Milly Molly Mandy (Introducing my friends)

Continuing with the theme of 'introducing my friends', today I thought I would introduce to you the person I have been friends with for the longest. Molly and I have known each other since nursery, when we used to play together in the speed boat in our playground. So that was way back when we were 3/4. We were then not in the same class again until Year 2, but I do remember having the same shoes as her in Reception (navy blue buckled shoes with three flowers on the front) and thinking we were the coolest kids in town. Which obviously we were.

From Year 2 onwards, Molly and I were in the same class. I remember near the start of the year, we had to make up tongue twisters, and Molly's was about Milly Molly Mandy who went to buy millionaire shortbread or something. We were pretty much inseparable, and we quickly discovered we lived on the same road, and walked to and from school together every day, with our mums and younger brothers. Our families did, and still do get on really well. I used to go to Molly's house every night pretty much for dinner, apart from on a Wednesday when Molly would come to my house before we went to Brownies. I remember us both having other friends in primary school, but we never really fell out.

We both wound up getting into grammar school, and I was so relieved to find out we would be in the same class. Ever since, we've remained such good friends, and Mols is honestly one of my very best friends, because we've been through pretty much our whole lives together-or the bits that I remember anyway. We used to do weird things in primary school like dress up and make up dance routines in the back of my garden, or bring Molly's rabbit inside the house (which I thought was the coolest thing because my rabbit wasn't allowed inside), and the very first time I went to Molly's house, she told me her dad could burn a tissue, and he would probably burn the salad with our pizza. Which we found hilarious. I remember spilling ice cream down my pinafore and John saying "your mum's going to kick my ass" and Mols and I were laughing so much. I also remember her leap frogging over me in her hallway to get to the lounge because the Weakest Link was on. Haha, I also remember her dad watching videos on the computer one dinner time of a remix of the 'calm down dear' advert (going off on a slight tangent) and finding it really scary. But in secondary school, we remained good friends, and I know that I can always meet up with Molly and have a right old laugh!

Okay so as I'm writing this I'm remembering so many things that we have found funny, like when we used to record funny voices at sleepovers, and things that we found hilarious, but normal people who don't know us will find mental. But that's why Molly and I have remained friends, because I guess we just get each other, have the same sense of humour, and at the end of the day we have been best friends for roughly eleven years, so we know exactly what the other person means.

More recently, Mols and I went to Thorpe Park with my dad and brother (this was in the May last year) and we hid my dad's bacon sandwich in the Costa Coffee at the service station and he thought the woman had taken it away and he went mental, and Molly and I have honestly never found anything as funny. I've never been more sure that I will carry on being friends with someone, because Molly has always been a big part of my life, and I can't imagine not having her around. We have in depth conversations about Eastenders, Made In Chelsea (mainly consisting of mocking Spenny), and I quiz her on Glee (which she hates), and she teaches me the lyrics to Eminem songs on the 45 minute journey to school. But in a nutshell, Molly is my best friend, and I've known her for the longest out of any of my friends and I'm just thankful she hasn't got fed up of me yet, and she knows that if she wants to be a bridesmaid at my wedding, she has to wait to get her sleeves until after I'm married!!

I will end this post with a few photographs, I hope you are enjoying this idea so far, and I hope my friends approve of what I'm writing!

This was an evening at my house where Molly and I took about 1749028 photos on my mac. I want to say it was in like year nine, but realistically I think it was year ten. It was September 2011, I just checked. Nice editing I know.

This was us a month or so ago at our friend Lauren's house for pre prom. Molly looked b-e-a-utiful.

This was on a day out with our friends. We were posing, and Molly said 'Megan look more gangsta' and this photo was the stunning result.

On the same day out, a photo that made my mum 'tear up' when she saw it, because we don't have too many nice, normal photos of us. Aw.

Finally, my favourite picture of us, taken by one of my other best friends Laura, who is an incredible photographer. I just really like this photo, and I like that I am wearing the sunglasses that Molly's mum lent me when I went to their house before we left for the Laura's, because it basically sums up the fact that Molly's mum is like my second mum, and my mum is like Molly's second mum. Bit of cuteness for you there. Thank you for the lovely photo Laura, and thank you for being there for me for eleven years Mol.xxxxxxxxxxx
