I haven't had any brainstorms in the past couple of days which is good. We did up my meds so that's probably helped. Yay!
Am looking forward to christmas atm. Going out for dessert with the girls tonight, then there's a gathering at Kirsty's tomorrow night. I'm making homemade mince pies for tea tomorrow. Home made fruit mince plus home made pastry. The pastry is easy i've done that heaps of times before, and surprisingly, the mince is just as easy. I've got it marinating (? is there another word like that that's used for desserts? infusing?) in the fridge overnight so it absorbs the sherry and butter and yumminess. Then will put them together tomorrow. They'll look really homemade but I think they're going to be sooooo tasty.
Had a good day of Chrissie shopping yesterday though. Got my final pressie for Lou. I won't say what it is because then i'll ruin the presentness of it all so she'll find out in good time.
For the parents I got some random things.
For mum I got Donna Hay's 'The Instant Cook' which I think she'll love bc she always likes Donna's recipes in the paper and often buys her mag.
So to complement that I bought her a new spatula and whisk because hers are old and crap.
Then I bought her the newest Coldplay album because she loooooves Coldplay.
For dad I randomly bought trivial pursuit. But I think he'll dig it. We do the quiz in the Good Weekend every saturday so they're v into trivia and its a bit of fun. Plus a bunch of nice white socks because he got into trouble the other day when he went to play golf with shorts and he was wearing beige socks and oh no no you have to wear white! He had to buy some on the spot!
So I think that's a bit fun.
That's about all for now.
