Hope you had a lovely Christmas break, mine has been wonderful, the best Christmas since i was a little girl.  I’ve been busy seeing friends, family, doing fun stuff and lots of parties, gorgeous foods and drinkies. Very chilled and very awesome. Here’s a few pictures of what i’ve been up to over the holidays

Excuse my blurry panoramic picture i was just getting all romanitc and christmassy and loving how cosy and snug that flat was We spent Christmas eve with friends watching the latest Eddie Izzard DVD (the show we saw for my birthday) If you click to see the bigger version i’ve annotated it too.

.

So this is what our living room looked like over Christmas, its still looks like this but less presents under the tree I always leave it till the last possible minute to take the decorations down cos i like them so much! The glass in the foreground is egg nog, which I’ve never made before but now I’m fully converted, its lush!

.

Among the many tasty treats around, we made a couple of chocolate cakes – the rolly log kind. Mmm rolly log.

.

The week before Christmas we had crazy amounts of snow all of a sudden. As soon as there’s any snow in the UK the whole country goes mad, everyone was off work for a week and we had loads of fun playing in the snow before having a big Christmas roast dinner round Jez’s.

.

On Christmas eve i was working at my desk and i hear all these mad loud Christmas carols coming from outside, i peeped out and there was Santa! I ran out to take a picture but i was a bit late, and quite disappointed when i actually got out there to see some geezer in a fake white beard getting pulled along by a Ford Escort. ha ha!

.

And now its New Years eve! I thought I was all partied out after Christmas but now its rolled around i’m really excited about celebrating! The last year for me has been interesting to say the least, and i’m so happy to be going into 2010 happier, and healthier than i’ve ever been  and with positive relationships with people i love so much.  Thanks so much to everyone who’s supported me and A Little Stranger over the years- I literally couldnt have done it without you, and i’ve got lots of ideas for how the site will grow over the coming year. 

Big Smiles and hugs

I’ve had such a fun week! After my birthday last week i’ve been thoroughly spoilt by all my wonderful friends and generally getting treated like a little darlin’

.

So heres some pics from my rainbow party. It was awesome and i was so impressed with everyones colourful outfits! We had rainbow jelly, rainbow food, rainbow shots, I even tie dyed a rainbow top for Jonjo using this instructable. It was so fun and easy to do me Vicky and Maddi are going to have a tie dye day soon and make all our boring white clothes rainbow! weee!

At some point we decided to get out the stash of emergency cat hats i’ve got on top of my wardrobe

This is the tie dye top i made, i am totally keeping it for myself!

Me and Vicky – so glitsy!!

Cat hats make boys sad

Most of my pictures came out really blurry, I wish i’d got photos of everyone and what they were wearing, my flat was full to bursting with people in rainbow outfits!  It was awesome and i had such a nice time

.

Then on Sunday I went to see Miley Cyrus live in concert. I have never seen so many 6 year old girls in sequin dresses and cowboy boots! Miley was so amazing, I spent the whole gig singing along with a big goofy grin on my face and by the end i’d lost my voice, my hand were red from clapping and my face hurt from smiling.

.

We’ve been getting the house a bit more Christmassy, we got a real tree which is lush – I’ve never had a real tree before. I made an instructable on how we did the decorations which you can see here. Now i just need to finish making presents, eeep!
