Best Mates

I am the luckiest girl I know - I have a great set of friends from all over the country, The Wirral, London, Manchester, Scotland, Isle of Wight & all of them are amazing. I am so grateful to all of them for the happiness we all share, the laughs, the dance offs and banter. They know who they are, they are the perfect friends.

What I love about my friends so much is that no matter my decisions they always stand by me. For instance, moving back up north was always a wish of mine. I sat on a train telling Hester what I wanted & she just listened and again gave me the courage to just go for it. You know when you are having hard times they are always there even though you might live the other end of the country. I am able to say that my friends go that extra mile - when Barbara was sending me texts last week from Tenerife, because we always went on holiday together she started to worry about me because she couldn't get in touch with me so she called Zoe to find out if I was alright. She didn't know that I lost my phone, "bloody typical" I think the words were, but she cared from all that way. I just think it is amazing to have friends who care for you, they are your extended family.

I have been single for four & half years and counting ha ha! My friends have been my rocks, always around for fun, tears and a lot of laughs. If I ever meet a man who can deliver on even half of the love and fun I get from my friends I will be a very lucky girl. Being single has been great because it has shown me how much fun and love is out there with out a partner, I am very grateful for that.

This weekend I have the Smithy, Hester & maybe Rox over, love it. Next weekend I am home and will see everyone from schooldays, the following weekend I am at Bestival with the Isle of Wight lot - is it no wonder I am single I am never in one place each weekend. I am bloody happier than I have ever been though. Thanks bessies for making my life so rich, I am truly grateful.

Thanks for tuning in, sorry if it was a bit soppy!
