Birthday Celebrations!

Heeeeellooo everybody!

Haven't blogged in a while :/ I know! How naughty am I! 
I have had a fabulous couple of weeks! 
I have been off work,enjoying some "chill" time,it has been lovely,catching up with friends and family,relaxing,enjoying lie-ins,few cheeky glasses of vino (on a school night!) 

I celebrated my 24th birthday the weekend just gone.
I had a wonderful weekend,I decided on having a birthday BBQ on the Saturday,I invited friends and family and we all had a great time,lots of yummy food,laughter and fun! 
I got very spoilt for my birthday! I received lots of fabulous gifts :) I'll show you a few:

Dan bought me 4 Angel Fish,I think they are very pretty and have a lovely unique shape. I have wanted Angel Fish for our tank for a while but Dan has never really took a liking to them. So he bought them home for me to enjoy. He now quite likes them himself! :) 



Dan also bought me some Guylian chocolates,they are my absolute favourite! 


I got bought 4 butterfly scarfs,all from different people! It is lovely that they are all different colours and styles,and they have butterflies on! They are beautiful! Can't wait to wear them as the weather gets a bit chillier. 


My dad and his partner,Teri bought me these beautiful roses. 

I also got perfume,socks,money,vouchers,books,slippers,jewellery,hair accessories,nail varnishes,lovely little butterfly trinket box,the list goes on... Like I say,I was very spoilt!

On the Sunday (my actual birthDAY) we decided to go for a walk down by the river as it was a glorious day. 




It was a lovely walk. Ruby loves the water,she gets so excited and loves being let off the lead.
Mia loves the water too,it was so warm!
Dan was teaching Mia how to skim stones,she did very well. 

We went to Route 38 for dinner that evening,both my family and Dans family got together and we had a lovely time. I wasn't overly impressed with my meal,but the most important thing was that we all enjoyed ourselves :) I got a birthday cake too,everyone sang Happy Birthday to me and I blew out my candles.
I am going to pick up my new car tomorrow!!! EXCITED!!! 
So here I am,another year older! I feel very blessed to have loving friends and family around me,they made my birthday so much more special.

Tuesday....is that all???

Hello Everybody!! 

How are we all?
 I haven't blogged in a few days,due to there being not enough hours in the day! 
The last few days I have been spending a lot of time with various family members,catching up with the housework,doing the monthly shop,just general day-to-day chores....oh yeah,and BUYING A BRAND NEW FLIPPIN' CAR!! Yes,that's right, BUYING A NEW CAR!! 😃 I am just a little bit excited,can you tell?!
I have been thinking of getting a new car for a while now,so off Dan and I went into Plymouth to see what we could find....
I had my heart set on a new Seat Leon,so we went to the Seat car sales garage,had a look around,saw a few cars that I liked the look of,had a chat with the nice car salesman ( not pushy or smarmy,which is quite refreshing to see!) 
In my mind I thought I'd get a car a few years old,not thinking I'd ever be able to afford a brand new car! The nice car salesman, Max showed me a Seat Leon...I didn't like it!! I surprised myself,I was thinking 'why do I not like this car? I thought this was what I wanted!' 
We looked around some more,Max showed us a lovely red Seat,I fell in love! This was the one I wanted,turns out it was a Seat Ibiza Toca I liked (shows how much I know about cars 😕)
I told Max that I would love it in white,he said that wouldn't be a problem,so I asked to sit in it,I couldn't sit in that particular car as it was sold 😞He told me that inside they had a brand new Seat Ibiza Toca I could sit in...EXCITED!! 
I sat in it and OH.MY.GOODNESS,it was Luxury with a capital L! All the mod cons,also had a sat nav that comes with the car,you can also play your music through it! 
I then stopped myself from getting excited as I realised I would never be able to afford this. I turned to Dan and Max and said 'I won't be able to afford this though' Max looked at me and said 'let's see what we can do' I gave Dan a hopeful smile,Dan also could see how much I loved it. 
Turns out I could afford it! (With a lot of help from Dan! ) Dan said it was his early birthday present for me! I was so happy and elated,I didn't think for one second I'd be able to afford brand new,we got a fantastic deal. 
I am so greatful to Dan for helping me,he wins the award for 'best fiancé in the world!' That day,nothing could wipe the stupid grin off my face! 
So now I am waiting for them to make my car,ship it over and then I can go and collect it,probably in a couple of weeks time,it is an agonising wait,hence the title for this post Tuesday....is that all???

This is the car we saw in the garage,the one I sat in,the one I am getting....


BUT IN WHITE!!!!
Isn't it sexy?! EEEEEEEEEEK!!!!! 


So,a very lovely birthday present,wouldn't you agree?? 😊

I hope you have all had a nice bank holiday weekend.

Happy Friday!

Today I have spent the day with Zoe,my sister-in-law to be,and mine and Dans nephew Callum. 
Callum is 10 months old and such a cutie! He is just getting bigger so quickly,I bought Callum a few tops and some trousers today,aged 18-24 months and even that size I think is too small for him! He is a gorgeous chunky monkey :) 
He has started pulling himself up to standing,his teeth are coming through and he's now saying 'mumma' Zoe is very pleased! He already says 'dadda' and 'nanna! He saved 'mumma' till last!! 
Zoe and I get on like a house on fire which is good as in 10 months time I'll be her new sister-in-law,she'll be stuck with me then! :) 
Here he is! So chuffing cute! Am I right??!! <3 
This has to be one of my favourite ever pictures of Dan and Callum. Look at Callum's little face,he certainly loves his Uncle Dan and Dan certainly loves him! 


