I’m turning 27 and I’m okay with that

I turn 27 on Sunday and I’m okay with that.  Totally okay with it.  I’m definitely not going to freak out like last year!  I’ve come a long way…

Here’s are some things I’ve done at some point in the last year that mean I’m finally beginning to act like an adult:

• Paid a bill before it was overdue
• Compared prices on health insurance
• Added water to a bottle of washing-up liquid to extend it’s shelf-life
• Patted a passing child on the head for no apparent reason
• Called to ‘confirm’ an appointment
• Took out the rubbish by myself
• Complained about ‘kids nowadays’
• Set aside a stick specifically to stir paint with
• Assigned hoovering to a certain day of the week
• Asked somebody what the ‘cool’ radio station is
• Saved TESCO coupons up for a ‘rainy day’ (actually saved anything up for a ‘rainy day’)
• Did a ‘clean-up’ before taking holidays
• Took my parents out for dinner
• Tidied the ‘arts and crafts’ cupboard (or had an ‘arts and crafts’ cupboard to begin with)
• Wiped a runny nose without throwing up afterwards

I could have made a list of things I’ve done that mean I’m still acting like a childish fool, but that would have taken a lot longer! 

Anyway, happy birthday to me and my sister, Fiona!  Cheers to another year of sometimes acting our age and sometimes acting our shoe size.
