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?;

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and an even better New Year :)

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.

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 :)
