Blogging fail.

Wow, I haven't posted in 9 days. Thats ridiculous. Although I have excuses though, university is a huge excuse. It is officially done for the year though, not going to lie, I'll miss it for the next month. I love my course. So anyway, It's officially Christmas.


In the last 9 days, I've done a lot. Made a christmas dinner for the flat with the flatmates, bought presents, did an exam, missioned home to Edinburgh and shopped some more! Christmas dinner was the first ever time I'd made a roast so it was a big deal. As we were feeding 8 people though, it had to go right. I'd never realised till last week how much effort goes into making a roast let along a christmas dinner! I have a new found respect for my parents. I also came home to my yearly job of putting the tree up at home. This never used to be my job solely but over the last few years I've taken over and now no one else is allowed to touch it! Pretty bad really. I love doing it though and it needs to be perfect!

I doubt Cass will appreciate me putting this up.. Oh well.  

So much food! (Two turkeys!)

The boys had to to watch a youtube video on how to 

do the 'mans job' that is carving. Man fail. 

Noms. 

After dinner the flatmates finally swapped over our secret santa presents. In the end, it seems everyone was pretty pleased and pleasantly plump from dinner. Cassie was my santa, which was lovely, she bought me a lovely coat hook for my room after me moaning my face off about having nowhere to put my fancy new coat. She also got me a copy of 'Wreck This Journal'! I've never properly heard of this project before except in the odd blog. It's amazing. After a busy couple of days I've not managed to start it but I'm hoping to start it tonight or tomorrow, looks like something that may well live in my bag for the next couple of weeks! I'll keep you updated with my wrecking mission.


So, also made some considerable success with my christmas shopping, although can't really post them up here. I do know my mum's not going to look here though. Today we went on an epic shopping day together. Basically the aim was to find my Christmas present from them, which was successful. I had set myself an aim to find some comfy but pretty military style boots with fluff inside them.. Or at least something similar. I'd seen some really nice brogue boots with fluff inside them too so it was quite an open search. In the end this is what we went for -

John Lewis 

Bertie - £110

I also successfully chose a set of curlers for my mum. Hope they're okay. Anyone used a curling wand before? If so are they easy? 

Oh and, this NEEDS to be bought. I've had my eye on it for the last week. It's a beautiful vintage leather satchel made by a small business in Fife called Scaramanga. Although, as a result of the snow they are a bit screwed over so they can't take any orders. They are so popular people have been ordering them over to America.

So basically, I've been shopping my sorrows away after my final hand ins and exam. I also bought some other tshirts a couple of weeks back from America and they finally arrived. I love them. Wow, I need to stop shopping. 

99 Luft Ballons! 

Hows the Christmas prep going for everyone? 

Thought I'd suggest some lovely blogs for you to take a look at Cupcake Couture, LLYMLRS, Head Over Heels, a natalie moment. I've enjoyed following these guys, they all have their own individual blogging style and it's all very interesting. I need to learn from their ways. 

Over and out.
