There are 600 more pics, what can i say it was an amazeballs Christmas.

How was yours?

Christmas Time part 1

Hi everyone! How was everyone Christmas ?? Sorry for my absence but i have been having to much fun with my LOVELY family to find time.

My festivities started with a Christmas tea party with two of my best friends, brother and his gf.

We went for a 5yr olds birthday party theme with party rings and all. We then swapped gifts. I got a gorgeous shawl and a Alice & wonderland broach, a sundae glass with a long spoon & a mug with a jumper and hot chocolate. Not only great gifts but received early, which makes them even better. They had to leave soon after because the last two times they came they got snowed in at my house.

My family arrived crimbo eve. Whilst everyone got set up me and my cousin played on my new phone whilst we waited for Christmas soaps. I am now addicted to Angry birds, and i mean properly addicted.

Christmas morning came, and we all got up to open are prezzies. I got some great gifts. Loads of dvds, cds, clothes, chocolate. I got my annual mr men book, pjs and i got THE cosiest bed jacket.

We don't eat till 4/5pm so we snacked, watched a Christmas film, listened to Christmas songs, played games and waited for dinner....

The family drank far to much, ate to much & had lots of fun as your supposed to

WINNER!

So i asked mother dearest to pick a number from 1-6 and she chose lucky number 1

Making Jen the lucky winner, congrats!!

Your winnings should be with u Thursday

Enjoy

Happy birthday Mum & Auntie Clare

I can't tell you how delighted i am to be writing this from my bed whilst wrapped up in my slanket, ( i have 2 and im not ashamed ) drinking hot choc waiting for Elf.

Yesterday was my mum & her twins birthday.

My Aunt lives in London and wasn't due to come until Christmas, but for about 3months no we have been planning a surprise dinner for m mum. She thought it was just me my brother her & her fella. Instead the whole family turned out.

I do love Christmas

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree

What a week, its been none stop, mostly fun stuff, but that doesn't mean its any less tiring. I cant wait till Sunday so i can lie in my bed all day.

I spent Mon, Tue & Wed shopping, as you do...

I was quite relaxed, apart from having to change at least once a day. I think my blood pressure may be low, i spend my days freezing cold, but sweating as if im sat in an oven, not a great feeling!

Thursday was fun, we decorated the main tree, i got very trigger happy and took 222 pics, alot of which were of  my knee or the ceiling, its really hard holding a camera when you cant balance. I ached so much once done, and i was knacked, i was tired before hand. I hadn't slept much that night. We had run out of pee bags Learn more here so i had to wake up every few hours to pee.

I did get some proper pictures though...

 

Whilst mum did all the hard work, i sat by the fire and told her what to do

I did just want to sleep today but my friends were visiting. So we spent the day party planning & gossipping, i was supposed to get my eyebrows waxed, but due to what can only be described as a blizzard they left early so they wouldn't get stuck.

Mums birthday tomorrow

P.s Scroll down for a great give away

My first giveaway

So was it only me that was woken at 3am by what im convinced was a hurricane last night??

I actually thought my roof was going to blow off!

And with wind and rain comes sub zero temperatures, im half expecting David Attenborough to appear in my room. So at this very moment im cuddled under 2 slankies a duvet and i have on a woolly hat, waiting for my tea to cool. Its so cold! Thankfully whilst shopping for christmas prezzies on monday i bought myself 7 jumpers. One of which im saving for xmas day, i stole the idea from thewoollenmitten

Can't wait to snuggle up in it after my christmas dinner.

I bought myself alot on monday when i come to think of it. I think my fav purchase has to be Mr Bubles christmas album.

Starbucks loves the snow to!

No walk would be complete with out Tilly.
