– Favourites –

• My first favourite of July was a new dress that my mum brought me (Its a Skater Style dress with 3/4 length sleeves and its red with little floral designs).
• My second favourite of July was finding a secondhand copy of 11.22.63 by Stephen King at a local bootfair in perfect condition for only 30p.
• My third favourite of July was actually a day out to one of my favourite places to visit…Dover Castle with my family.
• My fourth favourite of July was finally receiving my module result (I Passed! YAY!)
• My fifth and final favourite of July was actually a fizzy drink. My mum picked me a bottle of the new Exotic Mango Diet Coke up to try and lets just say I am slightly obsessed with it now!
