This Month of Mine #9 - British GP, having two birthdays and general life

Where to start? It's been two months since my last life update This Month of Mine #8, i'll try remember as best I can!

1. Charlotte and I had an amazing time at the British Grand Prix. The weather really does make or break a weekend. Last time we went there there was torrential rain all weekend but this time we had beautiful sunshine. I especially enjoyed sitting on the International Pit Straight (opposite the pits) during qualifying, I find it fascinating watching the garages!

I've had two birthdays:

2. Firstly my 1 year blogday was at the end of June. Very proud to have kept this going.

3. Then last Sunday was my birthday (pre-birthday thoughts)and we went out for the day to Llandudno. We arrived there but what was sunshine throughout the rest of the UK was pouring rain in Wales! So we went for a drive to see if it would clear up and ended up in beautiful Llanberis followed by Bangor. That was cool as i've not been there since I left uni 7 years ago. We then headed back to Llandudno and went up the Great Orme in the cable car and spent out 2ps in the arcade. On the way home we ate in our favourite fish and chip restaurant.

4. My cleaning job is keeping me very busy. Some days i'm in the office and others i'm all over the country cleaning show homes. Some early starts though,  for example tomorrow I have to be at work for 6.15am! I've given up the catering work at the weekend as it was too much for me doing that, working full-time and trying to complete my Sociology.

5. Talking of which . . . I'VE COMPLETED IT! I Sent in the last unit for marking on Friday and am now just waiting for the results. So glad to have done it.

6. We went to see Villa play Wolverhampton in a pre-season friendly.

7. We worked at a trade show in Devises and stayed at this cute B&B on the Wiltshire/Somerset border. My room looked onto the garden and farm behind with countryside all around! It was in the area we used to live when I was a child, so so pretty!

8. You know i've attempting #10000 steps every day? Posts here and here. I'd been doing well in that but i've been so busy in the past week that i've failed a little in both that and in eating. Not to worry though because that's life and this is a lifestyle change not a fad. I bought a Fitbit this week. I like seeing my sleep pattern but i'm not finding the step count all that accurate! If any of you have one, i'd love to hear what you think? If you do and want to be friends on it (or whatever it is called) let me know your email and i'll add you.

9. Going to the theatre on Wednesday night was the first time i've been out in the evening for months!. (I won't even tell you how long it's been since i've been out out, it's pretty embarrassing!) We saw the summer school production of The Wizard of Oz. I couldn't remember what happened in it though and had ask my friends if it was the interval or if that was the end!! I've also never seen so many kids on stage!

I reckon that about covers it, what about you been doing recently?

I AM

I am Amy. I am 27.  I have to write that because tomorrow I am different. But I have been thinking I am the next number all year long. Because my friends have all turned that number, it is all I keep thinking, along with everyone asking 'how old are you going to be this year Amy?'

Does anyone else feel that?

I've always been the baby out of my friends and at school, with the whole year group turning a year older before me, wanted to feel that age too. Because you do at that age don't you?

But now I don't. Today is the last chance to say, I am 27!
