The big man has been and gone...

...and thats another Xmas over with. All that planning and prep last for a few hours then you just sit round watching repeats on TV and stuffing your face with chocolate and turkey buttys.

I had a lovely time though. All my family including my Grandma from Ireland were here and i got to play with my little Jess lots and lots :-)

Fave part of Xmas Day HAS to be the cracker joke. This year was outstanding:

What do you call a chicken in a shell suit? An Egg.

Hahahahaha!!!! I think i was the only person that laughed.

Xmas does do one thing that lasts though. You find out who really cares for you. You have all your family making a fuss with lots of hugs and cuddles, reunited with old friends...but despite being busy, and the time old phrase 'out of sight, out of mind' the friends that you are apart from send you a little message to let you know they're thinking of you.

Its the ones that you expect a message from, that dont actually contact you all Xmas & NY that you realise really are a waste of space...(and i am referring to a particular individual, but i knew that all along anyway)!

Who killed Archie?!

It could be anyone really couldnt it...but i want to know where that little geek was at the time of death...Ben Mitchell. It was him!

Im glad that dirty old man is out of it though. He made my skin crrrrrawl. Ergh, as if he was sleeping with Janine, raped Stacey and was giving Peggy one too. SICK! As if he is capable...i mean, his face has transformed into a ballbag with eyebrows - imagine what his ballbags has transformed into. Shrivelled grapes maybe?

Either way, this story is bound to go on for a while and drag on and on. However, we're meant to find out in Feb.

Oh and in Corrie world....poor Sally.

At the minute, the family are completely obsessed with Twilight. When i say the family, im referring to Mother, sister and I. Mum is probably the worst though. She has managed to read all 4 books in a matter of weeks. Its AMAZING. The story and the characters are so addictive. Im starting Eclipse tonight...how exciting!

So this weird week before Xmas and New Year is almost over. Working New Years Eve again, not a bad thing as NYE is probably the most overrated night of the year. Overpriced, and when you do find somewhere to go you have to worry about getting home as the buses don't run and the taxis are triple. Roll on 2nd January when everything is back to normal...

Well i best be off.

A week until Christmas...

As if it is Xmas next week...i cant quite believe it!

I finally have the tree up in the house. Going to have a little hunt for some candy canes this afternoon to put on it, but its fairy lights galore in the living room, yayers. Not really gone overboard on the Xmas shopping, purely for the fact im skint...and rather lazy - just a few more things to get and a bit of wrapping to do then all done and dusted.

My beautiful Godson was born last month. His name is Jude. We haven't met yet as he's all the way down in London, but fingers crossed i will get there one day next week for the afternoon and get to spend a few hours with him before coming back up to Manchester. Work is really busy at the moment which is really good, so its hard to fit in the little extra bits that i used to be able to do when i had a boring office job.

Its only Tuesday but we are all counting down the minutes until Saturday. Spending the afternoon getting ready along with lots well deserved pampering with the Meow, then lots of pre-drinkys with the girlys then LOTS of dancing at the Council Pop night ant Night & Day where our friends are playing and DJing. Tiz all very exciting! Im looking forward to wearing the dress which i have annoyingly been going on about for weeks and weeks!

Luckily my wonderful Auntie bought it for me on her magic credit card from the ASOS website, it came yesterday. I was worried it wouldnt fit but it turns out its a bit too big, but there is no time to change it now and it will be fine...

Its my 1st Saturday night off in aaages and i'm looking forward to seeing everyone plus its my last night out in Manchester with my friends until 2010! Unfortunately, when i REALLY look forward to a particular night, someone seems to ruin it for me. It best not happen this time or there will be hell.

I hope the Strangerways DJ's play this on Saturday:

What a classing piece on song-manship! Wonderful.

Miss Whorlow and myself are still mulling over venues for our bday party. Exactly a month to go so we best get our skates on!!! The last year of my early 20's and Kates last year of her late 20's - oh my. DJ's sorted, my friend is baking cakes, a couple of people are going to play some live music, but its just the darn venue!

I suppose I best get back to work. We have the wonderful Futureheads playing on Friday, so spreading the word to the masses.

I also need to fit in time to tan and sort my hair out. I look like an anemic albino version of Darth Vader at the moment!

All I want for Christmas...

Im feeling all weepy and sorry for myself,

Im up and down like a yo-yo at the minute. One minute I'm really happy and the next something will happen and Im sad again. I know exactly why i feel this way, but Mother Natures visit hasn't really helped matters. I just want a chance for things to go my way for a change.

