Thanks for all my lovely presents!!!

18th December....

...Da'n fore da'n fore da'n fore da'n fore da'n fore da'n fore doppareda'n (blev det ratt?!?!)

 

Har handlat vara sista presenter idag, trooor jag ialla fall..... Phew!

 

Here's an update on what we've been doing:

 

Saturday: Col went on the train to Stevenage to pick up Sammie. He came to spend the weekend with us which was really nice. We made soft gingerbread cake and lussekatter, and Col taught him how to use Flash a little bit - he made a funny Christmas message. What is it with 11 year old boys though? Gore, gore, gore! Hahah! The bloodier the better! Oh! Col made burgers for dinner and it was quite nice indeed. Watched Constantine and Sam got freaked out a little I think! Ate too many sweets too....

 

Sunday: Bit busy morning. Met Matty and got the train to Stevenage. Got picked up by Chris and Kirsty and off to Walkern! Had a biiiig feast, early Christmas feast, ooh! Lovely! Sandie's trifle was the best ever, secret ingredient being Sloe Gin : ) Got a load of pressies too! Col got sooo many tools! No more excuses for not getting stuff fixed (nah, he's good really). Got a lovely puffy from Sam too... we only opened a couple of pressies, 'cos really it's against my beliefs! Hehhe! Went to a candle lit carol service in the church too. Never been to one before and it was rather nice. Only downside was how cold it was in the church! Used my candle to warm my hands! Oh, and it smelt a bit mouldy (and of old people too!). I thought I knew a lot of carols and stuff but no.... Could only sing along to 1 or 2..... Nice atmosphere though. Got picked up about 9, bit crackered by then! Stayed the night at Col's Mum's, had a cheese party before bed - which meant Col couldn't sleep! Which of course meant IIIIIII couldn't sleep either!!!! Did have a weird dream about a Chinese martial arts man with gills on his back... Don't ask me how..... 

 

Monday: Got up a bit late (Col anyway), got the bus into town, exchanged some stuff and got the last bits.... Wraps it all up... Now big question - are you allowed to bring alcohol through the airport in your hand luggage??!?! Need to search the net.......

 

See you all sooooon!

 

Oh, newsflash! Matty is joining us in Sweden on the 29th for the NYE celebrations! Ems, I hope that party is still happening! xxxx

Thursday

Col was gonna take me out to Camden Kitchen for our favourite nosh on our special day, but as money is tight we went to Waitrose and picked up some goodies for our feast instead: ) Yum! We didn't eat all day so we really could stuff ourselves! Yum yum! We even had afters! Ooohh! Lovely lovely! Drank some lovely wine too, just such a nice day all in! Thanks my Love!

 

Ohhh! I got a really cool pressie too!!! This Life series 1!!! Yeay!!! You want a copy Ems?

Keep the faith!

Wooooow!!!!!! People are so nice!!! Londoners are so nice!!! When they want to! Well, when they're at Somerset House at least!!! As we had a day out celebrating on Wednesday we did some shopping and then headed for Somerset House to watch the iceskating and chill out in the great atmosphere (and kill time before the show). Anyway, as we came into the court yard this guy came up to us and asked if we wanted tickets! He had loads going spare, didn't want money, just for someone to enjoy the tickets! How great isn't that??!!!??!! People do surprise me once in a while! We thought we had two tickets but it turned out to be one ticket and one receipt. We decided I would go (think we all remember what happened last time Col and I went skating?!?!?! Hehehhe! The offical story is, of course, that I pushed him!!! Say no more!). As I was putting on my skates, feeling a little lonely among all the smiling couples, Col turned up! What a lovely surprise! Another kind person, this time a lady, had asked Col if he wanted to skate, she had a spare ticket for him : ) People eh!??! Soooo nice!!!! We skated for a little while but were pretty knackered from cruising around town all day (especially Col as he had to carry all the shopping!), after a little while, with no falling over, we hung up our skates and headed for the bad instead! Hehhe! Killed some time then headed to Trafalgar Studios near Trafalgar Square for The New Stateman! Rik Mayall was so great!!!! Was more like watching an episode of Bottom!!!!! He can just crack you up with a facial expression! Ahhhhh! Col was in heaven that's for sure, sure he laughed the loudest too! Hehhe! We even got on-stage sex! Hillarious! Best of all was Rik's (or Alan B'stard as he's called in the play/series) phone conversations - Tony Blair, and the top one was with the Queen!!! Heheheheh! Laughed so hard!! Made it home pretty quickly, then finished off the evening with Pizza with Baked Beans (Col's invention I think!)

 

Anyway... My top London tip muct be going to Somerset House by 5.15pm, and get yourself a free ticket! Actually, prebook, go down there and enjoy yourself to the full!!! Can't wait until we get back and head off there with Lesley and Louie! Will be a blast!

 

Svar till fragor:

Vi kommer till Kalmar klockan 14.53 den 23de

 

Emsen, ditt paket e postat, kostade bara £3 att skicka! Hoppas det kommer gram oxa! Hehhe!

 

Rik Mayall e en komiker/skadis fran Bottom (han med grisigt langt har) och t ex The New Statesman... Vet inte vad mer han varit med i... Men mest kand for Bottom tror jag allt!

