Christmas!!! 2010

Christmas. It means something different for everyone, some people it is all about Jesus being born, some people it is about spending time with family, for some its about presents and festive food, and some it doesn't mean anything, just another day in the year.
Christmas. Holds many traditions for people. Such as Putting up the tree, in which in my family, my Dad would put the tree up in the room and then my Mum and me will decorate it, and even though my Mum says to me "yeah just put it anywhere you want" as soon as ive done a bit of a tree she will always move things and always has to approve of it, and then at the end my little sister will put the angel on the top. Even the build up has a tradition, of films with the family every day with hot lunches and Christmas lights. Christmas eve, is usually go out for dinner and then cinema... but this year was different in which we just stayed in, which in my view was a tad strange... but traditions have to change at some point. 
Christmas day is always the same though, even though the little sister is getting older she will still wake up at a un-natural hour and then come bouncing into my bedroom waking me up, in which i will make her lie with me for an extra hour before letting her loose to wake up the parents, then the whole morning she is the boss, opening presents in turn, then after getting ready, and whilst food is being prepared family arrive, and then dinner is served which takes up to about 4-5 hours. After that family always gathers round to watch Christmas specials and then play games, until bed. Boxing day is always my favourite day though. 
Going to Uncles, seeing the whole family, having a lush lunch and playing games, then for dinner the left over turkey, baked beans and mash :) YUM!!! 


Christmas to me, is the best holiday, just filled with films, snuggling up in blankets, and chilling out :) 
And you get presents :)

 Always need a Christmas outfit!! 
In previous years its usually every single piece of clothing that i got given for Christmas, and some years its been tutu and fairy wings! Its the only day as well as my birthday and fancy dress parties i can dress up :D 

However i left my fairy wings and tutu in Derbyland so my outfit this year consisted of a dress i was brought, red tights for the festive season, the hat and cardigan because it was COLD!! as well as the lush slippers i got!! :) 

Christmas edition 2010

 a

There are sooo many pictures that were taken, that i couldn't have them all on the post! So 12 festive photos of the amazing Christmas that i had are all that are needed :)
The first one, is us all with presents that are ready to be open :O
Then there is the one that shows the LOVE that goes round the household <3
And then the famous tree, that without it, well it just wouldn't feel like Christmas now would it :)




Got any traditions of your own... then comment below :)




Follow? Its Christmas :)

Just don't see the big deal.

For those who don't know me as well, will think that this post is going to be very BIG headed, but believe me its not... this post is more of a rant, and to question why boys do such things...
Feel quite strange posting about this... but it does play on my mind and confuses me...

What is the big deal with me....

I just don't understand, how without even trying, boys come and tell me things such as "your gorgeous" and  "I've always had a thing for you but been to shy to say" and more things such as that... now I dunno if anyone has noticed... but I don't dress on a day to day basis in a way that is in my eyes amazing... take this an example...

Me on the left, in a baggy hoody and what you cant see is some normal blue sort of baggy jeans, compared to this girl who is wearing skirts, tights and a small jacket.... i don't tend to dress girlie ... I'm more of a jeans, hoody and trainer girl.... however I am NOT a tomboy, very much girlie.. just don't dress it. But I still don't see how that even though I don't dress as girlie as the girl on the right, but still guys are constantly staring, eyeing me up and asking for my number and name... WHY????




I'm not complaining, its good to know that even without trying I am still what people class as "attractive" and all that, but at time it gets to the point, where realise that it scares guys that I actually want to be with, off.
Its even more annoying, having the wrong guys thinking your amazing and that they will do anything for you (don't ask why..) and not having the guy that I would actually much rather think that I am amazing, not think it.

