It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Hello my lovely followers.
I do apologise for the lack of posts recently but around Christmas time as I'm sure you all know life gets a bit hectic! It also doesn't help that I've had a terrible cold and was sent home from work the other day so have been feeling a bit crappy :( I did however find some Hello Kitty tissues which made it a bit more bearable :)

On a brighter note most of my Christmas shopping is now done *YAY* I've been so unorganised this year because I have been so stuck on what to buy everyone. My friend and I took a trip over to West Quay in Southampton on Saturday as the choice of shops on this island is few and far between. Luckily it wasn't horrendously busy like I was expecting, still busier than usual but tolerable. Now the problem I have when Christmas shopping is resisting to buy lots of things for myself and its so typical that when you're looking you don't find anything and when your not you see everything you could ever want! Well I have to say I was very impressed with my self control, which is usually non-existent when it comes to shopping, as I only bought a pair of jeans from Miss Selfridge's and a lovely little green dress from Topshop. The rest of my shopping I am pleased to say consisted of Christmas presents, which I sat and lovingly wrapped yesterday (I'm terrible at wrapping).

So I am going to leave you with my top 10 favourite things about Christmas time:

1. All the pretty lights on the houses (makes driving more interesting).
2. The way the house smells.
3. Everyone's good spirits. 
4. Wearing hats, scarf's and gloves. 
5. Eating lots of chocolate.
6. Spending time with family. 
7. Christmas songs, 'ITS CHRISTMASSSSS!'
8. Snow (if it does *fingers crossed*).
9. Films on the TV.
10. Exchanging presents.

If I don't post before I hope you all have a great Christmas :) 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas :)

Hey everyone :)

So today I went Christmas tree shopping for the first time EVER! Usually we have a fake tree but this year seeing as though our extension was complete, we decided it would look nice if we brought a real tree. So I got ovally excited and joined my boyfriend and his sister in the hunt for the perfect tree!!

At the weekend we also took a trip to somewhere called Busy Bee! I love going there at Christmas it really gets you in the mood and they have such lovely displays.

 After visiting Busy bee we took a trip to Oasis which is a lovely shop that sells furniture, candles, and canvas  pictures etc. Busy Bee was extremely busy and we did plan on having lunch there but instead went to Oasis, where I had macaroni cheese and the best hot chocolate I've had in a long time! It was very yummy! Max had an extremely big sandwich too... greedy piggy!
