Turning 28

So I turned 28 on Tuesday. 28...gosh that sounds so strange. I woke up with the sun shining through the window. A few little presents were opened, and then we wandered down the road to have breakfast. We decided to go to the Green Door Deli. David mentioned it was my birthday, and the guys said I could have a free birthday desert. David treated me to birthday pancakes and the guys gave me extra bacon.
We then went into Canterbury to meet my awesome friend Sarah. We looked around the cute shops and then decided to go for lunch. We went to my favourite cafe in Canterbury, Cafe turquoise. We had iced coffees and sandwiches.
I got such wonderful gifts such as a new Kanken, holiday money for my trip, and fun boardgames.
I also received the greatest balloon, which was a huge Hello Kitty! I am so in love with it. My mum made me a pastel rainbow cake, and it was the most tasty cake ever! Go mumma Jennings! I had a brilliant day with family and friends. Being 28 isn't too bad so far.

forever yours

just watched Alex Day on the radio 1 web cam....man, hes so cute and awkward. i really want forever yours as the Christmas number 1...sadly, i know that's not going to happen.anyway, i am feeling the Christmas spirit at the moment. apart from being really ill this morning with throwing up and feeling like death..i have put on a brave face and got on with it.

finishing wrapping presents today for some work colleges. one of my friends loves opening presents. a good example of this would be that i have to wrap her birthday/Christmas card as well, so she has more to open. i was inspired by a wonderful package i got through the post from my friend Sophy which was full of tiny little presents wrapped up..therefore she has a box full of tiny individually wrapped gifts. i cant wait to see her face.

i have come to the conclusion either my friends know me really well, or i am just a giant nerd. i have received some wonderful presents from close friends recently, including hp and star wars Lego sets, doctor who mugs, a Starbucks mug, beautiful handmade necklaces, notebooks, and other crazy little things.

its one of my managers birthday today. we are working two night shifts this week, 6pm till 4am..the first one tonight. she is bringing birthday cake, and i have wrapped up some party hats for her, so we can wear them tonight. all night. that's my aim.

one brick

so today i was woke up by my sister moaning at my dad about when we were going to leave...and there is me still in bed...oops. we went to bluewater today. my sister wanted to have a look around for birthday ideas, and i needed to get her a present. it was really nice to all spend some time together, its not often we are all together. we went for lunch, then looked around the shops, we spilt up as i needed to find my sister gifts, and then later came back together for coffee and a chat. so i did end up in the Lego shop today...ended up buying 3 crazy little make-your-own Lego figures and some more harry potter Lego..i cannot help myself...Lego rules. oh i also ended up joining this Lego group thingy...yes i am a total nerd.

i did get Victoria a Hollister shirt and some other little random bits and pieces. i brought myself some stationary, the cute bird paper clips, and submarine on DVD..which i am now off to watch.

want to be a rock star

so went on a mini adventure at the weekend. went to Devon for my lovely friend Laura's birthday. my other lovely friend Claire went as well, which was really nice. the train journeys were not very nice though...everyone seemed to be rushing around at the weekend, trying to get home or to different places. on the Saturday we went laser questing in the woods, it was freezing cold, so cold i thought it would be breathing ice and my hands would crack in to a million pieces. but after a few games we all warmed up. after a lovely chinese takeaway and a little bit of strictly come dancing, like the good old days, we then went out dancing and visiting cute little pubs and cocktail bars.ah the journey home wasn't the best either. had to stand up all the way home...well, i say stand up. after an hour into the journey once this guy got off, i took his space, and sat on the floor playing the gameboy...Lego batman...and kinda zoned out. it was so nice to get home, because it had been such a cold day. then of course, the next day it snows!! and hasn't really stopped since. works been kinda odd with people that can't get in, and why are people still coming shopping in the giant snow!! i guess its because its Christmas soon. one of my friends has just lost their father. its such a sad time. but sometimes i feel like a rubbish friend because i never know what to say in these situations. all i could say was that i was there if they needed me. it was my day off today, which was a rather good thing because the snow is super thick today and still falling! i wrapped Christmas presents, listened to Christmas songs, laughed at Michael buble as Justin bieber, wished friends good luck, heard about a few friends being snowed in, wrote letters, and have enjoyed being inside on such a horrible cold day.

Merry Christmas!! i hope you all had a lovely time. i got some beautiful camera's before Christmas, so lots of photos were taken, and i cannot wait to get them developed.at Christmas lunch, i rather liked being max from where the wild things are----well i felt like him with my crown. i am going to see it on Tuesday with J. it looks amazing, i have already seen a really cool puzzle book i want from the movie. i love Christmas because i always get to spend time with my sister, who always seems to be mega busy all the time...fun and laughs were had. PLUS-----its not Christmas without the Doctor Who Christmas Special, which was amazing...a little sad because you know the 10th doctor's time is drawing to a close, but exciting all the same.

Mandy got me two cute tatty devine bird rings, a rather odd bird decoration, a lovely photo frame--(which will be filled with an amazing photo from our latest adventure)-----AND, some rather twilight rice decorations for the tops of cup cakes!!!!!!!!!!-------i cannot wait to make cakes and put them on the top!

rain

so it rained all day today...and didn't stop. ah normally i like the rain, but for some reason it put me in a bad mood, and made me unhappy. i have been cold all day. and have not stopped drinking hot tea. my sister came back last night, i was super happy to see her. She got me some lovely gifts. She got me a snow globe for my "collection"..(if you can call it that..haha i only have a few). I don't know what it is, i find them really tacky, but i think that's why I like them..its become a 'thing' now to collect them. She also got me an ultra cool clock! and some cute hello kitty biscuits and a chocolate umbrella! :)
