I don't have an advent calendar this year. :(

I'm hoping my mum will give me one and to my grandma-we have a sort of tradition 'cos none of us is overly keen on chocolate getting these charity calenders (bit more expensive but worth it) and every day you open it tells you something your money has paid for, like a water pump, a baby's hat, food for a day etc etc. Sounds a bit twee but we all enjoy it.

That sounds really lovely. Reminds me of the year I asked my parents for chickens and goats instead of a present. But my parents surprised me with art stuff alongside it.

That is so lovely!

That's a really nice tradition! What a fabulous idea!

That's really lovely amy!

There's not much in Ireland that I've seen for that sort of thing though. It's done a lot more in England.

I didn't realise England was so different from Ireland until I started talking to you!
My dad's family are all very irish! Never been though.

Ireland is beautiful. You should visit sometime.

I have two advent calendars :p

Me and Chels are planning to go to Ireland sometime next year. It does look like a beautiful place!

2 advent calanders! Lucky!

I demand that you share your advent calendars with me!

Nah Amy I will have all the noms come Thursday.

Actually I have 3 advent calendars but one is a yankee candle one.

I went to Ireland for the first time this year and I agree Ireland is beautiful!!
I don't even have one advent calendar, my mum won't buy me one anymore ( I think it's her job) but I might have to get myself one this year.

My mum is the same so I had to buy myself one. I couldn't quite decide which one hence why I have more than one.

I'm going to buy myself one as well. Love a good advent calendar.

I have a Yankee candle advent calendar. Can't wait to start.

Omg I am so jealous! That sounds awesome! How much was it?

A Yankee candle advent calander sounds amazing!

I have a yankee candle one too. They are about £25 in the shops but cheaper on amazon. I bought mine from amazon.

I am awake because I am going to meet my friend today. She is going to give me my Christmas presents. I haven't seen her for over 6 months though I text her regularly.

Hope you have/had a good time with your friend! :)

I had college this morning and now back home and watching the hunger games mockingjay part 2. Only ever watched part of it before

That movie isn't very good, I'm afraid. Ruined the whole franchise for me as I liked the other three movies.

Oh no! I really liked all the other ones.

I thought the movie was fine until the last 45 ish minutes made me roll my eyes so hard they fell out of their sockets.

Then again, I was mostly busy staring at Natalie Dormer anyway tbh :P

Haha!!

I'm freezing. The house is taking forever to warm up!

It is bloody cold here too.
And the weather is tricking you as well, it is super sunny so when I look out the window I have to assume it's not overly cold.

Yep it was really sunny today!
But everything was frosted over this morning, like everything was white!
And I just wore a hoodie today for some reason so I was sooo cold waiting for the buses! Mainly my toes though! Gonna have to start layering up the socks!
I need to start wearing my winter coat.

Jeebus, why would you leave the house in just a hoodie????
Fluffy socks is where it's at :P

I'm not sure. It seemed like a good idea at the time! (Story of my life...)
I need some fluffy socks!
It's warmed up now :)

Yep, I think that pretty much sums up your life ...

That's good, though if you start to feel cold again just set your house on fire.

Like £12 on Groupon

I'm wearing fresh pjs. they smell amazing and are fleecy.

I met my friend. We didn't do much just went to a cafe in a shopping centre and talked. I was early so I decided to do some shopping in the tesco that was there. Unfortunately my friend had the same idea so we saw each other in tesco!

Fresh PJs are the best!!

What a coincidence Dawn! Great minds think alike and all that!

I finished watching Hunger Games mockingjay part 2. Wasn't impressed tbh.

Evening all.

Hey amy! How are you?

Hey, best not ask how I am. ;) how are you?

I'm ok thanks! Got to leave for slimming world in a bit but it's sooo cold outside!!

Been up to much?

It's a refreshing cold though. Hope slimming world goes ok.

Evening all.

Hi Lorraine, how are you?

Trying to distract myself from panic, but ok.
How are you? Doing any more writing?

I hope your panic eases a bit.

No, I've not got my novel here with me. Maybe I should get Ritzi to bring it in. I'm not feeling very creative though.

Even if ritzi could bring you a notebook to scribble ideas in would be good.

It is quite refreshing. And I wore my big coat instead of just a hoodie which helped!

HI Lorraine :)
I agree with the scribbling down ideas thing.

Hi Beckie.

A big coat is needed in this weather.

Yes definitely! I will certainly not be going out in just a hoodie again!

Very sensible Beckie.

:-D

How is everyone? I'm watching holby.

Told you so re the movie, Beckie.
