Hello

Hope everyone is well. May I announce that as I type this my feet feel like that are going to fall off because they are that cold.. Anyway, onto the blog post 😛

It is actually starting to feel like Christmas now!! (Insert picture here)

Here is my Christmas tree 😀 We have just put it up today and it looks so pretty. I am really looking forward to Christmas now. (I didn’t think I would find myself saying that) but I am looking forward to it. I am still nervous about countless things but as we were putting our tree up today, the Christmas spirit finally started to kick in. And I like it 😀 Me and my sister had the Christmas carols going and it was just really nice!

This afternoon/evening I have been sorting out all my photos that are on my computer as there as a lot of them and they were all just so jumbled up! And I thought I would share some. So this can be a kind of “less words more pictures” kind of post!

Here is a picture of my Millie that I took the other day. Take no notice of her dirty belly, discusting dog 😉 As you can see she really does need a brush!

Old picture but Alfie seriously loves sitting on the chair so he can watch whoever it is going by.

Now we are on the topic of my dogs, particularly Alfie, I have a funny/strange story to tell. This starts by me saying that I strongly believe animals have a sixth sense and I believe that they know exactly what is going on at exactly that time. This time last year, I was quite deep into my eating disorder. As you probably know, it’s very distressing for the person who is watching you failing to eat. Like I remember my mum would tell me to eat and I would just shout and scream at her. This happened almost every night. And this is where Alfie comes in, the dogs are always shut in the kitchen/breakfast room area as those two places are linked without a door. So everytime Alfie heard a raised voice or saw mum mum getting upset, he would let himself out of the room and go upstairs or in a different room. He can let himself out as he is quite a bit dog and he just jumps up and uses his paws to push down the handle (clever dog) Well anyway, I remember one time when he did it again and my mum said “oh now you have upset Alfie again” I don’t think I will ever forget that. It’s obvious that eating disorders are going to have an impact on family and freinds but never does anyone think that animals would be effected. Of course they are.

This is a picture of my hamster that I took a while ago. I walked into my room one evening and I just saw him hanging upside down in his cage. I thought it was hilariously funny so of course I had to snap a picture right away 😉

My pumpkin that I carved this halloween. (I was quite proud of it) 😛

An the last picture I am going to upload is this one. When I went to Corfu in 2011. I found it as I was organising all my pictures and look how beautiful it is!

My day.

Hello

I hope everyone is having a good weekend 🙂 Well, this morning I did a bit of my knitting. I love it. It’s my favourite distraction technique now and it is coming along really well! I am knitting a cardigan and so far I have done the left side and the right side and now I am currently doing the back. I still have quite a while to go but I am determined to get it finished before Christmas! 🙂

And then, after I had lunch this afternoon, my mum, my sister and me went into a town. It’s not our closest town as it’s about 45 minutes drive but we really like going there as most of the shops are independent ones and it is just really nice doing Christmas shopping there. Even though I have already done my Christmas shopping but whatever, who cares. 😛 They had quite a few markets there where I had a good look around while my mum and sister wizzed off without me haha! I loved looking at all the jewellery and I really wanted to get a necklace with my birth stone on and that totally failed as my birth stone is diamond. Expensive 😛 And then we went into our fave shop there called “odds and sudds” Let me tell you, this shop is amazing!! It sells loads of soaps and bath creamers and things like that. And they sell these like small balls with tones of flower petals in them and you put them in your bath and it makes it SO oily and smooth. Well, I actually got a lot from there last Christmas in my stocking. 😛 And then another one of our fave shops we went to is a kitchen shop. Basically it does all things kitchen and I wanted to buy the whole shop.. It’s probably the first time I have actually seen “cups” You know what the Americans measure in? Well I really wanted them so then that means I can cook American recipes. Lol! So yeah, I think I have already established that when it is time to go to uni I am deffo getting all my stuff from there as they even had a set of: large mixing bowl, small mixing bowl, colander, sieve and five measuring cups. How cool is that?!

Then when we came home I was absolutely frozen so I sat infront of the fire to warm myself up. And now I have just been having a relaxing evening. I watched Merlin which was fun as always and im actually on my own tonight which I don’t like because it means being left with my own thoughts. So my mum actually said I can have the dogs on my bed while I sleep. So yes I will be doing that 🙂 They are springer spaniels if you were wondering 😛

That’s all the positive things I have to say really. I have lots more but I don’t want to spoil a good post. I thibk im going to hit my bed now as I am shattered. Night<3

I love brushing my dogs till they are sparkeling clean and pure white.

 

She woulden’t stand up for me to take the picture, she was just sat there wagging her tale haha. aww she’s adorable. I didn’t get a picture of my other dog. He absolutely loved being brushed. It sounded like he was purring 😀
