Blogmas Day 8: DECORATIONS

ELFLINGS,

EVERYTHING IS SHOUTY TODAY BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS ALL EXCITING SO BOM BOM BOM, THE GREENS ARE FESTIVE. The tree is currently twinkling away whilst the advent candle is burning down, the dog is snoring and I am feeling so very Christmassy.

I absolutely love the day where all the decorations go up, although our realisation today is that we have far too many festive tea light holders but they do look all cosy together (they aren't lit). Surrounded by advent calendars, and little Lindt reindeer and a Santa, and our little ceramic gingerbread house full of Heroes and OH, it is all wonderful. I don't know what it is about the warm glow of the Christmas tree but everything is just instantly 10x cosier and I'm running out of amazing words without sounding like a crazy woman.

After the tree went up I successfully managed to sort my clothes out and there's a bag ready to donate to charity, very productive if I say so myself. Then me and Jack went on an adventure to East Midland's Outlet just for a run out and because Jack had a day off and we managed to get some Christmas presents, so now to wrap those. I also had my 67th (approximate guess) Fudge Hot Chocolate from Starbucks and they spelt my name wrong, as usual, but they did put a little heart after it so I forgave them. Spreading Christmas cheer.

I shall bid you all farewell with some festive pictures of the decorations!!

Until tomorrow,

Twenty

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 ...

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,...

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"...
