10 Things To Do With Your Best Friends.

1. Have a picnic.
All you need is some food and drink, a nice location such as a local park, a blanket and some music if you so prefer. I can definately vouch for this as one as my favourite things to do with my friends. If the weather isn't up to scratch, have an indoor picnic in your living room, you could even build a makeshift fort!

2. Go ice skating.

Whether you glide around the ice like a pro or fall on your butt a million times, it's sure to be a fun day out, and moderately inexpensive. Coupled with hot chocolates afterwards, providing the perfect opportuntity to warm up and have a gossip.

3. Go to a comedy show.

It makes a change to the normal night out, and everyone knows the old adage that laughter is the best medicine. Personally I think it's a far better way to spend the night rather than being held up in some dark nightclub void of conversation.

4. Do a bungee jump / other equally scary activity.

Although probably not the easiest nor least expensive thing on the list, it's definately sure to reaffirm your friendship if you go through this together, and is definately a story to tell afterwards. Also, if you get people to sponsor you, you can give money to charity too, evoking a feeling of smugness in you and helping a good cause too!

5. Go see a band you've never heard of.

You just might discover a new favourite band, or you may marvel at just how awful they are. A bonding experience either way.

6. Explore a nearby town or city.
Avoid the typical touristy spots and you might just find an amazing new favourite restaurant, shop, or place to go. Me and a friend did this, and found the most fantastically british place that served tea and scones to amazingly dressed ladies wearing top to toe pink and pearls.

7. Visit the beach.
Get a tan, build sandcastles, set up a tent or even get out there and try surfing or jump on a boat, and of course, get some fish and chips and visit the amuseument arcades. Bliss!

8. Bake something.
Cupcakes, cakes, buns.. anything. You might just discover an amazing new talent, and from my experience, even simply not burning things is an accomplishment to feel good about!

9. Have a DIY spa day.
Face masks, hair treatments, ice cream and chocolate are the main components I'd say, along with the mandatory manicures and gossiping galore. Even better if you sneak away from the world and take the afternoon work/college etc, everyone needs a break now and then!

10. Go for lunch and people watch.
Order delicious food and drink, sit by the window and make up stories about the people that pass by. That man in the business suit? He's a secret agent with inside knowledge on alien invasions. That tired young mum? She's having a love affair with George Clooney. You get the idea.

Lots of love..