So yeah random and weird post... but
I am not that amazing, just average me :)

Why does it need a title? :)

18th December 2010 - longest time i have EVER spent not moving on the motor way!
Driving back home to Milton Keynes for Christmas, was going well, not many cars and was making good time.. which was good because just wanted to get home, even though was in a weird emotional mood (which annoyed me because i didnt know why) and then got to Northamptonshire, and traffic picked up... was getting icey.... then literally went under a bridge and BANG there was TONS of snow!!! Knee deep and a stand still!!
There sat in the same position 9miles away from Milton Keynes for 2hours!!! As well as that the petrol was running low.... I think sitting in that car would have been more bearable if my dad wasnt getting annoyed by not being able to move and then moaning about the people that were getting out of the cars, and going fast... and blah blah blah.... eventually we got to Milton Keynes, and no lie it was like a scene from a Zombie film!! There was abandoned cars and buses, lorry's that had crashed into vans and bus stops, random people walking the streets and roads, and cars skidding everywhere! 
From just coming from a quiet icey Derby to this... it was crazy!!!!
Decided to get pizza, and me and the Dad walked round to get it, which he always makes me chuckle because even though im 18, he still treats me as though i am 5 years old and have never seen or walked in snow in my life, even though it was me making sure he didn't fall! :) 
That night when laying in my bed (which is SOOOOO much comfier and bouncy than my Derby bed) i realised how strange it is to be home!!! and how bloody cold my house is!!


Anyway only a small post this time!!

End of first ever semester

Friday, the last day of the first semester here at uni (2010) and lets just say its been interesting, and i have learnt a lot. It seems like only last week i found out i was accepted into uni, and only feels like yesterday that my parents drove me all the way up here, and left me to start a life on my own. These 3 years are going to FLY by!
To be honest, it was hard at the start... 
Making friends, getting to know people, getting into a routine and for half of the semester i was constantly ill, mainly because of stress, lack of sleep and feeling homesick... which was un-cool and there were many times i would call up my Dad asking to come home, because i know he would come pick me up any time, unlike my Mum who would tell me to get a grip and carry on going... which in my best interests she is right.. 
But yeah things are good now... I thought this post would be a lot longer than its turning out to be... but hey ho :) 
Met some AMAZING people!!! Learnt how to do things i never knew you had to do... Realised that not sleeping is not good.... and realised that without the constant nagging of my parents things don't get done, and that ends bad!! 


Even though i promised myself and all the AMAZING friends i had before i went to Uni that i would NEVER change, and i will still be the same person when i come back... but i think i have broke that promise... because i have changed... and i know i have.. Which in a way i am glad about, because some of the changes are good... but then im quite sad that i have, because i liked who i was, and i don't want to loose people close to me because of this change thing!! 


So going home for a whole month is going to be ODD..... not having to worry about cooking and getting up for lectures is going to be INCREDIBLE!! But living under my parents rules is going to be the odd part!! But it shall be good to get away from everything... because it comes to a point where i just cant deal with all this s**t! 


:) Yeah anyway... sorry for this real crap post! but am a tad tired.... 
If its your first time reading my blog.... do follow me! :) and read the other posts because they are better :) 

Weekend back home :) Goobering, drinks, learning about babies

As being at University all the way up in Derby, every now and then its nice to go back home for the weekend. However each time is as crazy as the last. As it is only a weekend... which only really consists of one full day, there are many things to do, and many people to see. But this weekend was the BEST yet :) and blog worthy :)

