagers we didn't see each other as much, only on special occasions like birthdays/Christmas'.
Below are a few pictures of us throughout the years.
This was about my FIRST best friend. But I do just want to say a big happy birthday to one of my best friends now Nicole! I hope you have a fantastic birthday love you!

Day Twelve - First Ride On An Airplane
12th June 2015 - First Ride On An Airplane
My first ever holiday was in the UK, in the south west of England in Cornwall. But when I was 9 years old I went on my first ever plane journey to Portugal. I'd never been abroad before this age, so had never truly experienced anything like a "proper holiday."
We rented out an apartment for a week, owned by my dad's friend, self catering and I really enjoyed it. It had a communal pool, restaurants in the complex and a bus if you wanted to venture out.
Now as some of you may know I actually HATE flying with a passion, I don't talk until the seatbelt light fades away and we're classed as "safe" I don't know where my hate of flying comes from as my parents and little brother don't mind it at all. I remember this particular holiday though was before any of the plane hijackings took place and me and my little brother were actually invited to go into the cockpit, as my mum told the air hostesses this was our first time flying on an airplane.
I have never seen so many levers and buttons in my entire life and I can still vividly picture it all now.

Day Eleven - First Teacher
11th June 2015 - First Teacher
The first teacher I actually remember was my reception teacher Mrs Howe. Now she probably wasn't my first teacher as I was in Nursery from the age of 3, but I don't remember those ones so I thought I'd do a bit on the first one I actually remember.
Mrs Howe was a short lady, probably around the age of 55, and always had a smile on her face. I loved her that much I think I cried when I realised she'd not be my teacher forever. So you can imagine how happy I was that she was leaving reception and joining Year 1 and was going to be my teacher for another year!
I do miss being 5 years old and not having a care in the world.
See you tomorrow!
