Last week I bought the tickets to go, and loads of people on twitter who I follow were going too, then a girl messaged me and asked if I wanted to be in a group chat on twitter and we can all meet up on the day and I was so up for that!
So leading the days up to it we were talking everyday and a friendship began, we are known as The Turtle Squad because we were bit worried on how we would know it was us as we have never met each other before, so we decided to use a code word to know it was us and one of the girls said turtle randomly ever since then we've been The Turtle Squad. We were thinking of loads of idea to represent the turtle and then came up with the idea to buy a inflatable turtle to give to Tanya.
Moving on to the day... I got up and ready, and walked went to the train station and then was told my train was cancelled and had to wait another hour to catch another one it was okay though, then once I got on the train I blew up the turtle I had lots of strange looks and I mean lots...
When I arrived at MK, I went straight into a taxi and went to the shopping centre. Once I arrived I went to get my wristband and book. I was suppose to be meeting Turtle Squad there and then but I was quite late compared to everyone else so I had to line up and get my book and wristband alone with the fricking inflatable turtle in my hand people were giving me some rare looks... Soon after part of the squad came and found me.
We chilled and got group photos and selfies and signed peoples letters with our @'s which were going to be given to Tanya later in the day. We then went and lined up to meet Tanya Burr, we were so excited, I'm not sure how long into queing up it was but Dom came out Tanya's manager well basically the whole of the Brit Crew's Manager, Dom Smales he came round holding a phone recording and I am 100% sure that was a vlog and I tell you now me and one of the girls ran over got in it and then realised he's walking all the way around to our side aswell so we were waiting and he came round and one of the girls got a selfie with him I was dying and he pointed at the turtle and was like huh what the hell is that, it was so funny I've got a video of it and everything!
From then onwards we just queued to meet Tanya and was discussing formations on who's going to go first, they all decided for me to go first as I've got the turtle and I'll explain about the squad, I hate being first so this was a real step, anyway got to meeting her and it was so amazing but I must say it was quite rushed and I must of said about 2/3 words to her I was shaking and stuttering... I bet she thought I was a right weirdo but honestly I have been waiting for this moment for years, so that explains it.
After we met her we just died basically and all fangirled about our signed books even though they kinda didn't spell Tanya Burr they still were signed by her though so it doesn't matter, as we were fangirling DOM CAME OUT AGAIN, so we all started freaking out again and everyone was getting selfies I attempted but he was bombarded by loads of people.
After that it was about the end of the day, it was so amazing to meet Tanya for the 1st time and the squad, we've already said we've got to meet again youtuber related or not!
I didn't really get to speak to Tanya so hopefully later in the year at amity I'll be able to have a good conversation with her! ❤️
