The Chickens

I'm in bed at the minute next to Adam, who's fast asleep and has been for about 45 minutes. It's too early for me to feel properly tired, so I'm just messing about online on my iPod.

I've just changed positions and snuggled up closer to him. Adam often talks a lot in his sleep; in fact last night he actually sung a song lol andwhen I cuddled up to him just now, he said "what?" but I knew he was just asleep so I just said "I love you" to see if he'd reply or not.

I can't stop laughing, because Adam then said "have you broken it's neck yet?" I said "what's neck?" and he said "the chickens!"

What on earth is that boy dreaming about?!

Christmas 2008

How was your Christmas? Mine was good!

I got some really lovely pressies, I got:

An iPod touch
A CD player for my car
Some gorgeous diamond earrings from Adam
Loads of Urban Decay make up from my best friend
Chocolates!
A lava lamp
Pyjamas
DVD's
An Indian recipe book which looks so good, so much gorgeous food!

Everyone loved what I got for them too, which makes me happy. My sisters and I have been having a family photograph done of the three of us in private and we gave it to my Mum and Dad and they loved it!

I know it's late but...

...Happy Halloween!

Alton Towers

I'm a bit pissed off right now. I'm at Alton Towers (a big theme park) at the minute with my friends, but they're going into the Haunted House and it has live actors, which REALLY scares me, I hate it. So, I didn't go in. But I'm annoyed because I've already missed out on two rides today. One because my friend didn't want to go on Air and I felt bad for her sat waiting on her own. And the second because both myself and my friend got into one of the carriages on the ride but due to neither my friend or me being skinny, I couldn't fit my legs into the ride properly coz I'm tall as well, so I got out as I knew she'd been wanting to go on that all day. But they've all just left me sat here! It's absolutely freezing too, and the line is really long so no idea how long they'll be. I thought that was a bit unfair, sometimes it's hard being nice, you always seem to get taken advantage of. The one ride I really, really wanted to go on, we haven't been on at all! It'll be our last ride of the day too, we're off home after this. It's a good job we got the tickets half price otherwise I'd have been so annoyed!

Update!

I forgot to bring my book to work today, which means I am now only 20 minutes into my lunchbreak and very bored. Work here is attrocious; it's so boring and I've had so little training I'm still not quite sure what it is I'm supposed to be doing. I can't wait for 5 o'clock though, there is a really nice restaurant right by where I work and my mum and dad and sisters are going to meet me there after work for our tea! Then I'm stopping at Adams after. I'm really looking forward to a (hopefully!) nice, quiet, relaxing evening!

A little update

I'm getting a new laptop! Yay! My old one broke in July and I took it to a few places to see how much a repair would cost, but then my dad said he would try and claim on the house insurance for it, and he could and they're delivering me a new one by Tuesday at the latest! A much better one as well. Which is good, my old laptop caused me nothing but trouble. I want to get a case for it as well as I never had one for my old laptop, but I want a nice one so I might look on etsy, or does anyone else have any good ideas for where I can buy them from?

I had an amazing weekend last weekend. My cousins 18th was fun, and I've got a few photos to show you of it. I won the 1st prize for the fancy dress, and it was a £15 asda gift voucher so I took the copy of Sex and the City movie that I bought and exchanged it for the 2 disc special edition, which only ended up costing me £11 altogether, instead of nearly £17! Bargain! Then on Sunday, me and Adam went to the cinema and pizza hut with my little sister and her friend which was really fun, and Adam bought me a new hat and mittens for the winter as it's really starting to get cold now, don't you think?

I've started going back to college as well, I'm doing a part time evening course in Photography and I'm really enjoying it. I should post some of my photos I've done from it so far!

Apart from that though, I haven't really been doing much apart from working and making plans for Christmas! I'm looking forward to this weekend though, I haven't really got anything planned but I'm going to do more Christmas stuff, put some work into my blog, take some photos for college, and do a load of baking!

Photo's below!

NZ update

I'm in the mountains on the south island of New Zealand... and it's cold! The clothes I have don't even begin to cut it in terms of keeping my warm! I'm having a good time though, which is the most important thing!

This is just a quick non-update really, I can't believe in 11 days I'll be home!

An update!

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned, but I’ve been getting into the spirit of Christmas a little early this year. About seven months early, in fact!

I blame the weather. The fact that it’s turning cold and frosty here is making me feel like Christmas is just around the corner. It’s hard getting used to the opposite seasons! It wasn’t bad in Australia , I never really felt it. Winter there didn’t really feel that much different to the British summer! The mornings and evenings would be a bit on the chilly side but the days could still get really warm. But it’s a little colder here in New Zealand . I’ll be walking down the street to work, and all of a sudden “All I want for Christmas is you” will pop into my head, or I’ll start to wonder what presents I should get my sisters!

Hopefully, I’ve found a solution now though! This weekend Adam and I caught a ferry out to Waiheke Island (which is where the photo was taken!) and we saw a flyer for… a Christmas party! It’s on a boat that sails around the harbour, and you get a Christmas dinner and drinks and they play Christmas songs all night. I’m going to buy the tickets today, I’m hoping that if I go it will get Christmas out of my system for a while; that I’ll be able to trick myself into believing that it has been Christmas so I can think about something else!

I guess there’s nothing wrong with getting into the Christmas spirit a little early though, at least it makes me want to be kind! Especially as (with all the thinking about it I’ve been doing) I’ve decided that I want to make homemade gifts for everyone this year, I’ll have to make a start as soon as I get home anyway!
