Feeling like i'm 22

Everything will be alright, if we just keep dancing like were 22

Got to love when birthdays come around! They are of course one of my favourite times of the year other than Christmas and Halloween of course!!

As my birthday fell on a Tuesday this year it kind of restricted of what I could do for party ideas or meals out.

So my mum the whole week before kept saying we've got a surprise for you! As much as I love surprises I'm the type of person that likes to know times and plans on a day as it sets off my anxiety so I generally like to be planned at least a week in advanced which some people find absolutely crazy!  But there's nothing wrong with being organised! I even set out of side cabinet to be able to have my things set out all neat just in case I needed them!

 

So the day of my birthday finally arrived and annoyingly I went to bed early the night before and stupidly woke up at 3 in the morning, which I must say was not the best idea in the world! But luckily I managed to fall back to sleep and woke up around 8 ish! That's a bonus to me!!

Downstairs I went to find all my birthday cards and presents and even a massive bunch on flowers on the dining room table. That was my first surprise:

Got to admit it must be our tradition in our family to leave the price sticker on the back of the cards! So I thought I'd quickly give mum one more chances to tell me what she had planned but nope she would not say anything! So I opened to card to find this!!!!

I was so amazed and happy because I haven't had a proper massage in a long time and with my shoulders,I SOOO needed one! First of all I needed to get my nails re done as they were looking worse for wears so I went down to a nail salon down town and got them re done and painted into a nude colour which was

I choose this O.P.I colour as have never had O.P.I product before but thought I'm not one to have bright colours so when i saw this Barefoot Barcelona colour I fell in love straight away!

We then went onto the Bannatyne spa in Hastings we checked our self's in and grab the bags they give out to get into our swimming costumes to hit the pool and do a few lengths and sit in the hot tub! Definitely good chance to get a quick selfie in the bathrobes.

We done our swimming and relaxing and it was about an hour to our massage so we thought we might as well get something to eat which ended up being afternoon cream tea which includes a scone, jam, butter, clotted cream and a big pot of tea. You can't go wrong with a good scone and strawberry jam!

You must say the slippers are just the sexiest things in the world :P

We then came home and my auntie and my little cousins came round and we celebrate with a KFC birthday meal which I must say made a big difference to going out when I could just sit at home in my pj's not having to worry about how I looked to go out for the meal.

These girls of course made my night even better that's for sure! Hearing them run into the front room shouting "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEMA!!"

So my birthday went past and I planned a night out with my 2 best friends to go bowling in Eastbourne David Lloyd centre! I must say for a Saturday night out it wasn't expensive at all! We played 4 games in total and all 3 of us won at least 1 game but Hollie won the last game and got the highest score of the night which was 124! Go Hollie!!!

Here's a few pictures of the night:

 <-- This whole plate of food only cost us £11.95 BARGIN!!

So over the night we managed to get through 2 bottles of rose wine and 4 games of bowling and walked quite straight to the train station but the night was amazing! So thank you girls for coming and making it an amazing 22nd birthday for me!

Hope when every your birthday is you guys have a fantastic day too!!

Will post another blog soon!

Much love
