"Please Sir, Can We Have A Greggs?"

I love going to see the Christmas display in Fenwicks window in Newcaslte but it's REALLY annoying when you try to take a photo and all you can see is the "Greggs" or "Burger King" reflection. This years display is Oliver! and I really don't think there was a Greggs opposite the boy's home taunting them when all they got was gruel! Still, i think my photographs turned out alright considering...

I think Eoghan has been taking tips from a certain episode of Friends...

WHY?!

It makes my eyes and ears bleed.
She ruined a perfectly amazing song.
Thanks.

Christmas...

I go on about Christmas a LOT but it really is my favourite :)
Today i've been shopping and bought my presents that I didn't really need to buy, wrapped presents that my mum has bought (including my own which kinda sucks..) and indulged in a cup of tea and a sweet mince pie :)

This time next week the (new, smaller) Christmas tree will be up (deorated with the new, pretty decorations), my christmas cards will be posted and the whole house will have that fake "everything-will-be-ok-because-its-nearly-christmas" feel.

Tomorrow i'm going to my sister's house to see the "spooky man". I think his professional term is a "Medium", but whatever. Should be good :)

I'm feeling really lonely at the moment and there's nothing on TV so I think it's an early night with a book.
Comments to cheer me up?
Thanks.

My Favourite Thing About Christmas...

I have a new favourite thing every day, but today, my favourite thing about Christmas is having a sweet mince pie and a cup of tea :)

Christmas

I spent this weekend making an advent calendar for my neice.
I like the sentiment behind a "material" calendar rather than the usual chocolate ones and the fact that it's home made just makes it a little bit more special. I hope she likes it...
To be fair, she's 2 years old and it'll be full of chocolate so she'll probably LOVE it but I hope in a few years when she can understand the sentiment behind it that she'll appreciate it.

I have chocolate coins to go in pockets 1-17, then chocolate christmas bars to go in pockets 18-24 followed by a big chocolate Santa to go in number 25 :)

Niiiiiiice.

Come Back Fern!

Over at Heatworld.com they think something fishy is going on with Fern. Personally, I lovelovelove Fern and considering she's just completed a charity cycle race, I think she should be entitled to a break! 3 weeks to spend with her husband and children is not a lot to ask and they have that Ruth (yak!) to cover for her?
On the other hand...just incase something IS going on...

COME BACK SOON FERN!
WE LOVE YOU!

P.S. Get back on Ready Steady Cook!

What a pile of shit?

I love Gok Wan, but I think he's a bit of a twat for doing this.

So what if a lot of narrow minded people don't think it's acceptable to put a "fatty" on the front of a magazine cover? Being a fatty myself, I don't understand the NEED to be accepted by society?
If people don't wish to accept me, that's their perogative? And if i feel the need to change to "fit in" and be more socially acceptable, I will? I'm dieting at the moment, but for nobody but myself.

Who gets to decide who is socially acceptable? Who gets to decide what body shape looks good and what doesn't?

If people are happy, leave them be...

Damaged.

I'm a total geek for books and this weekend i've been reading one called "Damaged" by Cathy Glass.

It's been passed around the family a bit and i think it was in the box of stuff we planned on taking to the car boot sale at one point, but it made it's way to my sister's bathroom and me, my sister, my brother in law...and anyone else who graces the bathroom with their presence has been reading it. I'm only about half way through but it's really shocking.

Abuse is an awful thing to read, hear about or experience and child abuse is hard for any person to comprehend... With all the stories about Baby P circulating at the moment its difficult to understand how anyone could do such things to another human, let alone one so innocent and fragile...worse still, how could Social Services let it happen under their noses?!

I think this re-inforces what I want to be "when i grow up". A foster carer.

I'd probably cope better with toddlers or older children...not babies, but its something I wanted to do when I was younger. I just passed it off as "one of those things"... afterall, i've wanted to be an air hostess, a teacher...anything else my sister wanted to be, but if I could fast forward the next 20 years of my life, i'd be a foster carer in a heart beat.

Scary Shit!

Being in a car that decides to display THIS;

is some seriously scary shit!

WOW.

I've just got back from the doctor where I saw THIS;















Words cannot describe the excitement.
I'm sure you can feel my disappointment when "Melanie Brown" turned out to be a scrawny white girl and not "Scary Spice" Mel B as my heart hoped and my head imagined.
Sad faces all round :(.

When i grow up...

People always say you should be happy with what you've got... Well, like most people, i'm not. After much consideration... i think if i could look like anyone it'd probably be Selena Gomez. I wont compliment her too much as i think she's still a "minor" but she's a veryyyyy pretty girl! I'm very jealous of her hair and she has a gorgeous face!

So, who do you want to look like?

But more importantly...why?
Comments please! & Don't forget to add photos :)
Peace xo
