...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
