Blogmas Day 7: Preparation

Elflings,

Tomorrow is the day that the Greens go festive aka I wrap myself up in tinsel, lights and wear baubles as earrings and sing Christmas songs very loud and very out of tune whilst we put the decorations up. My original plan for today's post was going to be a gingerbread house, but it hasn't been made yet ha so PLOT TWIST, it's a shorter post than usual with a me not shoving Christmas down your throat quite as much.

I decided to give this post the title "preparation" because really that's what my evening has consisted of. My mum likes to completely blitz the living room before we put the decorations up, so that happened, and we found a spider that ended up getting run over by a cabinet (accidentally) and somehow survived with a possible broken leg. Mummy G did the good deed and put it outside whilst I screamed on the sofa thinking it was going to attack me.

All this happened whilst DJ Lia was flicking through music channels and singing Christmas songs very loud and very out of key. It is a very good job we live in a detached house.

I'm sure you have guessed that tomorrow's post will be completely dedicated to putting the Christmas decorations up so you'll have lots of lovely photos of the tree and Santa and tinsel and me attempting to put tinsel on the dog and her not cooperating (happens every year).

I really hope they're wrong about the weather that's meant to be coming over the weekend because I don't fancy the snow, which is odd because I used to love it but now I'm at the age where it's a bit eh. I can't wake up on a weekday and wait for the local radio station to announce that my school isn't going to open today. Every time I try and build a snowman, it fails. And, it's bloody cold but that's obvious. I like looking at snow and I love seeing my dog in it because she loves it, and to a certain extent I do like it. I just like it where it doesn't really cause too much damage to my plans or my family's plans and whatnot, but as you get older I think it just gets in the way. Also, I do not want to try and drive in the snow, me and Tilly (the Toyota) will not have a good time.

My plan tomorrow is to aim to get lot's of things ticked off various to-do lists in terms of trying to complete Christmas buying and whatnot and cards and uni stuff because apparently that isn't put on hold for me to do exciting Christmas things...rude.

Until tomorrow,
Lia x

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,...

Helping brings happiness

Hey there Earthling cheesecakes, I sit here and I'm conscious that I have a mountain of uni stuff to read on this reading week and I'm also conscious that I didn't post on my blog last week and although I don't mind missing a week because I'm busy and didn't want to rush a post, I also hate missing a week because I feel like I'm letting myself down. So here I am before I get lost in a book that weights at least 4 stone, posting this weeks update and it's an important one.  Right now it's the 9th of November and I'm sat here in my room looking out the window to a grey and murky day. It's definitely time for the big coat to come out, and I now have to sit and wait a bit for my windscreen to clear. The festive menus have arrived in Starbucks and I can highly recommend the Fudge Hot Chocolate. The Christmas adverts are starting to come on TV and everywhere is starting to get a bit more magical as the build up to festivities begin.  Unfortuna...

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...