I want a Xmas jumper! I think that will make me feel better. And a cuddle. And a lazy snooze. Actually...a cuddle whilst having a lazy snooze in my Xmas jumper just after drinking a hot chocolate in the cold wrapped up with mittens and a wooly scarf.

I want this:

If I could write Father Christmas a list for my most perfect Christmas, it would be:

• A cozy warm home with a toasty fire.
• Light fluffy snow falling outside.
• A real Xmas tree decorated with twinkling lights and candy canes.
• All my family round for Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.
• A wonderful man to love me and make me happy.
• A little girl to give lots of cuddles to, buy pretty dresses and dolls for...

I will keep hoping and maybe one day.

For now I'll just have to make do with the bloody hot chocolate and jumper!!!

Xmas moan & a wishlist...

I love Xmas, but its starting to worry me as its such a financially draining time of year. Seen as I have the worst credit history known to man, its not like i can even get myself a credit card and shove it all on there, which seems to be the done thing in December. Im having to actually use money that I have worked myself for. Money which i want to be spending on dresses, makeup & socialising. I seem to keep on committing myself to buying outrageously expensive presents for people too, like a Wii for my sister, a new light for my dads rare scooter, a new dress and make-over for my mother...does this mean I'm going to have to sacrifice and stay in?...errrr NO!

Gonna try and turn my hand to Ebay selling tomorrow I thi

nk. See how that works out for me and my Xmas fund.

I have already seen an array of must-haves for my seasonal wardrobe, such as:

and yes...they're all from Topshop. Theres a nice black sweater with red sequined lips on in the shop next to Night & Day aswell that I wouldnt mind having either. I want them all now! Oh, and some nice back slouchy boots to wear them all with.

Well it is party season, and even though my Xmas wardrobe isn't looking very promising, i'm thinking of taking a trip to my nearest MAC counter and adding a bit of eye glitter to my make-up bag and getting into the festive spirit. I have a few events to look forward to, a couple in particular that i need to be looking my best for, so thinking caps on.

I desperately want the dress Lily wore to the Children In Need, Albert Hall gig. A friend said she may be able to sort it for me, so fingers crossed i may have something for Xmas that resembles something similar to this:

Oh god, i just remembered im meant to be gym-ing it this week, so i think number one on the shopping list is trainers - yuk!

Anyway, off to dream about lovely clothes.

Post Numero Uno...

Now then...

I already keep a blog, but its more like a diary and I was in need of place where i could have a general light-hearted ramble...so here it is.

Named after one of my favorite Lily Allen songs & lyric "Everythings just wonderful...I'm having the time of my life", I'm going to use this blog as a little sarcastic outlook on my views of love, life & celebrity - should be interesting... I'm guessing it will only be read by me and my Mum (if she ever works out how to use the internet) but i shall enjoy looking back on it in time to come and think what a complete idiotic wazzock I am.

I have recently developed a bad case of insomnia. Tonight I made myself a nice cup of camomile tea, hoping it would help me unwind. There seemed to be nothing on the TV at 1.20am. I flicked the remote about a bit and then it happened - I was subjected to probably to worst programme to watch when trying to wind down...Loose Women!

4 middle aged women sat around a table bitching about men and other women. There was a reason why your Mums would send you outside to play when their friends came round, and Loose Women is solid proof about why. At 23 year old, i would much rather be pre-warned and sent upstairs to listen to my CD's for an hour, but just like when your Mums friends came round, the nosey person inside you would want to ear-wig and hear about what they were going on about...

Todays episode mainly consisted of all 4 of them massaging each others egos (oh no, thats every episode), how that Sherry is upset about growing old and having her ego massaged by the other 3, Danny Dyer disgustingly massaging their egos (I mean it was full on 'pull your knickers down and let me bang you over the table' flirting) and then the 4 of them having the cheek to talk about how they want men to be.

I was mostly out-raged by Miss Droopy-Face herself Carol McGiffin.

After spending series after series being the ultimate sour-faced man-hater, she goes on to talk about how she wants men to be real men - i.e be the hunter/bread winner.Im sorry, but have you not spent the majority of your sad lonely life going on about women being independant and not needing men??...Now you have a man in your life (or should i say boy seen as hes half your age) your all smiley and trying to act like the little lady.

Well you saggy ball-bag faced hypocrite - you annoy the sodding hell out of me. Please DO ONE!

Now, after that out-rage, i had to put a wash on, hang it up to dry and have another camomile tea. Im still no where near tired, and i'm all ill and run down of late. I need a normal sleep pattern.

Well, I may get under the covers and try and think happy thoughts. Thoughts of cozy winter nights, Xmas markets, boxing day sales, scented candles and cuddles...

Farewell for now...
