Christmas

Christmas is my favourite time of year :)
Christmas is the one day of the year when I get to see all of my family, everyone is happy and it is just a lot of fun.This year was particularly special as I got to have my Christmas dinner at my grandparents with all of that side of the family. It was mental but it was us and I loved every minute.
I also enjoy my boxing day dinner at my mum's best friends. They are part of our family in my opinion and we all get along well and enjoy a great dinner. One of the best things is my boyfriend gets to come along which I love as it shows he is accepted. Her youngest son is also only 4 which is great fun as he still believes in the magic that is Christmas and Santa. This year we played with table football and with a jack in the box its memories I never want to forget.
The sales are also a great part of Christmas as I have now finally got the dress I love from Joe Browns reduced from £50 to £20. That is the bargain I have been waiting for.

Accept

Just accepted my place at university.
I'm excited but also a little nervous. Part of me wonders what I would have got from the other universities but then it doesn't really matter and now someone else can get the places.
I can't believe I have actually done it.
I've gotten into uni !!

12 Days Before Christmas

Usually, we are quite traditional when it comes to putting up the Christmas tree and decorations we are quite traditional and do it twelve days before Christmas. I remind my mum of this yesterday and she made the impulse decision to do it today while we were at home.
It always makes me excited when we put the decorations up, I get the rush and feel all giddy. Mum always puts up on the Christmas CD and we all help do our bit, Mum and I do decorations around the house while dad and my sister put the tree up and put lights on. Then the tree gets decorated. My favourite decoration is a frosted class polar bear with three glass ice cubes, we put it behind a blue light on the tree and it looks really frosty and amazing.

Every year we always look back at the tree and admire it. It looks cheerful with all the colours and all the decorations have a story behind them. I don't like the tree's that have a theme, like white or blue. The seem to plain and posh. Our Christmas tree will be a memory I hope I always have because it is full of history and happy memories.

Uni

I just got my first acceptance for Uni, an unconditional to the place and course I want !!
I am soo excited
I thought  I was going to have to wait months to find out but now the weight is gone because I know what I am doing next year.
I cannot stop smiling :D :D :D
All this years stress doesn't matter any more, I can relax and enjoy it.
Soo Happy :D

Joe Browns

Joe Browns is one of my favourite shops, however it is far to expensive. My current love it a really pretty dress that I think is beautiful and would look great in but I can't afford it. I will continue to keep torturing myself by looking at it to see if the price goes down. Hopefully I will be able to afford it soon. 
                     

Online Shopping

Etsy is this awesome website my friend found. It is full off some cool, unique and vintage things. I have a massive love for notebooks, I always have and found some really beautiful ones on it. These are a couple of my favourites;

Snow Damage

As much as I love the snow, and not going to school, today the reality has come back to me. Walking up the steps to my house was terrifying as they have frozen over and even walking to work anywhere that was covered was becoming ice. They have also started clearing more roads and paths and the way I walk to work has been was blocked by a very large pile of snow as that is where they decided to put all the snow they cleared.
The worst damage however is in the back garden. The snow on the garage roof is really deep and the gutter totally froze. As a result the gutter and half of the bits that hold it up collapsed today. The nice snow looks a mess, which is gutting, but its going to be a pain getting it fixed and paying for it and the path dad cleared is now covered in fallen snow.

Icicles

The sever winter weather may be a pain to some but for me it is far from it. A break from school is exactly what I needed. It has also made the everything look cool and pretty.

 

I have never seen snow so deep and it looks like we could be at one of the poles. I haven't seen the ground in days. One of the most amazing things it has caused is icicles. I have never seen them for real before but there are loads on the houses across the road. They are hanging off the plants and there are a couple that hang from the gutter to the bottom of the window, that makes them as long as I am tall !!
