* In the 12th month of 2004 I first met the lads in Holland when they were here for promo work on Allow Us To Be Frank.
* In the 11th month of 2000 I got in contact with another Westlife fan on the official Westlife chat, that concert turned into one of my most treasured friendships with a girl who lives at the other site of the world, back then our only connection being Westlife, now we share everything.
* In the 10th month of 1999 I saw Westlife at a Pepsi pop concert for the first time ever.
* On the 9th day of October I always have a piece of pie to celebrate Nicky's birthday, people look at me funny eating a pie on my own, blowing a candle, but who cares.
* The 8th month of every year is always pretty boring as it's the summer break and there's not a lot of news, when there is news it's very exciting like Nicky and Gina getting married, or Mark revealing he's gay.
* In the 7th month of 2003 my sister took me to my very first out of Holland concert when she had bought us tickets for a show in Newcastle because I'd graduated and turned 18.
* At 6am the train would leave to bring me to the Westlife concerts in Holland as early as possible.
* On the 5th day of July I always feel extra connected to Shane as we both have birthday on that day.
* In the 4th month of 2006 I first made the trip to Dublin to see the Westlife tour in The Point Depot. After that it became and will remain a yearly trip.
* In the 3rd month of 2005 Westlife gave their last official tour concert in Holland.
* It takes me 2 hours to reach the houses of my 2 closest friend I met through Westlife and share all my Westlife moments with ever since we met.
* On the 1st day of may 2007 we sat on the 1strow at the Westlife tour in The Point Depot for the very 1st time at a concert outside of Holland.
