2016!

Something about the look of 2016 just makes me warm to it. Something makes me think it's going to be a good year for me. I'm not entirely sure why, I can't quite put my finger on it, but, something just feels good. I'm not sitting here saying that I'm gonna be a new me in the New Year, but, I would like to think that I'm going to be a slightly improved or upgraded version of the person I've been over the last year. I don't think I'm a bad person, just think there are ways that I could maybe better myself.

It seems insane to think that 2016 is only a few days away. Almost impossible. I remember when I was a kid, I never used to get the hype about New Year. I just thought it was an excuse for adults to have a drink, sing that song while holding hands, and cry about being hungover the next day? Well, I spent a couple of New Years Day mornings hugging the toilet and sleeping on the bathroom floor, but that's another story.

It's all over so soon!

I can't believe it's Christmas time already - this year has gone so quick! It feels like my birthday was only yesterday, and I worked up until Christmas Eve, so I guess it feels like it's just flown by. I just want to say I hope you, and all your families had the most amazing Christmas, and I'm sure for some it will be the first without a loved one, but just believe that it will get easier - I've spent a few without my Dad now, and it does get easier, I promise.

I MADE IT!

21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 21! 

I do not even know where to begin! How on earth have I managed to make it to 21? I can't believe it - how my poor mother hasn't killed me I do not know.

Wellllllllllllll, I do not even know where to begin, so I'll start by saying a huuuuuuuuge THANK YOU!!!! to everybody that sent me messages through all kinds of social media as well as good old cards - your words, wishes, and gifts are honestly so appreciated, and I can't thank you enough. Sorry if it took me a short while to get back to you, I was in.....

Christmas 2015.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING! 

I'm such a big kid, it's unreal. Christmas is my favourite time of the year! November hasn't even finished yet, and I'm already watching Christmas movies, buying my presents and wrapping until my heart is content! I've finished all my Christmas shopping apart from a couple of bits that I need to get from Bluewater, and I feel so good about it all being done this early! The next week or two will be hectic and full of delivery after delivery, but that's pretty exciting too. I feel like I've treated myself when I get a delivery, even if it's not for me. That saying about living another 3-5 working days really is true for me.....

The power of words.

With a few crap things going on in my personal life at the moment, I feel like an absolute douche for admitting it, but sometimes I really do take comfort from words. Just anonymous quotes that haven't been said to me, but I've read, and thought that they really do relate to me.

My dream shopping list.

I always have dreams about winning the lottery, and I've planned out my whole life ready for when I do - anyone else?

So, seeing as I'm a shopping addict and I've got a 'Favourites' bar full of clothes, shoes, make up and bags, I thought I'd share with you a few (understatement) of the things I'm dreaming of every single day. There are a couple of items on the list that I may or may not buy when Alex takes me away next month for my 21st birthday. I have no idea where I'm going, but all I do know is that I can shop. Yay!
