Today I have leveled up to 25 (!!), yep I’ve been on this planet for a quarter of the century now and while there is a mild panic that I am now closer to 30 than 20, I’m hoping this will be a good year. So, for tonight’s post I thought I’d let you in on 25 fun facts about me you might not know!

• I once had a meal with Trevor McDonald as part of a uni event, we bonded over how much we enjoyed George Ezra’s music.

• I have had 9 hamsters in my life Lampie, Hamski, Noodle, Wickett have all passed on to the rainbow bridge and currently I have BB, Artoo, Wompa, Nymeria and Ghost with Ali.

• Speaking of, I met Ali at 13 years old, I’ve been a little bit in love with him ever since.

• I didn’t realise I loved academics until much later for my GCSE options I chose Music, Art, Drama and Textiles – I wanted to take dance but it wouldn’t fit with my schedule (also my knees were buggered).

• I have Hypermobility meaning my joints are super bendy – I still can’t do the splits though. 🤔

• I would rather read than do almost anything else.

• I don’t drink coffee.

• Pop-punk is one of my favourite genres and Ali makes playlists for us full of awesome new stuff.

• When I was a kid I dreamed of being in musicals on the West End stage… then I found rock music.

• I didn’t have a Tequila shot until my 24th birthday…I wish I hadn’t.

• If I had one moment to go back in time I’d go and watch Queen live at Wembley.

• I have a BA in English Literature and while I was studying it was my ambition to get a PhD and become a lecturer.

• I was in bands from the age of 16 to 21 as a vocalist.

• My aim for every year is to read 100 books.

• My first concert was in 1999, I saw the Spice Girls at Earls Court in London.

• I love vintage fashion, 1950s style dresses are my favourite.

• I once met Carrie Fisher, I was so excited she had her dog Gary with her that I said hello to Gary first. 🙈

• I am desperate to have my own dog, it’s the first thing I’m going to sort out when we have a house. Thankfully, I have my lovely Lottie at my parents house and a load of dogs at Ali’s mum’s house so I’m covered.

• My Myers Briggs result is an INFJ – most people are surprised I’m an introvert.

• My Netflix account ‘watched’ list is a mix of stand up comedy, true crime documentaries and comedy tv shows I’ve seen a million times before.

• I think the 80s was the best time for films, I’m also really keen on music from the time. Basically, I would have loved to have grown up in the 80s.

• My big life ambition is to write a book.

• It took me 5 attempts to pass my driving test.

• My family are super into Disney. I grew up watching Disney films on repeat, have been to Disneyland Paris 6 times, Orlando 3 time and I’m going again for my honeymoon.

• Being 25 makes me feel nervous, it feels a little bit too grown up for me!
