I burnt my hand :(
Well, actually, I burnt across the back of my fingers. It hurt.
I've been baking today. Me and Sarah made a corned beef and potato pie and a cheese and onion quiche. Then I made cheese and onion pasties, chorizo and bean pasties, 24 fairy cakes and I have meringues in the oven :)
No photos though, I can't be arsed to take any.
I'm going to proper knuckle down and "revise" for my theory test. Sooner I get it over and done with the better. Then I pass my bloody test!

Hey mom, there's something in the back room
Argh I have cold feet! lol.
My socks are in the dryer because the snow invaded my boots.
Me, Bethany and Kayleigh went to the park today to build a snowman. Bethany was quite happy building snowcastles with her bucket and spade, so me and Kayleigh got cracking with the snowman. He was well sexy.
We started having a snowball fight and some random kids decided to join in. It's a good job they were little or I wouldn't have played haha. I'm such a bad loser. Kayleigh was catching my snowballs and throwing them back to me! I fail.
We had to come home after that though because Jade came along to ruin things.
I was going to bake shortbread and fairy cakes but there's no gas ...which doesn't help the cold feet situation. I should go to the shop and get some more but meh.

I'm that chord on your guitar..
I've been well busy today!
Me, my sister and Bethany went shopping this morning. Nothing exciting, just a bog standard food shop. Though I did buy some ingredients to make cupcakes. My recipe let me down, the frosting is shit. It's supposed to be proper frosting, like they have in America, but it just looks like melted chocolate...If anyone has a good frosting recipe, send me it please :)
I made about 48 cakes though lol. They're really yummy. The chocolate ones are quite rich but I haven't tried the vanilla ones yet, i'll probably end up being sick if I eat anything else hah. My sister wanted to make pie and quiche too, so I had to make pastry. I'm covered in flour.

Twilight.
So, i'm like totally obsessed.
I want an Edward Cullen. Actually, no, I want the Edward Cullen.
He's amazing.
I started reading the book on Friday and i'm almost finished it now.
I've watched the movie twice but I still want to see it at the Cinema. Someone needs to come with me to see it!
Hah, it's quite sad that I have nothing else to write about...
Tomorrow i'm baking :) Chocolate cupcakes and corned beef pie. nomnomnom.

IT'S CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS...eve.
Today has been a little bit pants.
I thought it was getting better this afternoon but, no.
Me, Bethany and Kayleigh made mince pies and chocolate chip cookies earlier...we're going to leave some out for Santa tonight and we're having milk and cookies before bed :)
We watched Polar Express this afternoon which was nice, it felt really Christmassy. Then we went to my house to pick up all my presents for people and my clothes and stuff. It's wierd knowing that i'm not going to wake up in my own house on Christmas day...
I spoke to my bestest bitch on the phone tonight and she's just as excited about Christmas as I am. I just hope it doesn't suck as much as I think it will...
How cute is this?;

3 Sleeps 'Til Christmas!!
YAY!
Only 3 sleeps to go!
Today has been quite good :)
I met up with an old friend from school - Grace - and we went to a cafe to chat, then our other friend - Claire, and her boyfriend - came to join us. It was really nice to see them again. I was really nervous about it because I don't think i've seen Grace in about 7 years? And the last time I saw Claire I was very drunk and probably made a complete arse of myself...the fact that I remember going back to my sisters house and throwing up down the side of the bed not long after seeing her makes me think I definately did something embarrassing.
I think I realised how much of a loser I am hah. I can't drive, I don't have a job, I don't have any proper friends who live local...just Lizzy who I see maybe twice a year? So yeah, I have like, nothing going for me. (Y).
I went shopping for a few bits and pieces after that which was a complete nightmare. Every shop was packed. But I made it home eventually and spent the afternoon baking with my mum. We made about 160 chocolate chip shortbread biscuits! We put them in little cellophane bags and tied them with green ribbon, then attatched the Christmas tags I made (ALL BY MYSELF!!). I made chocolate truffles too which were quite successful...nothing like my many previous attempts! I put some in cellophane bags to give as little presents and the rest I put in petit four cake cases (those little ones...) and put in a box in the fridge for my auntie and uncle to scoff when they come over on Boxing Day :)
On Christmas Eve i'm going to make cookies and mince pies with my neice :) It'll be nice cos she'll be able to leave one out with some milk for Santa and the magic hay for Rudolph! (What happened to just giving him carrots??) I hope she'll be as excited as I am though.
And now i'm very jealous about something which is making things very awkward. Go me!
Peace.
