I've moved & it's my birthday!

So, I've moved! Well, I'm in the process of moving and I'm probably attempting to co-ordinate removal men, a million boxes and several large pieces of furniture while trying to keep a bunny entertained and figuring out how to turn the electric on without breaking anything as you read this! Oh the wonderful process of moving house, it's really not fun at all and I have no idea why some people choose to move every few years. It's way too stressful for me to cope with! So although I've not managed to reply to as many comments as I would have liked, I'm still alive, I'm still here and I hope to be around properly again very soon!
After being over 200 miles away from my boyfriend for the majority of our relationship, I am now just a five minute walk away. Yeah, I did googlemap that and yeah I'm a total loser for doing that but 200 miles to 5 minutes is a big and very lovely change! I'm also just an hour and a half train ride from my lovely family who live in York so now it's actually possible to pop up and visit them for the day. Obviously my grandparents aren't getting any younger and I missed out on a lot when I was growing up because we lived so far away, but now I'll be able to visit them more often which will be so lovely!

If this post actually does go up when it's supposed to, I never fully trust the scheduling system, then today (Saturday) is my 22nd birthday and although my life has just been flipped upside down, I really couldn't be happier! Hopefully very soon I'll be tweeting away on my very own iPad, which before I get any 'omg your so spoiled' comments, I will be paying for mostly out of my own money! Having my boy in my life properly is honestly the best birthday present ever & it's our three year anniversary at the end of the month so I have a feeling that May might be very good to me!

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend wherever you are and whatever you're doing! Thank you for always being so lovely, I really do appreciate every single comment or email and I don't know what I've done to deserve you all but I'm very happy that you're here!

Lots of Love,
xoxo
