Xmess went better than expected. I managed to spend it with James and then went to exchange gifts with my family on the 27th.
James -
hairsticks (the only present I didn't tell James to buy me)
nail polish, eyeshadow, eyeliner
wallet
booja booja hazelnut crunch truffles (the most awesome chocolates ever)
bikini (we had to return the top and order the next size up instead)
measuring cups and spoons
earphones
Janet and Cliff (James' parents)-
underwear and two vests
Lindsay and Steve (James' sister and her husband)-
socks
shampoo and conditioner (were taken back to shop and exchanged, because they weren't vegan)
scrunchie
address book
Helen and Matt (James' sister and her boyfriend)-
soap from Lush
hairclips
cranberry fizzy drink
sweets
Vegan cupcakes take over the world book
Peter (James' brother)-
wallet
Mum and dad-
pyjamas
dressing gown
Lush gift box
mobile phone
Grandma-
HMV giftcard for unknown amount
Naomi (older sister)-
giraffe ornament
mango flavour black tea (I can't really drink it because I can't handle caffeine. I think I'll use some of it to make chai latte cupcakes)
Tom (younger brother)-
fairy ornament (two fairies kissing. I thought they were lesbian fairies at first, but on closer inspection I think one is actually male).
Katy (younger sister)-
Bangle (It's too big for me. I have very small hands and wrists).
They're the Golden Vanilla Cupcakes with Fluffy Buttercream Frosting. It's a crappy photo, but my camera kept switching itself off each time I took a photo. I did not find this conducive to an enjoyable photography session, so I decided it would have to do.
I just came back from a New Year's Eve party. I had a go at Guitar Hero and failed miserably, James did quite well at it, but he said he didn't really enjoy it. James and I were very well behaved and didn't touch a drop of alcohol. Although one of our friends got completely wrecked. I should probably have been sympathetic, but I started giggling when I saw what a state he looked. I have a habit of laughing at inappropriate moments.
Also Miranda Cosgrove just tweeted that she's having dinner with Josh Peck, Barb and her mom. Very sweet.
