Amazing myself - Highlights of 2014

Feel I should follow the last slightly negative "I fail at life" post with something a little more positive. So here is a list (I like lists) of things I'm proud of achieving and memories I'd like to have forever.

First full year away from home
I've done a whole year away, mixed between halls and my own little house with my lovely girlies! I have responsibility and bills now. Wow. And I'm still alive. Who would've thunked it!? Added bonus being that I'm still loving every minute of it.

Cut off all my hair
This is something I am so immensely proud of for doing. In the process, I raised over £400 for Macmillan in memory of my wonderful Grandma, and donated at least 30cm of my hair to the Little Princess Trust! (And if  I do say so myself, don't look too shabby)

Got a first in my first year of uni
Yipee for hard work paying off

Daisy Chains in Birchfields Park
This was just the most beautiful stress free day mid exams pretending to be children again, with my absolute favourite uni chums

Working Holiday
Went down to Devon and built a fence for a week. Had a lovely time learning bushcraft skills and making many friends

Went on my first date ever
Yep. That happened. Jolly good. Let's see where that heads in 2015.

That thing that I'm not publishing but I know it happened

Gavin
My lovely university bike. Had some lovely bike rides to uni and around Manchester joined by Lizzie and Jesse

Found a lovely house for next academic year
OMG all the excite it's so cute.

Finished my gold DofE
Royals. I'm coming for you.

So that is the highlights of the year I can think of sat in a travelodge in Cardiff with my two favourite people on the planet as a suprise for Rooney's Birthday. Ice skating at midnight and honestly no-one else I would rather spend the new year with <3

Failing myself

Oh okay. So it's the 28th December. This little blog thing was the second attempt at a new years resolution to blog. And I've not blogged since May. Wow. Top marks. Good life achievements.
I'm gonna try do this bloggy thing a wee bit more.
Memories are important and I like them, so future Ellie, remember that and remember to post #content
