Turning 26.

On Saturday I turned 26. I won't lie, I'm starting to feel a little bit old and a little bit closer to 30 then I care to think about, but it's not too bad so far.

I started my day opening my presents from my parents over the phone to them, opening my other presents and cards with my housemates and then going to Urban Reef for breakfast which was amazing as always. I then got my hair cut and blow dried to a volume of Cheryl Cole proportions and then spent the rest of the afternoon decorating our flat to a standard that I'm sure the Romans would have been proud of.

Poached eggs & smoked salmon
on toasted muffins. Yes.

We then Togaed ourselves up and had a mini photo shoot in our newly decorated entrance hall/breakfast room. Gradually the rest of the "Romans"arrived, the music was going, food was being devoured and drink was flowing.

I had an amazing night. I literally felt like I danced from the moment the party started to the moment it finished - apart from when I was sitting down and having happy birthday sung to me before I blew out the candles on my cake.

The day went so quickly, but it was brilliant. I spent it with some of my favourite people, got some lovely presents and got to dance all night. I don't think I could have had a better start to my year as a 26 year old. I can only now wonder as to what this year is going to bring..
