I moved into a 2 bedroom flat with my brother on the 24th of July. It's right in the city centre. Everything is at our doorstep, and the mall is like 5 minutes away from the flat.
My Mom was supposed to come over the same day with a car full of stuff to help us out! Then the next day was my 21st. Everything was supposed to be perfect!
... Except it didn't go as planned.
After driving approximately 9 hours to the french border in order to catch a ferry to the UK, my mom was stopped and sent back. She had to drive another 9 hours back home and almost had an accident on the way back. I was at work when I received a call from Anja's fiancé. He told me what had happened and I was devastated. I had such a bad night and couldn't stop crying.
Then Sunday it was my 21st birthday and I was in a really great mood, obviously. Anja & Alistair knew that I was really down and decided to take me out for a quick birthday breakfast before I went to work. I then thought that I really had to get a grip on myself otherwise I was going to ruin the party later that day. So after work I quickly got ready, or at least I tried! Philippa and I took the bus together and arrived there pretty much on time. We had a nice BBQ and luckily, it only started to rain by the time we were finished eating.
So we all went inside, talked and laughed for a while until I found Anja a bit too excited suddenly. She kept on looking through the window and then suddenly told me: "Your surprise is here". I went to the window and saw a white limo waiting there! I really didn't expect that! Awesome surprise!
We drove around the centre of Derby for about an hour (if I remember correctly) and it was loads of fun. Then we got dropped off in town and went to Walkabout and had the place to ourselves (it was a Sunday), so we were all dancing like retards :).
It was a great birthday!
