christmas its christmas

well actually its boxing day today but since i was just too darn busy to blog yesterday i decided to blog today.
especially since there's nothing good on tv at the precise moment and i just spent the last hour clearing out my room (yes its almost 10pm, dont ask me why, i just did)



ooops sorry went away from the computer there, had to show my family how amazingly well i'd tidied my room :D

christmas eve was lots of fun, made christingles and hung out with the 2 beths. just generally had a nice time.
christmas day was good too, i got stuff for my room (i'm redecorating it next week) and also a nice white gold ring from my grandparents. plus a gumball machine, cds, dvds, books, chocolates, calender, lots of nice stuff.
we went to church in the morning and got lots of laughs out of one of PJ's stocking presents (101 things to do during a dull sermon). then had a very yummy lunch at nan and grandad's, i'm not sure i've ever eaten so much for christmas day lunch- it wasnt a traditional lunch but it tasted good!
then we came home and played our family christmas present- a wii!!!!! very exciting and very fun :)

however boxing day has arrived and the wii has revealed its dark side- as just another thing my brother thinks he knows everything about.
it was ok for the first part but then when mum and i couldnt get one of the games he had a go at us- said we werent doing it right. unfortunately this is one of the things that winds me up most about PJ; when he's good at something he acts like no-one else can do it and like he knows best. this has always wound me up and probably always will. i just walked away.
it was the best thing for everyone because it meant that i calmed down pretty quickly (although got annoyed again later).
overall boxing day was its usual weird, post-christmas day. PJ made it up to me how he always does by 'acts of service' (you need to read 'five languages of love' to understand)

tomorrow we have most of dad's side of the family coming over (grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin ruth and her fiance and baby girl) should be ok. it means a few more pressies and just nice family time.

for the rest of the week i plan to continue to clear out my room in preperation for decorating next week. and also next monday is new years eve...the annual Brombley/Challis/Ross/Nash Murder Mystery Party will of course be taking place. Medieval themed this year, i am a peasant girl- looks to be fun :D

and next week i'm decorating my room, hopefully going to london and generally enjoying my time off work. hopefully hear from a few more universities, but who knows.
i just want to sleep, relax and slowly watch the next 2 weeks go by before i have to go back.

pray that this cold goes away because although i'm feeling better it is not going away at the moment, and also that i have appropriate rest :)
much love xxx
