Okay, so rumour has it that today is my brithday.
This would mean I'm 16, scary concept.
Some cultures would say I'm an adult.
Little do they know!

I was so excited about this birthday and I really wasn't disspointed.
Basically, my entire family has been out for my brithday so I had a bit of a make shift birthday celebration!
Last night my best friend Francesca's family made me a birthday dinner, my favourite meal to have at their house is kedjerie(probably spelt wrong!) but yeah, so her sister made me that.
I'm quite close with her sister as well so it was so nice to see how much effort she went through!
She even made me some cupcakes!
And after we finished eating Rachel(Frans sister) gave me a present, it's this beautiful braclet and it had an "L" charm on it, and she was like "Yeah I'm really sorry, I forgot your name was actually Elizabeth, cos I always call you Lil so I actually thought your name began with an L!" it was so funny, but I love it so much cos noone calls me Elizabeth anyway!
And then Frans mum gave me a present from the rest of their family which was two more beautiful charms to put on the braclet.
Rachel also gave me a letter which has so thoughtful and lovely.
In the evening we had a game of yahtzee, which was brilliant.
It was an awesome evening with my surrogate family!

So today I woke up at Frans hosue and after walking home, I checked the post & my phone, 9 birthday text messages.
Heather sent me an awesome key ring that I am going to put on my keys as soon as I find them! And a gift voucher for New Look!
Ellen had left my present here from when she visited so it has taken all my self control not to open it before today! So she had gotton me this awesome book that she told me about one time that I really need to find the time to read, cos it looks so good. It was so nice that she remembered me saying I wanted to read it!
Then there's the mandatory wooly hat from the cousins, but I do love hats so it was awesome!

And then Laura arrived first, her presents blew me away!!First of all she was like *hand me a homemade CD* "Put this in your laptop" so i put it in and it's this powerpoint presentation, where basically she wrote me a letter and it was spread over some slides and in the background was one of my favourite songs "Untouchable" the cover version by taylor swift!And then at the end there's this video of her talking and then all of a sudden she pulls out her guitar and starts playing some music and I'm like "This sounds so cool, what song is it?" and then she starts singing in the video and it's a song I wrote, that I sent her the lyrics for!!!
Which made me bawl my eyes out, she made it sound so pretty and I was blown away by how amazing she is at guitar and...just wow!
But that wasn't all she got me, she then handed my a wrapped up present and I opened it and it has like this pretty book thing that had a gorgeous cover and I opened it and it was my story I wrote for fanfiction.net, it was all put together like a real book.
Which made me cry again! I have always said that it would be my dream to have a story I've written like in a book, and she gave me my dream all wrapped up beautifully!
I was speechless!!!
And then Cascia and Nancy and Fran got here, I had chosen my present from Cascia and yesterday when I was in London with them, so I knew what I was getting, but it was still so awesome to get them. From Cascia I got a couple of big heavy knit jumpers, which I adore! and from Fran a really nice pretty top that I wanted!
Then Nancy got my a really cool ring that I picked out yesterday aswell and then she also got me a set of amazing fairy lights that I wanted to buy yesterday but we had run out of time and had to go home before I could buy them. Somehow she managed to sneak past me and buy the for me, which I was so amazed by!!!
Cascia also made me this really cool mood board thing with photos of my and my friends on it, and random little things I had written in her English book, she had torn out and stuck on and like my favourite drink label and also she typed up my favourite passage from my favourite book and stuck it right in the middle and there are like lyrics and pictures of my favourite things stuck around it!
And then after the present opening, Laura played some guitar for us and we had an awesome sing along, this was the playlist:
Should've said No-Taylor Swift
Our Song-Taylor Swift
Stop and Stare-I can't remember the band
Wonderwall-Oasis
Kiss Me-Sixpence None the Richer
MY SONG AGAIN!!!!!!!!
White Horse-Taylor Swift
I'd Lie-Taylor Swift
MY SONG AGAIN!!!!

Basically I had an awesome day and I am well and trully blessed to have people who I love and who love me back surrounding me,