IN OTHER NEWS.......

I want to say a huge WELL DONE!! To my bestest friend,Leona. Today she gained a C grade in her Science GCSE exam! (Re-take) I am so proud of her,she really did work so hard for it and she deserves all the success in the world. She is a clever bunny. You may know Leona from the blogging world: Oh! Leona.blogspot.co.uk. 


ALSO....

DAN IS HOME!!!! YAY!!! 
You're wandering what on earth I am on about?!
Well Dan has been working away for the last 8 weeks in Bristol,he is a Roofer and they were contracted for a large job,so he had to go and do his thang. He popped home a couple of weekends during his 8 weeks,but today was his last day,so he is home,back where he belongs! It has been a long couple of months without him. For now, we are going to enjoy a whole week off together,which we don't get to do very often,so we will be sure to make the most of it! 


Have you had a Happy Friday? I hope you have. I also hope you have a great weekend! :)

My Camping Holiday!




Today I got back from my camping holiday,I went with my sister,Lucy (left) our cousin Kimberley, (right), and my niece, Mia...that's me in the middle. We went for 3 nights and stayed at Lanyon Holiday Park,near Redruth,Cornwall. I can safely say I am completely and utterly exhausted!! 
I did mention how much I love camping on my first post and this little holiday didn't disappoint. We had a lot of fun! The weather stayed glorious for us too,there were plenty of clouds but also plenty of sunshine,I even caught the sun on my face (I never catch the sun on my face) 

This photo below was my sister and my niece,Mia on our first day,we were relieved when we got our tent up,we enjoyed a cider to celebrate! (Mia had a soft drink!) 
As much as I have had a lovely holiday,I am sure glad to be home! I have missed Toby,my bed and all the other little luxuries we take for granted. 
As you can see by the top picture we visited a gorgeous seaside village named Portreath,Cornwall. Just a few miles away from our camping park. We trecked up this extremely steep coast path and we ended up on the top of the cliffs overlooking the beautiful view. I have a fear of the sea but to look at, it was stunning. It looked like we were in the Caribbean or somewhere tropical! We really are very lucky to have such beautiful locations so close to home. There were even Shetland ponies on the cliffs! I was nervous they would fall off! ( I also have a fear of heights!) It was a beautiful day. 
Look at us roasting marshmallow's on our camp stove! :) 

This is Ruby,my sisters Chocolate Labrador. She was very well behaved during our holiday,kept very quiet with this HUGE bone.
She's a lovely friendly dog. 
So,for the rest of my evening I have planned to do nothing but sit in front of the sofa and watch the tv! Aaaaah,this is the life! :)

A little bit about me.

So...here goes,my first post! I suppose you'll want to know a little about me? Hello everyone,my name is Becca.

I live in Cornwall, I haven't always lived in Cornwall, I originally come from Reading, I moved down with my family when I was like 14 (I think) I lose track of time!

I am 23 years old, 24 on September 7th!

I live with my fiance, Dan,vour lovely black and white cat,Toby,and our 20 odd tropical fish :-) Dan and I have been together 9 years in November,engaged 9 months and we are getting married on the 4th of July 2015...eeeek!! :-) Dan is the love of my life, my best friend, soul mate and he means the absolute world to me, I can't wait to be his wife <3 

Toby is the best cat in the world (biased,I know) he is extremely spoilt by Dan and I. He is honestly like our son, we love him soooo much! He has a lovely,cheeky character,still kitten like at 17 month's old. 

The fish are more Dan's speciality,he loves his tank,I have warmed to them,and do find them fun to watch,rather therapeutic too!

I work as a Health Care Assistant at a lovely hospital in a town called Liskeard (Cornwall) I have been there 8 months and I love my job. It is challenging,fun,rewarding and I work with such wonderful people :-)

I don't really have any hobbies,I have more 'things I like to do': I enjoy camping-camping is so much fun! Setting up the tent,arranging your sleeping quarters with about 10 duvets and blankets,so it's all snuggly at night. Sitting outside on camp chairs on a warm summers evening with a glass of wine,roasting marshmallow's. Waking in the morning to crisp fresh air,boiling water on the camp stove and making a lovely cup of tea...yeah,I really do love camping!

Seeing my friends and family-I love my friends and family,I feel very blessed to have such amazing people in my life. 

I have an older sister,Lucy, 27.She is incredibly important to me,we are extremely close. We see each other almost every day,would feel very strange if we didn't! My younger brother,James,he is 5,a little bugger at times,but he is gorgeous,I love him dearly! 

My Dad,Ashley,he is awesome,best Dad in the world! We have alot of banter,but I love my Daddy so much!

My best friend, Leona. She truly is the best,I love her with every inch of my heart,we have been best friends pretty much since I moved to Cornwall. I'd do anything for her,i have always got her back,forever ;-) oh,and she is also my Maid of Honour!

My niece Mia,she is beautiful! 8 going on 18!! She is a lovely young lady,I am very proud of her.

Last and certainly not least my Mum,my beautiful Mum sadly passed away when I was a tiny baby. I miss her everyday <3 Claire,my stepmum is great,(my younger brother James' mum) Claire is very caring and loving,she has always done her best for us kids,and I love her very much.

So,there is a little bit about me,I hope you enjoy reading and I look forward to writing more posts in the very near future :-)
