I wish I'd stayed in bed too. It's too cold in here.

I was cold. Now I'm too warm. I think thermal socks AND uggs together was a bad move.

Special place in hell reserved for people who play ALL THE RINGTONES on the bus.

And people who don't silence their phone and text constantly.

Or just people in general.

There is a plank behind me ringing all his mates bragging about his threesome last night.

At least I'm entertained.

You may have guessed I forgot my headphones.

I just had a look back through some old Facebook photos and comments, etc. It made me realise how much fun I had in college (that I did not appreciate at the time, as it was a rough time too). Mostly it made me realise how few friends I have now. I don't know how I managed to lose so many of them to time, distance, drifting apart, etc.

Sad and nostalgic now.

Edit: Eighty quid for a Taylor Swift ticket?! I think not! :mad:

You should tell them it's not 2002 anymore!

(Also, people who don't turn off keypad tones, grrr)

Heyo!

James' surgery was cancelled because he has a bit of a cough. They've rescheduled to the day before his birthday. Poor lad.

Anyone getting anything nice for Christmas?

OH is getting me a Merlin pass for Christmas (he got one himself when he was at Alton Towers for the Bonfire Night fireworks), and my mum picked up a few bits in Gap for me when I was home in November that she could parcel up until Christmas.

Treated myself to this - an excuse to finally replace the eyeshadow and blush from my Benefit She's So Jetset palette!

Das Kitty

I don't know what I'm getting.

All I know is I got a funny silence after I said I was thinking about picking up some fresh ground coffee in Aldi when I was doing the shopping. :pac:

I got him something expensive and useless. He'll love it. :pac:

shalalala

I have heating!!!!!

I keep asking for money for my impending move but everyone in my family is so strange about gifting money.

Glad you have heating, it's fecking freezing. Having moved somewhere with proper heating this week I already can't imagine going back to none!

I know most things I'm getting, know there's a MAC special edition brush set, some cookery books, the Soap & Glory set that's in Boots today and some Trilogy body stuff - it's my birthday too so I get spoiled! Oh and Beauty & the Beast DVD - can't wait to watch it!!

My mum took me shopping last week, so I got a dress, a coat and some casual clothes. Dad and my grandma mentioned something about money, so that'll be spent on make-up, and a trip to the hairdresser. And I may have self-gifted some more make-up and a pair of jeans

I'm actually more excited about the presents I've bought for other people. It was mine and my boyfriend's 5 year anniversary thingy yesterday so I went all out with presents for him this year

aw that's lovely
i'm very happy with what i got for himself

Ah, I call my himself "himself" too!

My taxi driver was laughing at me about it this morning, though.

I've been mulling over what to get himself for the last couple of weeks, it's our first Christmas together.

All my various ideas came together last night during a wander through the shops, I'm really pleased. Spending a nice bit but not a stupid amount, and a nice balance of things that he needs and sorta "treat" things he'd never buy himself.

I love giving people presents

XxMCRxBabyxX

I've asked for really exciting presents this year: law books and a new epi alert bracelet...

OH had asked me to get him a bike lock so that's what he's gotten along with one or two other small things. I think he's gotten me one of those fancy sports bracelet thingies. I've got everyone else sorted too except for half of my mum's present after my brother shuttle my idea, yet still made me pay for it!

shalalala

The only pressie I need is my best friend. He is 30 and buys everything he wants and needs. Plus his birthday is on Xmas day. Every year I am so confused and he gives thoughtful presents. So annoying!

SillyBeans

I bought my fella an xbox one (and games...and an extra controller thingy). I'm too good to that man!

Mine too! Worth it though for the quiet I'll get while he's playing it

Getting my bestie books for Christmas, as he always says he wants to read more but can never find much he's interested in and I have a knack for picking out good books for people! Must figure out a way of getting them to him before Christmas actually...

Love love love buying presents for people, with the exception of Kris Kringle in a group of people I don't know. Methinks socks or a nice scarf are good options there

We weren't meant to be doing presents this year, as we bought ourselves a trip to Edinburgh for New Years. He mentioned buying me something, though, so I had a look online and got him a few wee bits and pieces. Including a poster map of the world where you scratch off all the places you've been.

Have all my other presents sorted and am very excited to give them! Had no idea what to say to my mam when she asked me what I wanted so I gave her a random list of things to choose from. Should be a surprise I like so!

pampootie

I have to get himself his presents last minute because he looks for them when I'm not home! Have them picked out though

I got my husband a small baby for Christmas, early delivery was included so it really was super-efficient service!

I want a baby for Christmas.

None of this a baby isn't just for Christmas lark, though. I just want them Christmas day. Someone else can have them the rest of the time.

CONGRATS DOLBERT!

Christmas party time. Not in great form for it. Feeling more like the grinch this evening. Especially for office related Christmas-ness. :P

I got horrible, horrible news today. A woman I admired greatly and who had a huge influence on me at an important time in my life has died. A young woman with a young family. The world is cruel sometimes.

x Purple Pawprints x

IWMD, that's awful. Really sorry for your loss.

Tigger99

Ah that's awful iwmd, so sad.

SarahBeep!

I'm so sorry to hear IWMD. Dolbert, congratitude you both:)

Treated myself to a new hand mixer and slow cooker today. It's arriving tomorrow with my food shopping thanks to the lovely folks at sainsburys who tempted me with free delivery and £10 off.

DuchessduJour

So sorry to hear that, IWMD. Mind yourself

Congratulations Dolbert

Work Xmas party tonight. Just got home.

Dreading tomorrow..

I keep seeing people put up really grainy poor quality photos of themselves as their profile pictures on Facebook. Is this a new thing no one told me about? They get like 30 likes for these profile pictures too! I can't get 30 likes with a good quality photo of myself :pac:
Edit: Sorry to hear that IWantMyDinner and congratulations Dolbert!

I went to the pub for a hot cider which was lovely. Me and the barman talked college (we were the only people in the bar.) Then I picked up a couple of beers for the evening. Guinness' West Indies Porter (them trying to squeeze into the craft market I presume.) And a White Hag (from Sligo) Oktoberfest beer, Samhain. They're chilling now. I also got a free glass with my beers, a nice little half pint glass perfect for bottles of beer. Relaxing evening is go. I just need to sort out travel plans with a friend then I'm chilling for the night.

Absolutely awful night's sleep last night, was lying awake for ages and then couldn't get up when the alarm went. C'mon coffee, do your thing...

At least this is the last week before Christmas though, flying back on Sunday

Lucky you!

6 more days (more like 5 and a half plus 2 nights on call) and I'll be on mine. No work, no on call, no worrying about road conditions for 9 whole days!
