On the 2nd August I turned 18. Yep, I am now legally an adult here in the UK! I'm not sure about other places/cultures but here it is considered one of the 'big' birthdays so I was very excited bout it and got vey spoilt by my friends and family. Please understand that I am not bragging or anything, simply sharing to give others ideas or simply because they want to be nosey, personally I love these sorts of posts so I'm happy I finally get to make one!
What I got up to:
I woke up and opened my presents with my mum and step dad, with my dog Bonnie helping me, she loves wrapping paper! I then went to the nearest city to me with mum and auntie and done some shopping in primark and lush (next week I will be posting a collective haul so keep a look out!). The sales assistant was so lovely, I purchases my bath bomb and when she saw it was my birthday she ran out from behind the counter and gave me a bath bomb for free, thank you lush! We then went for a light lunch at Frankie and Bennys where I had my first legal drink- an orange flavoured cocktail weirdly called 'fuzzy navel' ew, but it tasted great. I had a caprese salad which was a fancy name for a tomato and mozzarella salad which was nice, although I couldn't finish it. Our lovely waitress saw it was my birthday from the huge bag my mum forced me to wear and so the restaurant was blasted with 'the happy birthday song' as they brought out a slice of chocolate cake for me with cream spelling out '18'- free of charge! It was so kind of the restaurant and I'm very grateful, I was so embarrassed though that I forgot to take a photo! I then went home and had family time and everyone loved the huge pink and sparkly birthday cake I made. I then went to another restaurant that is local to me with some friends and had dinner (medium-rare steak, mash and beans mmm) and drinks (shots and cocktails!). I felt fine, but the next day I did have a bit of a hangover. Oops! I don't think I stopped smiling the whole time, I truly had the mot wonderful day!
What I got:
I mainly got money off my family but I am not going to share the amount as like I said, I'm not bragging or anything so I think it's unnecessary to share. I had already had my present from my nanny a few months ago, my holiday to Barbados, it was such an incredible place. My main presents were from my mum and step dad which I did not photograph but were a new (secondhand) laptop and a new Samsung galaxy S5 phone in white.
I have photographed everything else I got so here we go!
