Well that's only a little bit true, I do feel slightly wiser this year. Not much, but a wee bit sure. I am officially 23 WTF. Time is creeping up and it is scary!!

My wonderful house mates know how much I hate surprises and so returning from the beach, I found the house covered in balloons and silly string. Thinking of silly string even now gives me shudders... I HATE IT. But thanks for the effort guys ;) I loved it really.

So my 23rd birthday will be forever remembered as an awkward pre-party with us all sat in a nice circle making awkward conversation with one another. However the drinks got flowing and that soon changed.

It also marks an important new addition to our family!! Upon return from the bar, me and Roisin found Clifford. Who's Clifford you ask?? Well Clifford is the big red plastic dog. We found him tied to a lamp post on our street - and he is now the focal point of our lovely white house. A few weeks later we seen an article in the paper about how these dogs had been placed all around the city as a social experiment to see if people would steal them.
