Woo Christmas! We got up at 8.30, ow XD We unwrapped our presents, I got quite a bit from Dad & Tony as you should be able to see in the pic! After presents Tony went over his house and me and Dad went for a walk round Priorslee lake. It was pretty cold, the lake is still all iced over from the past few days, even though today had actually warmed up.
When we got back I checked the nets & messed about a bit, then we went up Aunty Bettys. We had pretty good time, Sarah, Amber, Ali & Ali's new boyfiend Geoff were there too. After lunch we had presents and chat and stuff upstairs & Auny Val and Uncle Roy arrived.
We left at about 4.30 and for the rest of the afternoon we've dossed, slept, messed wth stuff & tried to figure out what we're gonna do tomorrow, may be busy as we've got 3 things to do at 6pm alone x.X
Here are a ton of pics.
( And the rest )
- Feeling:
excited
Christmas Eve! At first we weren't gonna do anything really, but we ended up going to Wellington to have a bit of a mooch, which was fairly pointless really! We didn't get much and after we went to Tesco to try & find alcohol minitures but they don't seem to sell them anymore so we carried on and went to visit Tony's Dads grave, and his brother Paul was there too so we were there bout half an hour before we had to go home.
I spent the night dossing and finding things on the internet I could've done with finding a few weeks ago in time for xmas XD
Dad rang Mum & Jen too so we talked for an hour then let them go to open their presents as it's Christmas already in NZ! (Sorry I missed you on msn Jenneh, I was out with Tony picking up his stepdad, typical, eh?)

accomplished
Today I was in work at 3 so I didn't really bother with doing anything else XD My car has died again though so I had to take Tony's in, not too much of a problem, it's fun to drive Tony's car.
There were 9 people in house today, so I did hardly anything XD Actually I did a fair bit of the cleaning rota I usually ignore & chatted a bit to the chefs & receptionist, I only poured about 10 pints and served two meals, dead easy work. It started to snow at about 6.30 too! I'd taaken my camera in in hopes of getting a pic of something so that was quite lucky XD I was hoping it would snow lots, but it probably only lasted an hour and a half or so, it stuck though! The staff were mostly pleased XD I was told I could go at 9 cause of the snow, but I didn't get out till 10, not a bad shift though.
I took the mini pic when I got home then picked Tony up after a while :]
( A Mini )
- Feeling:
pleased
Today I decided I had to go up town to get tony's parent's presents. I wasn't really sure what to get them, I don't know them well enough to try and be cretive, so I ended up going for the obvious- liquor & chocolate! It was busy as anything up town, but I hear it'll be worse tomorrow, but that's k cause i'm working from 3 so I won't get a chance to go up XD
When we escaped the town (with considerably less money, but more peace of mind) I asked Tony to go for a bit of a roundabout drive somewhere so i could get some pics. I wanted some to try and show just how frosty the place is! Last year we got lots of frost, but fog too, this year the skies are so clear.
We went up past the wrekin (know where we are, Dad? ;D) and through a village and back home, I got a couple of pics so I was happy i got something different :]
We went to Tony's parents for tea for a change as we both had the night off. It was okay, we had spag bol & watched Jimmy Carr standup. I don't know what it is this year but standup is rife! Most of it is pretty good though XD We left about 11 and before goinghome went to check out shifnal lights. My pics really don't do it justice, there are so many and it looks sooo good, even though the display is similar to last year.
( Views & lights )
- Feeling:
rushed
This cold thing is getting old now XD It hasn't warmed up enough to get rid of the frost except for patches which get over an hours sunlight a day, which apparently is quite rare xp The frost is building up over old frosts (and the bit of original snowfall), and so it's starting to look like proper snow now! You can defrost the car and within an hour sometimes it has frost on it again! My hands are freeeeezing, defrosting makes them cold then the blowers in my car make them colder as I drive XD
It makes me think that those guys that think that global warming is actually real sure as anything don't live here. Brrrr!
( Sure it's not been snowing? )
- Feeling:
peaceful
Today I got my car going to do some shopping while Tony was at work :] I really dislike my car again atm, I think it'll be fine in summer, but at the mo it's heaters don't work and the minor gap in the door that doesn't let rain in does let damp air in, which then freezes on the windscreen...greeeeeeeat! So once I've defrosted the outside, which needs doing at all times of the day at the moment cause england is such a great country weather-wise, I now have to defrost the inside too! Frost all over me in a car that doesn't have heating xd
Enough ranting about my car!! I'm not as bothered as I seem, I'm actually pretty okay as long as it starts & doesn't break down!
That was a lot of wiffle to distract from today XD Here's a couple of pics :]
( Didn't believe I have ice in my car? (aka boring pic so under a cut ;p) )
- Feeling:
bouncy
Today it was really cold xp I couldn't find much for a pic till I was mooching out the window (lulz nosey) and I thought the sky looked really good today =D Other than that it was a pc day, so needless to say, very little happened! Only a few more days and I'm not going to have so much work and perhaps I can update this better!
- Feeling:
amused
Today was coooold, it was so cold we still had a tiny bit of the little snow we had left about, plus a frost on top of it to make it uber annoying XD
We did go out today, but I don't remember where :x This was the only pic I got today, so here it is.
