Christmas has been blissfully relaxing in my household this year. It was just me and my parents, as due to Mum's illness we haven't had my grandparents over for the last couple of years. It's taking a bit of getting used to, actually, it just doesn't seem like Christmas without them. Still, twas a lovely day! We opened our presents in the morning ( Read more... )

Work was so tiring! It makes me feel so lazy and unheathy if I can't do a whole day's work without feeling like I need to sleep for a week. We were busy this morning and I was rushed off my feet trying to remember where everything was, how to put this, that and the other through the till and finding random boxes of shoes which had been scattered ( Read more... )

Yay! I'm home, and miraculously also unpacked. Thank you gothicmissy for the Christmas card, tis lovely and it arrived this morning just before I left Leicester to come home. My Dad's too lazy to wrap Christmas presents so I've had to wrap my own and Mum's on his behalf and arrange them around the tree. Tomorrow I'm at work bright and early. I have this ( Read more... )

I think the whole Space Cadets thing is a hoax. Why do you ask? Simply because Ryan the so-called electrician appears in a blood donor advert. Therefore something fishy is afoot, and I think they're all actors. This is kind of amusing in that it's probably actually the audience that's being hoaxed.

This weekend I stayed at grandmasam's in Hinckley. Sam, miss_chewinggum ( Read more... )

Whee! I am practically essay free for this semester! Well, until I go home then I have another two to do anyway. I know I've been very dull lately complaining none stop about my essays, but I've finally finished both first drafts, so I just need to read through them and change things, move things around which is the easy bit before I hand them in.

I've finished the first half of my essay today! Yay! The second half will much easier and much more straight forward. Today's been productive, I went to pick up another reference from my tutor who told me that I'm half way between a 2.1 and a 1st. I sneaked a peek at my reference and it's pretty good ( Read more... )

The last couple of days have been pretty chilled out; I've calmed down a lot in contrast to how stressed I was earlier in the week. Last night I saw The Corpse Bride! I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. It was a strange voice to hear Johnny Depp doing as it's very different to the characters he usually plays. spaceydaveb came to the conclusion that ( Read more... )

The Jamie Cullum concert was fabulous! He sings brilliantly live, and all my favourite songs were sang. The rest of the band were totally awesome too, and we had the best view from up in the tiered seating. One of the band, played about six different instrument, it was really impressive. The support attack was a little strange though. The lead ( Read more... )
