Blogmas Day 20: Christmas Catch Ups



HI HUMANS, ELVES and REINDEER,

Today may be the day where I start to actually catch up on posts which will be an actual Christmas miracle but overall I'm pretty chuffed with how Blogmas is going and although it seems like I started it ages ago it also seems like "oh wow it's the 20th" and I just can't really fathom how quick everything is going. It seems so crazy! I may be in a complete rut after today for posts on Blogmas but I will get there, there's only a few days left so I must not give up now.

But anyway, as Christmas approaches it is the perfect time to have a bit of a catch up and see how people are doing. The season of good will and all. This year this all seems kind of different because now everyone has bobbied off to university and whatnot so it's like a proper grown up catch up instead of just "I saw you last week at school but hi". I don't know it's just all different and exciting.

I'm working everyday this week in the run up to Christmas, but I managed to see one of my friends before I went to work on Tuesday and it was so so so lovely to have a catch up. I feel like the great thing about this friendship is that we don't have to talk to each other all the time and know every single thing going on in each other's lives because it doesn't change our friendship. We made lunch, cheese and ham toasties (fun fact: I have loved cheese and ham toasties for as long as I can remember and remember my Nana and Grandad and Nan making them for me when I was little but I had no clue how to make one until the other day - it was a big achievement for me). And made sausage rolls. And made a fruit salad. Just generally had a catch up and it was lovely, we also took an obligatory reunion selfie (if you're ever struggling for good lighting then use the fridge, works a dream).

Personally, I like to think of the whole festive period as the time for settling the year down and getting ready for a new one, so I obviously need to catch up with important people before the end of the year to continue with them in the new year. That kind of makes sense to me, I don't really know if it makes sense to anyone else but a lot of things I say don't tend to make any sense.

If you're still here 20 days later after I've posted every day then thank you sooooo much! I appreciate you all.

Until tomorrow,
Lia x

P.S. I HAVE AN EXCITING UPDATE REGARDING FESTIVE JEWELLERY. My mum works with a lovely lady, I mean I've never met her but she seems lovely (this opinion was decided prior to her helping a struggling student), and she has been reading my Blogmas posts and bought me some festive earrings. Honestly, my Christmas has been made. Thank you so much, Rachelle! If there was an Elf of the Month (Santa may have them you never know) then you deserve it.
There's 3 earrings in the pack and it just so happens I have 3 piercings in my ears so...

Phrases I Hate

Hey Earthlings! We all have those phrases or quotes or sometimes just words that when we hear them it makes our blood boil and our neck do that funny thing where you kind of go "bleurghuohui". You know what I mean? I've taken a few of them, listed them here and told you exactly why I hate them. Let me know if there's some more you hate. "There's someone out there worse off than you" Yes, this may be the case and I hope they come out of their situation feeling all the joys of spring but just because there is someone out there with more issues than you're feeling, it does not mean your experiences and feelings are invalid. If you are trying to comfort someone and make them feel better about their situation in what way is, "ah well don't worry, Tina down the road is way worse off than you are" going to make them feel better? EXACTLY. It won't. End of, let's just entirely blow this phrase away. "Respect your elders"...

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019

Hello Earthbugs! I'm back and hopefully this upcoming year will be a lot better post wise than 2018, if I tell you the truth I don't really know what happened. Quite a few times during 2018 I felt all out of sorts and not really motivated to do anything, which for me is horrible because I thrive off having a goal to get and so on. Writing has always been a passion of mine and my blog allows me to have my own little space on the internet which I have always loved the idea of so 2019 is definitely the year that I attempt to throw myself back into blogging. I hope you're happy to come along on that journey with me! I decided to combine the goodbye 2018 post and hello 2019 post instead of doing separate posts this time, so feel free to grab yourself a cup of tea or something stronger if you like and let's go. 2018. I think I can safely say that 2018 hasn't been the year for my family, we have gone through a lot of battles and hard times and somehow come out of t...

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...