- Feeling:
cold
Today was cool actually =D Tony gave me a little present- a bottle of Ramune! It's a japanese fizzy pop with a unique shaped bottle. The drink is actually better known for the bottle than the flavour, though i really liked it, it was a mild bubblegum flavour, and it was blue, that's pretty much anything I can ask for in a drink that isn't red bull XD (Bubblegum or Cherry Red Bull- I would buy enough alone to make it worth making) Anyway, I took a vid of opening it, but better ones can be found on youtube if you care to look :]
We went to Wellington then as I wanted to go to Morrisons, where they are doing 3 for the price of 1 on Choc Oranges! <3
As we were on our way out the shop, it tried to snow!! By the time we got home it was snowing properly too, Wooooo! Here are some pics:
(Apparently the snow is holding up most of the east of England, but of course, Telford gets none of that Xdd)
( Random pics )
- Feeling:
happy
Today i went over to Tony's house with him to say hi and stuff as i haven't been over in quite a while really. With work & living back at mine properly I've forgotten to go over, so I must seem a little absent :x Still, it was k as we whiffled a bit and while we were there the new shock for Tony car came by parcelforce! His shock broke last week and so his car has been off the road since. So he and Ron fitted it and after a bit more random chat we went back home to say hi to Dad then we went to work.
The pic is of a new shirt that was hanging in the kitchen, I liked the pattern and needed a pic for today XD
- Feeling:
tired
Today was need an excuse to go out day! So we went to Wellington as on Tuedays B&M stocks up on energy drink...but not today Xc still we had a mooch about here and there, don't think I actually got anything really thou!
Sorry this is quite blahy, that's cause its quarter to 4 in the morning and I'm at work waiting for Tony to finish cleaning the bar, I'm so sick of the park inn! Back tomorrow of course :/
Here is a nice picture anyway ;p
- Dossing Around:United Kingdom, Oakengates
- Feeling:
pissed off
I didn't think I was gonna get a pic today, so the first pic of Dmi was taken as I went out the door on the way to work. Hes looking a little surprised for some reason XD
Work was busy & pretty rubbish as usual, I was on one of the bars tonight, it was hectic x.X I went and got the other pic at about quarter to 12 so I didn't just have the one of Dmi, but other than that not a very eventful day.
( And some christmassy things )
- Feeling:
worried
Todays pictures were gotten when we went to drop Tony off at Pauls, the sky was looking so good as the sun set and so there you go. It was pretty quiet day really, no work (omg!!) and we went to check out Asda for specials but we just can't seem to catch them lately, we got more regular food. Anyway, pics :]
( 1 more sunsetty )
- Feeling:
listless
Today started out well where I got quite a few pics before I went out. I don't actually remember where I went, i think it was just a basic tour about as i wanted to go here & there before Dad & Tony got back as I was present wrapping today! It worked out pretty well although I didn't get anymore pics all day, but I had quite a good time even though Tony was at work and Dad was at the quarterly beermat meeting :3
( And pullipy pictures )
- Feeling:
drained
Today i was having trouble getting a photo, and when we went up town again i wasn't expecting to get one, but I remembered I hadn't taken a pic of the christmas display yet, so here you go! It's much better than the crappy pic I took on the way into the centre of the bad weather XD It's too cold to go outside much, but i think i'm doing better this year on my photo a day than last year, when I had a nearly 2 week hiatus!
- Feeling:
chipper
Today was a little better, esspecially for pictures anyway. The first pic is of our xmas tree, we put it up a couple of days ago. You'll probably get a fuller shot later, but i thought I'd try something a littler different first & so you go one of my favorite baubles. Plus, the tree already has presents under it =D
The second pic is of the chocolates Dad won at the pensioners do at the PI the other day, he actually got two things! I can't remember what the first was actually.
( Just chocits )
- Feeling: rushed
Gonna cut to the chase on today, it was cold & I had a lot of work...that pretty much sums up this week actually, but there you go! My paypacket better be good this month!
So here you go, it was as close as I'd have like'd to have gotten, but there is only so much you can ask from a camera that doesn't have interchangable lenses, and me not being willing to lean on the frosty damp grass!
- Feeling:
blah
Today I knew what I wanted to do so when I got up I went out and started up my car with the bump starter, it started first time too! Quite pleased. I took this pic then headed off for a drive. I was hoping to see something else to photo while I charged the battery but unfortunatly not, so after half an hour or so I went into town as I decided to finally do the majority of my christmas shopping. It took me a couple of hours but I knew what I was getting and so only some minor moochings happened, and I managed not to get anything for myself! xD I felt quite pleased anyway as now what I see & can afford can be extras and I'm good otherwise :]
I went home, then met Dad when i was about to go out again so we went to Tesco as I wanted to mooch a little more, then we picked up Tony. I feel like I did a lot today considering I've got work today as well, yet I've stil only got the one pic!
- Feeling: pleased
Not alot going on today, I worked late again last night & woke up late this morning, plus i didn't really know what to do with myself XD I couldn't quite work up the botherance to start my car again (the battery has been dead for about 5 or 6 days now) and so I stayed in & comped! With the amount of time I'm on this thing you'd think I could keep up to date with my LJ, but alas, no ;p
This is what happens when I can't remember anything interesting that happened in a day ;p
- Feeling:
restless
So todays first pic was taken late last night before we came home from work, I figured if I didn't get a pic of anything else at least i had this one! Today was an early start at work again, so i took the second pic before we went, as Mum requested, its the shelves that are on the stairs. I seem to remember taking a similar pic when I first put my boxed ponies on the shelves, but not well enough to stop me posting it again if I did XD Anyway, I like my boxes of ponies now my others have been put in the loft, so here you go.
( & one from home for a change )
