Gifts

I got completely spoilt and was given some absolutely

beautiful gifts. Just for moving away!

Unfortunately some of them are still in Le Pub

(including the most unbelievable book)

but I'll whack them on here once I get them back

Marianna has been forcing presents on my for

a few weeks now and has got me some sick stuff

for my new home. Unfortunately I also decided

to buy some of these items. It just means she knows

me far too well!

Some of the things she got I didn't go out and buy:

The comfiest pillows you could imagine

Lottie gave me these amazing owl bookends which are currently holding

my sketch books and diaries.

She also gave me a polaroid at the end of the night.

It is the centre photo of my polaroid masterpiece

Mister and Missus Gibb gave me a hilarious card. It reads:

Ree: "I'm leaving Newport, yaaaaaay" Jess: "Boooooo"

They also got me the cutest mug and a pen with mine and

Jess's face inside.

Spam gave me a whole suitcase of stuff! Which it took us about

an hour to get into once we got to Leicester.

The burger teapot is pure perfection

She also wrote me some classic sam poems. I will

blog them later on when I get sad

There was a slight owl theme going on in these gifts.

It was continued with a joint present from Marianna

and Phil and a picture Phil made for me.

I completely adore this picture. its probably my favourite

picture I've ever owned.

I went back in time when I received original maz's present.

She made me a charm bracelet reading Ree * Mazi G :)

Tom and Jo and Dave and Linsey also bought me some amazing stuff

but i'll wait until I get it to reveal what they are.

Thankyou so much everyone (and mum and dad for my practical

presents) If only I could have bought you all the

perfect presents too.

I love you all ridiculous levels of love.

Marianna's Speech

I know your going to hate sitting through this Ree. However, I wanted to embarrass/make you laugh and melt your heart all at the same time before you leave.

I’ll try to make this as painful as possible.....

As we all know, the majority of our crew were brought together by Le Pub. I think it’s safe to say that some of your strongest friendships have been established there including our very own.

We grew even closer after you’d ventured to Uni in Leicester. With me posting you gifts such as that leopard ashtray which we’ve used right up until this day as a holder for the many bulbs of garlic we’ve used to cook with.

Although I only managed to visit you once in the whole three years of your course, we still managed stay the closest of friends.

I’d never been so excited as I was when you finally returned back to Newport and back into my arms.

We planned so many trips in our heads but although they didn’t materialize, the one thing we both dreamed of actually did! And that one thing was moving in together. ‘’We can wear each others clothes’’ we bellowed ‘’and shoes! Oh wait you’re a 5 and I’m a 6’’ ‘’Shiiiit’ we said in disappointment. But in the end I managed to shrink my feet to a 5 and we both lived in shoe harmony.

Through all the highs & lows, we’ve been right by each other’s side. Every time either of us were poorly we’ve helped each other get better. I’d like to take this opportunity to appologise for all the times you’ve been sick and I’ve not heard you. You know I’m a deep sleeper

Moving to Leicester again has been on the cards for a while now and I’ve been asking myself a few questions. Such as:

*Who’s going to make sure that I wake up after falling asleep on the sofa?

*Who’s going to answer my questions when watching an intense film?

*Who’s going to laugh at the ridiculous noises my throat likes to make from time to time, as well as my burping, and of course my Mariannarisms?

Although you wont be here in sight, you will always be with me right by my side.

I cant tell you how much I am going to miss you, I really cant. I feel like I’m loosing half of me.

Thank you so much for being an amazing friend. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do the job.

I want you to know that I will be here for you whenever you need me. Whenever you want to chat, laugh, cry I am just a phone call or a 2 hour drive away.

You will always come first to me but I know you know that already.

"Real friendships among people are so rare that when they occur they are famous."
-Clarence Day

And your friendship with each and everyone of us here is fabulously famous. Whether you want to call her Nony, Piano, Ree or in my case ‘my best friend’ here’s to her (& William) and the bright future ahead of them in Leicester and beyond.

I feel confident saying this on behalf of everyone here that we will miss you incredibly so my lady. We ‘I’ love you very much.

I will miss her everyday

Bon Voyage el famille

My family took me and Marianna to the Bell in the Caerleon

for a goodbye meal.

Tasty tasty goodness

Junk

So when I moved I filled a huge van, an estate car,

my car and marianna's car took my ridiculously huge chair.

I have soooo much shit! Packing was an absolute nightmare

William totally knew what was going on

Daninski

Last week was a week of goodbyes (Not forever obviously)

So monday was dedicated to Daniel Grey. Tim Day even

ventured out on a school night!

I had my favourite murrenger beverage

Dans trainers attach to his bike. I find this insane

Minehead treaties

I've been so busy moving that I forgot to tell you

about my minehead goodies. (This could also explain

why I had a whole van full of absolute crap when I moved)

We stopped off in Minehead on our way back from ATP

and here were some really lovely charity shops.

Not so much for clothes but for trinkets. There

were also some really adorable little seaside

boutique style shops there.

So I bought the best pirate book I've ever seen

(I'll take some photos soon so you can see the

typography is there, its beautiful) I also bought

a cat teapot just like ones my mum used to have when

she collected them too.

I bought some old vintage gloves and an otter picture.

Oh and some lovely postcards.

Marianna then spotted a completely amazing bakery.

I think the bite marks on the cherry cake say it all.

Tea and Cake...Nom Nom Nom

Bonne nuit

It's my Last night in my own bed in Newport tonight

I represented my last night in true world wild disney style

You should employ me, I'd buy you good presents when I leave
