Blogmas Day 16: Reverse Advent

Elfy Elflings,

If you have been reading my blogs a while then you will know that I like to promote helping people and feel very happy when I can help someone in need. I did a post a few weeks ago regarding helping the homeless and those struggling around the festive period. You can read it here.

We all take it for granted really, we go and do a massive shop and add extras to the trolley just because "it's Christmas". But other people don't have that luxury and some can't even manage to give their family a proper meal on Christmas Day, nevermind a big fancy turkey dinner. Now I wish I could hide somewhere out and get all these people together and serve them a full Christmas dinner with pigs in blanket and Christmas pudding and everything. I can't do this. So me and my mum helped by doing a reverse advent calendar, as my mum is a CI in the local air cadet squadron (shoutout to 331) she managed to get some donations from the cadets as well.

My mum dropped all our donations off on Friday, I had to go to university though for a couple of hours so I missed going, which is typical. But they were really grateful and I'm glad we managed to help people less fortunate than ourselves. I aim to help more next year for the food bank and such.

That's our first Reverse Advent done!

Until tomorrow,

Doris goes to see Captain Marvel | FILM REVIEW

Hello dearies! I hear the new film that's 'hot on the block' recently is this Captain Marvel one, and little old Doris does like to be hip, trendy and down with the kids *throws the equivalent of a swagger sign* so decided to hop on the bandwagon and go along, booking myself in for the 12.00 (pm just to clarify) showing at the local cinema. I'm currently cutting down on the whole chocolate/cake/biscuits scene, so sneaked a small tub of Pringles into the cinema with me...I have to say, I felt like a bit of a rebel eating food that I'd bought from somewhere else whilst inside the cinema, it was an adrenaline rush! If you're wondering what flavour Pringles they were, I obviously chose the best ones aka sour cream and onion as I'm not some sort of monster. Anyway, I did buy one of those Tango Ice thingymabobs as I hear that's too what the cool kids like to have at the cinema. I could only have cherry though as the machine wasn't working properly, t

End of Summer Catch Up

Hello Earthlings, One I know this post is late and last weeks was early but from this Sunday it will be back to normal and two please don't be upset with the title of this blog as I hate to tell all of you summer lovers but summer is nearing the end...well for 2016 anyway but saying summer 2017 seems a little bit too far away right now. I thought that I would take some time now to have a catch up, through the screens of our technical devices, before the new season is upon us. I have to say, I personally love the changing of the seasons, for any season not just for the end of the summer to the beginning of autumn but for all of them. I don't really have a favourite season because I love the perks of all of them; autumn means the leaves change colours and Halloween and Bonfire Night, winter means cold weather, cosiness, Christmas and New Year, spring means lighter nights, Easter and new life and summer means hot weather, relaxing and of course a lot of time off (well for now,

Hello Earthlings! As I sit and type this I'm tucked up cosy in bed and listening to the wind batter everything in sight, and it doesn't matter that today I turned 20 because the wind still scares me so I'm still going to tuck up as tight as I can and try my best to ignore it after I've typed this. But, anyway! Hi. Birthdays are a funny thing, you know they're going to happen and you know that you get older but they're a bit odd. When I was little, I looked forward to being a teenager which in itself is completely barmy (maybe I'm the only one intimidated by groups of teenagers...), and I always thought "13 is such a grown up age!!!" because 6 year old me was clearly clueless. I remember a particular time where I stood looking out of my bedroom window, in the house I lived in as a young child, wistfully into the distance (you know like they do on films where it gets to a real deep moment?) and couldn't wait for 13 to arrive so I could be a &
