Girlfriends Forever

This post is all about my girly friends past & present some who are now in the past who i hold special memories still and some that have stayed by my side ...
Starting with my mum who is my best friend of all love her to bits


 and my big sis. There is a 13 year gap between us but we are so alike almost like twins, she is living next door to me at the mo and we enjoy seeing each other every day and enjoy having a good natter together over coffee :)

Me & Tracey at our Mums




 A new girl arrived in our school she had just moved into the village her name is

 Sarah


Me and sarah have been friends since we were 7 years old .. both now 30.. so many memories and fun times and laughs with or without drink involved she is like a sister to me and very dear to me


As kids our mums worked together down my godmothers house,  A large manor house and Acres of beautiful gardens in the country, we had a magical time playing in the gardens together rolling down hills of bracken!! playing in the boat on the pond playing up the road at the farm making hay bail camps and riding on our bikes, roller skating down steep hills, we were also in girl guides together and had fun going away to camp, great memories.


.. we were at secondary school together but started to drift after the first year, she was a bit of a boff becoming a prefect and in the more intelligent group of people whereas i used to hang out in the girls toilet with my bunch of girls eating our lunches (i know lovely!!) being told off for a short tie untucked shirt and too much makeup!!


sarah used to wear these lovely colourful flower painted doctor martin boots and hippy skirts


 Towards the last years during this time i had gained 2 new friends who are still in my life today my friend

cheryl


who if i hadnt become friends with i would not have the most lovely husband i have today and beautiful children. I married her first cousin Gavin he was my first crush as a teenager at the tender age of 13 roll forward 11 years we met again got engaged that christmas eve after 8 months had 2 beautiful babies and cheryl is now the godmum of our daughter and a very close friend of mine still


During my time hanging out with cheryl every school summer holidays we made friends with the local kids in her village and hung around up the park together doing the usual things that teenage girls do flirting with the boys and having a drink 



this is when i met another good friend of mine

Donna


we were inseperable for a while there and have so many fab memories together


 but we got with different fellas and one day she just stopped talking to me this is one relationship that still grips at my heart and makes me feel sad to this day as i never had any explanation of her giving me up as a friend we had a chance meeting a few years back and had a coffee she said she would be in touch but never was sadly

  Then there was

 kelly


my drum n bass bird we loved nothing better than hanging out her bedroom window watching the boys in their cars outside watching father ted having a drink in the bus stop
 

and clubbing at atomics nightclub maidstone in our pedal pushers reebok classics and hackett t shirts!!



 Moving on my darling girl sarah came back into my life whilst i was living in london as our mums were working together again so sarah caught a train up and arranged to meet me in london she was pregnant at the time and on her own after meeting at station our friendship kicked off again like we had never been apart so many laughs and fun times





.. 2 of my other good friends i met through another girl i briefly knew through work

 Saira


 and

 Amanda


 we have known each other for about 8 years now we dont see a great deal of each other these days but occasionally meet up and message each other both girls are still special friends of mine and lastly is

Andrea

  2. What a heartwarmingly lovely post and tribute to many of the people you hold nearest and dearest to your heart. My mom is my best girl friend, too, and I feel so incredibly blessed about that fact (as I'm sure you do, too).
