The gang at Glastonbury
Today marks my 32nd birthday. Yep, I'm old. Since hitting 30 I've stopped celebrating my birthday in a big way. Instead of having a massive party I tend to go for a meal with Daniel or just hang with my friends and this year is no different. In actual fact, I'm currently sat at my work desk drinking some matcha tea. I am the epitome of rock and roll!Me and Mum at Cahoots
This birthday I don't want to dwell on the fact that I'm old or anything else that will make me feel miserable. I want to celebrate everything good that has happened to me this year. It's 2016, we all need a bit of positivity. Here are 32 things that have happened this year:
