Merry Christmas Minna-san!!!
Today I woke up at 8:40am to the sound of my mobile ringing
Mia woke me XD
I picked up the phone "hello" =_= (half asleep)
"JO ITS CHRISTMAS!!!!!" sweet Jesus is that what she rang me for!?
I laughed "yeah" ^^;
Anyway turns out she had opened everything and was thanking me for
her gifts, she loved the dragon I got her said it really meant something to her
it was basically a TY dragon shes wanted since she was a kid and I found it in a shop
Ive stored it for months! I made her a water melon she loved and the totoro holder well
turns out her dog ran under the sofa with it -__- but anyway i told her i'd call
her back once Id opened my stuff XD
It was a usual morning of having pets in and stuff
I ended up letting Tiffin inside as it started raining
he was one wet little prince X3
I showed him his present but he wasnt impressed with it in the slightest >.>
The girls got for their christmas a wicker tube and some new greens to try
they didnt think much to the greens so we let them try parsnip and they loved it
even tiffin liked it ^^
After I took Tiffin home I got dressed and we started opening presents!
Each year Im shocked to how much I get as I tell everyone especially my mum
not to get me too much! but it seems it was ignored again.....
I dont usually do this, but I took photos of what I got.Its a good way as well for me
to remember what I got and from who
My brother gave me my first Noragami manga Im so gonna collect these bad boys now!!
and he gave me some body butter- soap and glory which is miracle stuff!
Mia gave me 6 tins of different hot chocolates!!! and a really cute cotton spool necklace :3
Helina gave me a snow man chocolate and some fox fabric :3
Lynn made me another cushion, and gave me a button making kit shes told me to bring over
on New Year's Day
Tara made me a candle, and gave me a bunny make-up set
Karen gave me a matching bunny set and fox gloves :3
Dom gave me a card and inside was £40!!!!! He didnt need to give me so much!!!
His was the only money I got this year :)
I rang Mia and thanked her for my presents and sent many Txts out
Now the rest is from Mum she puts dad's name on the tags too but lets face the presents
are as much as a surprise for me as they are him. He doesnt do anything towards christmas =.=
So I was given~
Noragami manga book 2, a Pink Mascara and a bunny that lights up different colours X3
Hello Tokyo craft book, and a rag rug style make your own bunny kit :D
Kokkuri-san Plushie and a new 3DS game (so glad I got a plushie X3)
Striped Hama Beads, craft pieces and new clay tools!
After we opened presents mum and dad were going for a walk
i knew id need to do some for of exercise today so I joined them
it was dull as walking with dad usually is
its like owning a dog, he whines and sleeps and is around your feet until
you take him out somewhere =.=
Came home and I had a quick lay down before dinner
which was massive I just about ate it all mums cooking is always good ^^
then I died of stomach ache for over an hour
watched Paul O grady's dogs I didnt know there was gonna be a christmas special :3
we watched it whilst eating the cake I made yesterday
and now were just chilling out
its been lovely and quiet and made a good change
but something that doesnt change each year is the sheer crap they put on the telly!
Last night was good as there was an 8 out of 10 cat xmas special
and theres gonna be another on new years eve i believe
not sure whats happening tomorrow tho~
still theres no family to please so I imagine its another day of pleasing one's self
id like to do some sewing :3
It's almost christmas!!
You would not believe the time I woke today....
9:50am!!! ah shocking thats practically 10am!!!!
Mum came and woke me with Millie
Millie climbed into bed with me!!! shes such a cutie pie X3
I'd had a bad night sleep. And I woke up to the sound of music :/
it made me sit bolt upright I listened out for it and my first thought was
"i've left my DS or Ipod on!" as they were the technology closest to me
and it sounded like technology it didnt sound like radio music kinda thing
then it changed tune and faded out. dead werid. i stayed away for sometime then
mum heard it too but didnt stay awake. nether of us knew what the hell it was.
So I got up and went on my laptop, typed up some recipes
and when mum had finished making the stuffing I went and baked a cake
each christmas we had sponge and custard as our pudding as no one like
christmas pudding or christmas cake
So I made it. I usually make it but sometimes mum does, so I got my apron on
and got to work. I decorated it too. Ta-da
Looks so good I just wanna eat the damn thing now!!!
Tomorrow Im not sure weather to ether have a pajama day as ive never
spent christmas in pajamas before. or so get dressed with make-up hair the lot
mum didnt think highly of pajamas XD but she told me not to bother with make-up :/
Anyway so in the afternoon I went for a walk round the block with mum
whilst the sun was out. Dad tagged along >.>
When we got home dad wanted his car key looking better so I baked clay
over the top of it like my pikachu key. he was very impressed and dad is
NEVER impressed with me :3
we had pizza for dinner~
tomorrow is the big day huh it will all be over this time tomorrow
its gonna be so werid tomorrow. the last time it was just the 4 of us
was 18 years ago!!
so yeah it will ether be dead nice and relaxing or dead dull
im guessing the latter!
Otsukarare~
Today mum woke me >.> I said i'd tackle the shops with her
man I know you have to leave food shopping til last minute because
of things staying fresh etc. But people shop like theres gonna be ban
on food for weeks!! shops are back open on the 27th! if not the 26th!!
It was rammed and we were there before 10am!
It was a joy but we got it done. I was exhausted that shop is huge!
Came home and I wasnt hungry despite not eating breakfast ether
so I went to bed X3 and woke up feeling better and got something to eat.
Then me and mum went for a walk round the block seeing as the sun was out
I couldnt be bothered but I knew I should go.
Once home I started making a make-up brush roll.
I have one, Mia has one since she commissioned me to make her one.
Then last night she asked me to make one for her cousin
Talk about last minute!! I could have been lazy and done it after christmas
but no I got it done. All I was told was to make it red.
so here we are:
Pretty sweet and simple I think
Im taking it over to hers in 10 minutes
as Im going over to hers to make pasta dinner, swap presents then Helina
is gracing us with her presence.
Tomorrow it's christmas eve!
Tiffin has got an upset garden :( really bad
we're wondering if he's ate something dodgey in the garden :/
or just too many treats X3
Good Evening~
I woke up a lil late today so I didnt really get to spend
anytime with mum this morning before she went work
but I was still there for the piggies :3
I think Millie is trying to find her voice X3
I went upstairs and wrote out a recipe of those cookies I made
on Sunday, Lynn wanted the recipe.
Typing it up gave me a great idea. For mother's day next year
I plan to type up all of mum's recipes from her recipe folder.
she keeps a plain plastic folder wallet thing with recipes shes got from
people and clippings shes cut out of supermarket books with recipes on.
so its all a bit of a mess. So I'm gonna type them all up and make them look pretty :3
I wrote 3 recipes up today but got distracted ><
I then had 20mins to myself so I danced hard downstairs
worked up a sweat and i enjoyed myself ^^ but then my bro came home
and the happy bubble popped. besides i was at my limit my hands were shaking ><
so I got lunch at that point~
Dom texted me to say he's got a few hours to kill. I thought he was off with
me last night when we were txting so I wasnt expecting to see him, but he came
over to see me so it was all last minute but it worked out well. I have to see him
whenever I can what with him living down in London.
So we swapped presents too :3
we talked and went for a lil walk as I couldnt sit there all afternoon.
When we got back we were just winding each other up. And i know he's
been lonely and having a tough time with relationships or lack of.
So I wanted to cheer him up best I could today. Today I had to shine extra bright
I wanted to make him smile.
Best way to make someone smile is to play fight. What started as a bit of poking and
a bit cushion throwing turned into a wrestle on the floor XD
it was so much fun my stomach muscles were killing me. mum was in the
next room I imagined her rolling her eyes XD
So the play fight went on, but what I like about dom is that hes very much
a gentlemen. He doesnt make any grabs or gropes as most guys would use the
opportunity to touch a girl when so close. But not dom. There was no inappropriate touching.
But it did end with me being flat on my chest and face with dom pinning my arms to the floor
which his leg in my back with his body weight on saying "admit defeat"
man oh man do I hate admitting defeat. And when did he become so damn strong!?
I dont ever recall losing to dom haha XD so after a few more minutes of struggling
I admitted defeat. my pride is wounded. But i told him next time he comes over..
ROUND 2 Ding Ding Ding!!! X3
But it cheered him up big style so in that respect I achieved my target :)
He left and its just the usual evening now
I plan on painting my nails tonight.
