Hey. I'm C. My best friend is P, who i met in my first year of St Bedes high school in Lytham, Lancashire, England. Against all odds, despite me moving away to a different St Bedes in Ormskirk near Liverpool, we're still best friends at aged 18. Around two years ago we haphazardly decided-
"I know! Lets not go to uni, lets bum around the world for a year"
I don't know who's idea it was originally but the other one said ok... we deferred entry. Since then we've both been working round the clock to save enough money... me at the Acropolis chip shop in Ormskirk, Paula at the Bar and Grill at Ribby Hall in Wrea Green. I've ran two jobs at once for a while, 15 hour days and Paula dresses up in a duck/squirrel costume... nothing could make me do that, apart from maybe this.
So here we are. C and P. We are 18. We really like mooses. We drunkedly got the same tattoos on alternate feet on our birthdays (hers is on the 2nd August, mine on the 3rd, what were our mothers thinking) saying WATLO- stands for we are the lucky ones. We congregate around "the tree", my best friends are "the anus crew" (i hope you're happy my family might come on this), i live at a crazy house with my mum (i dnt know how they cope) and sister Chloe (brainbox, very proud), my stepdad Ian, my stepbrothers Nick and Mark (STAY AT COLLEGE), my beautiful dog connor who never stops barking (unless he's chewing his foot off) and hamster Miles. My big brother Michael lives with his partner Hannah in Manchester. I am also an aunty Charlotte I have a nephew called TJ but he is not old enough to read this. I will miss everyone.
Hello to everyone who reads especially Winstanley Elite (haha) KEEP IN TOUCH (i know i'm a hypocrite) All my family but especially my mum (don't worry about me) and my nana if she sees this (who gave me the travel bug) grandma and Neil, Aunty Jo and Uncle Michael, Oliver and Elliot in Australia, Auntie Sarah and cheeky monkey, my cousin Lauren etc etc etc and any acropolis people wish u were here hahahahaha no seriously please give me my job back when i get back...

Wish us luck 😊 x