My train left at 1.06 and it was a CRAZY rush to get onto it!
I woke up very late (10am), and still had to wash my hair, do my washing, pack and go to Sainsburys to get some money out..
Got dressed at (11am) and went down to put the washing on... that would take half an hour.
So decided to walk to Sainsburys to get some money out for taxi to station, i would walk it, but the paths were so icy it would have taken ages to get there!! Vicky (flat mate) needed to go Sainsburys as well so she decided to come with me.... BUT what would usually take us 10mins there and back took us up to 40mins!!! Due to Vicky not wanting to fall, it did make me giggle how funny she was, fussing over the ice, when she didn't even fall :P Oh and also the cash point wasn't working so i had to buy something to get cash back.. so the time i got back it was 11.40... cutting time here... so i put my washing in the dryer... 50mins that would take... i begun to realise there was a high risk of missing the train :O 
Decided to skip washing my hair and i would do that when i got home, i would just stick a hat on.. so that cut time... then i packed as much as i could whilst waiting for the dryer.... it was 12.45 now i had 15mins to get my washing back to my room put it away, get in the taxi and get on the train!!! Eek!!! I ran down got my washing out, ran up back to my room.. 12.50... called a taxi... "ten minutes" the lady said!!! It takes 5 mins to get to the station... at this point i was panicking!! I put as much as the washing away as i could, and left the rest on the bed, grabbed my suitcase and with the help of Vicky lugged it down the stairs. Lucky the taxi was there!! 12.56.... in the taxi.... got to the station 1.02... payed the taxi man, got out the taxi, grabbed my suitcase and got into the station... 1.04.... looked for where my train would be.... ran up the stairs... 1.05.... ran down the stairs to the platform... 1.06 there was the train... the doors where closing... i ran, not caring if i fell or not... luckily the driver saw me and waited... so so lucky, i managed to get on the train :) 1.07 it left! 
Now back in Derbyland it was icey, snowy and COLD!! So i dressed fairly warm.... got back to Milton Keynes.... NOTHING!!! no snow.... no ice!!! nothing!! I looked like a complete PLEB! but anyway got back home saw the cats <3 and the family, went food shopping with the Mum <3 and the the best friend Ryan came round and we went to the pub for a drink which was goooooood :D 

Yeah Ryan looks a bit scared in this picture... but he was having a good time :)

Chanita came round. :) 
So the Goober was suppose to come at 11.... but because of her little mum having to go to loads of places first she didn't actually get here until about 12!! She knocked on the door and as soon as i answered it we both started laughing!! :D The Goobs were back!! (Y) We then walked to tescos and brought chicken burgers (Chanitas frav :P) crisps and fizzy drink!! For our full action packed day!!..... Of GAMING!! 
We got back to mine, cooked lunch, and sat and watched...... Spongebob (Yeah we are cool of course) Then we munched on the crisps.... which were a bit toooo spicy for little ChanBan and she was well lets say pre-occupied for a while ;) (She knows what i mean) After that we went onto the Wii and begun.... playing MARIO. Now this game, always gets me and Chanita... because its the new super mario brothers game, in where we are both playing on the SAME screen... and have to work together!! Which to begin with me and Chanita aren't that good at.... but after a few times repeating a level... over.... and over..... and over..... and over.... with 30 continues we get there.... So we defeat fish, Ghosts, and Squids that look like Ghosts... and we get to the Boss.... this is where it goes soooo wrong!!! Chanita, "how do we defeat him?" Me, "You jump on him and then avoid the shell" Chanita "okay" But no she gets killed straight away... and then i die... we try again... i died and yell "Don't die... wait till you pop me" but no she dies.... We try once again... and we both die... and then the most funny thing happens... Its chanita and the boss... Chanita yells "What do i do" I yell "JUMP ON HIM! JUMP ON HIM"...... so she belly flops Bowser... and its Gameover!!! We both stare at the TV with our mouths open... i then look at her... and we both burst out laughing!!! We decided then not to play any more and to play a few round of MarioKart before she went and met her boyfriend. 
Then later that evening. I went and babysat my 4month  old cousin William.. who is sooo cute bless him... However i never realised i know NOTHING about babies. Just as my uncle and auntie were leaving to go out.. he woke up and started crying and i was like ummm okayy... i let him have a bottle which made him stop crying... but as it neared the end i begun to worry about the crying... which he did... so i decided to do what i always see people do... i stood up with him in my arms and bounced up and down singing the first song that game to my head which was the... "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" So here i am, with a baby in my arms, bouncing up and down singing, "In the Jungle, the mighty Jungle, the lion sleeps tonight, Awimba way Awimba way" This actually calmed him down, then he was more interested in the tv, and everytime i moved him away he would moan and try and hit me.. so i was like meeer okayy... I then realised this little baby... hated simon cowell, loved Louie, hated men on tv but loved women! Oh and he loves Simply Red.! Was a good evening :)