 

Ankis, oroa dig inte over present, hittade bara na't lite roligt till dig, that's all!

Tuesday again

Firstly:

HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY JOHAN!!

 

Been Christmas shopping today. Col did very well, he's almost done... I'm still well behind... Got tomorrow though and Saturday as well... We're off to see Rik Mayall tomorrow in the New Statesman! Woohhooo! I think Col might wet himself with excitement though! Hehhe!!! He's been a bit of a soldier lately, dealing with my moods when shopping and such! Bless you! He went all the way to Stevenage the other night in hope of getting some info for the website he's making, but the meeting got cancelled at lsat minute... And he's away seeing his brother now as well, I think he deserves a medal : ) bit of a do-gooder really! It's left me on my jack again, but at least I've had a chance to wrap some pressies. Oh, found the perfect pressie for both Ems and Ankis... Hiiihihih! Oh, Karro is hopeless... What will I get her?!?!?

Later ppl! Bit bored of all this me me me me stuff when nothing has happened! Lots of things which are iiiinteresting have happened but I can't write it here....

This week...

Monday: Depressed... Made soft gingerbread cake, yum!

Tuesday:Did nada. Johan called with great news! Johan and Lisa are buying a house!!! Cool!!!!

Wednesday: Hunted for a Advent calendar. Sez popped around in the evening, followed by Perry. Had a merry old time! Got a surprise call from Cristelle too! Cool!

Thursday: Tired! Col had to go to the dentist, so we drove to St Venage. Tornado hit London, and we could just imagine it! The weather was awwwful!

Friday: Had a haircut! About time!

Saturday: Went to Brent Cross on a shopping spree, managed to buy 2 Christmas presents! Aghh!

Sunday: Lounge around day watching crappy telly! Oh, and Col fixed the lappy! Oooh!

 

My life is veeery sloooow right now! At least there's only 2 weeks til Sweden!!! Can't wait!! Maybe next week will turn out a little bit more exciting! Worrying about Christmas... Have not bought any pressies... Think we're swapping with Col's families next weekend...Oooppps! And it's Sharon and Trev's birthdays too! Madness! Got a family meal on Sunday in Walkern, God knows how we will get there... Can't drive the Bug until it's had MOT done (Bilprovning). We reckon a lot is wrong with it and haven't got the pennies to get it fixed, so it'll have to sit outside the house and look pretty! Sooo... This leaves us with some difficulties in getting anywhere outside of London... Ticket to Stevenage is £20! Arrrggghhh! Mad! And then, that's not even that close to Walkern! Hopefully we can get lifts all over the place! Hheheh! If we're lucky! I was thinking of trying the whole bus thing instead.... Could take a few hours but should cost £2 or so! Will research that now.....

 

Oh, a question: why don't I get any comments left anymore?!?! I do miss those.....

 

Jingle Bells!

Oohhh! Today has been Christmasy! We decided we have to get in the mood and put up some decorations! By Swedish standards it's veeeery early, but hey, if it'll help us, then sod it! It is the First of Advent after all! And I can find my Adventljusstake! Bit sad... Both the one with the four candles and the electric one are missing.... Where have they gone?!

 

Had a bit of a Sweden fest this weekend! Annelie's 30ars resa tror jag blev en success! OOopps, I mean Annelie's 30th Birthday trip was a success. Det var Karro, Louise, Sara och sa Annelie da forstas! Tror de har haft fullt upp heeeela helgen! Kom inte till sangs forran 5am What? Why do I keep doing that! ENGLISH DAMN IT! OK, they had a really late flight in to Stansted Thursday night, think they got to bed by 5am! Up and out shopping by 9.30 the next day! Hahah! They came round to us for an Indian about 10pm and must have been knackered! Lots of chatting and catching up. Karro has got herself a brand new job, so pleased for her! Forgot about the time and we had to run to the tube and they managed to catch the last train back! Gosh!

 

On the Saturday we met them in Oxford Circus, it was madness! Carfree day in Oxford Street and sooooo busy! I'm completely put off, don't think I'll be doing any Christmas shopping there at all! Online it is!!! Hahah! The girls managed to get a few bits though : ) We had a nice break in Borders at Starbucks too, looovely, but soooo manic! This is really the first time I've been around the shops here in London since forever! Maybe I had a look around last Christmas, but it's been a loooong time! And the fashion has changed so much! Been long since there's been so many ugly things about! Still some gorgeous stuff too of course, some really nice boots around...... Ooooohhh... Even more reason for a job! Found two pairs I really liked, one in Clarks and one in Office.... (the ones you tried Karro) 20% off at the minute as well..... Mmmm!

 

Blev inbjudna till julfest hos Col's pappa innan vi aker hem... Ah, hoppas jag far 'magont' eller 'forkyldning' tills dess... Vet inte om jag kommer klara av det med galningarna som antagligen kommer komma! Kanske e allt fixat tills dess, men jag vet inte. Jobbigt!

 

Anyhow, think it's time for another search for a sofabed on Ebay..! Oh, gonna stick some pictures from this weekend up as well!

Hugs!

Oh - Col just told me every picture will take 10 minutes as we're on the dial-up... Sorry guys! Will have to wait!