Tomorrow I am going with mum to do the last food shop before christmas -___-
then in the evening Im making pasta dinner with Mia and Helina is joining
us later, we're swapping xmas pressies.
speaking of xmas here's the living room I dressed up~
KOnbanWA Minna~
I slept pretty crummy, like woke up to ever sound >.>
But I was up in time to help with the piggies :)
Lily was really hormonal today she was constantly trying to mate with Pinky =.=
Im like "stop playing kiss chase! thats your sister!!"
but she really had it in for poor pinky, pinky was getting so cross with lily
even when we took them home my mum told me to check on them
to make sure they werent fighting or anything but they were fine :)
forever sisters~
I set to work cleaning my room this morning
I always do it before christmas I like it to be all tidy and fresh :3
I even did the window which killed off my arm but my god the cloth was black!!
how filthy were my windows!? so thats a good job done :)
And my room is tidier and dust free~
I had lunch and sat with the pigs whilst reading and playing Pokemon
I did a bit of dancing on got one out of two recorded. I hope to
get the other one done but I havent done a christmas song this year!! D:
Later went for a walk with mum for 30mins
i was happy going by myself but she came with me :3
I wrapped Mia's birthday present I hope she likes what I got her
I feel bad cus I dont feel like ive been able to splash out on people's gifts
this year cus im having to watch my money.. i wish i had some form of income
but my mum keeps telling me "money isnt everything" no but it does help -__-
Havent planned my day tomorrow
been enjoying just taking it easy~
oh and here's my christmas tree this year, each year i make something new for it
its no longer just blue and white its quite multi coloured ^^" not very traditional looking i know
but were not a traditional family and the tree is my creation!
EvEvInG
I slept pretty well last night think I was exhausted,
I woke up at 8am so good time ^^
and the morning became even better as we were able to put the guinea pigs
outside!! for time in a long time we have been able to put them straight outside
in the morning, they enjoyed it :)
I was off to Lynn's for 12:00 for Sunday Lunch, I feel bad going
up empty handed so I reluctantly baked some flapjack cookies
they were nice and I did double mix so my family could have some too
but I ended up doing them far too big so they are cookies not biscuits XD
alwell still taste great ^^
I got to lynn's for 12 and I was greeted by Toddie bless him
he cant leave me alone constantly wants fuss and playing with XD
Lynn gave me a bag of presents but also 2 cushions she has made
and wanted me to have them as shes been working on em a while
and theyre beautiful shes done me a bunny one
and a snowman one
the bunnies are hand sewn!!! its soooo neat!!! must have taken her ages
but she said she enjoyed doing it.
the red thread on white is called "red work"
So I put them on my bed
and then Tiffin checked em out XD
So whilst at lynns we talked and did a bit of hand sewing
in front of the TV, lunch was amazing as always
we at 2:30ish and by 3pm my stomach starting killing me
i was like "seriously!?" i thought i was getting over it =.=
so i sat there til 5pm til I could take no more I had to leave
I NEEDED the toilet and bad
i drove crouched up in my seat.
got home threw my coat and bag on the floor and ran up to the bathroom
it was that bad. i felt so sick at lynns i couldnt keep it together much longer
and i went for a shower and pjs afterwards and caught up with the pets :)
lynn invited me over for dinner on new years day too!
not sure what im doing tomorrow but will find something to do
i need to record dances!
Good evening~
I slept pretty bad last night >.>
i kept waking up with a blocked nose and a mouth like a dessert...
mum says i was snoring this morning!! probably cus i couldnt breathe ><
When I woke up I got up and went to put my socks on and lost
my balance and fell on my bed and ricked my neck DX
life is so cruel so ive had a ricked neck since the moment i woke up
after i had cleaned my pets out i set to work making this
i shall explain. All the pets we have lost have a lil token version
of themselves on the christmas tree, to remind us of them
and as we lost Hazel this year I needed to make a token decoration for her
so here she is hung up on the tree :)
I thought I'd photograph them all actually so here's Sky
Nutty
Buttons
Popuri
Kip
makes our tree even more unique and special
mum loved what I did for hazel :)
I'll upload photos of my tree tomorrow
then I went for a walk I didnt want to but I got it out the way
whilst the weather was fairly decent
Then I was sat drawing a geisha girl for a friend
at 4pm I had a hair cut~
I was in and out like a flash, i gave them the reef I made them and I made my
hairdresser speechless she loved it so much. they all did. and i think its more
special than a box of chocolates or a tip
came home and sat with my prince and the girls X3
had dinner i need a shower then playing pokemon hopefully!
tomorrow Im going to lynn's for 12:00
shes feeding my sunday lunch!!! and were gonna swap our xmas pressies too
should be a nice afternoon
