The farm.

Today I went to the farm with my neice and my brother in law :)

We took my neice to see Santa but she was scared of him haha. I don't blame her, he was quite scary! We went into his "grotto" and wrote him a letter. Then we went to the petting barn and some goats tried to eat us lol. One of them tried to get the bag of food I bought to feed them with out of my pocket! They were cute though.. We seen some lizards and gekos...and a tarantula. sadface. They even had skunks! They also had chicks, rabbits, mice, rats, guinea pigs, birds and turkeys! There were two ickle pigs in a pen too!! I was excited thinking that i'd be allowed to hold them...seeing as they were in the "petting barn" but no, the evil elf bitch wouldn't let me. sadface. Instead, I sat next to them for about half an hour feeding them and letting them bite me...i'm nice like that. They were just so CUTE!

They had loads of stuff that they didn't have when we visited in the summer...They had cows, horses, sheep, reindeer and quite a few llamas. We saw some wallabies too! Some of the gorgeous piggies from the pig stable had gone missing though :(.

That's my hand!!

So after someone ripping the arse of their jeans, someone falling over a lot of times in the mud and a horse trying to chew my jumper we decided to go home. We'd been there for 2 hours though so no one was complaining...apart from me and Bethany.

OOH! & I took THE best photo of a llama that i'm going to make into an icanhascheezburger.com picture!
I actually took that photo!!

Tonight i'm going for coffee with Lizzy. Starbuckspls.

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.

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 :(.
