I am so freaking poorly. I have snot coming out of me like my face is Niagara fucking Falls... (Niagara... it sounds like Viagra... Hee hee... Pav, Ev and Maa if you are reading this... LOL!!!!!). I feel like absolute hell tbh. I'm all wrapped up in my snuggle-suit (onesie for those people that wish to call it that). I have a duvet and a hot water bottle on the sofa waiting - nay, beckoning me to come over and snuggle within it's soft, warm, loving embrace... Okay, getting a little creepy about the sofa. The heater is on and I have The Golden Compass on (I have it plused on the SKY box).
My Maa came to visit me a few months back and while she was here got me this as a I-came-to-visit-you present:
So I thought that this year I decided I would make some of my presents so I made my Maa her's first cuz she was going away and I miss her desperately so I thought it would be good for her to have something. This is what I made (Don't laugh):
Can I just say, right? I was the kid in the textiles class that screamed everytime the sewing machine was turned on. I got my friends to my that bean bag thing and the I spent ages designing my cushion so I didn't have to make it. I hated any tech class - Food tech., Textiles and the one where we made a clock - I got my mate to help make an egg clock. I was shit at cooking, shit at drawing, shit at making anything, shit at using tools - basically, I was just shit at everything that didn't include a book and not actually having to do anything. Before I had a fear of everything I made a teacosy for my Maa when I was like 4... That was the last thing I made where I didn't think the sewing machine was going to suck me in and sew me up into some horrific giant human voodoo doll. I genuinely thought that would happen - that or I would stab the needle through my finger like that girl did a few years ago. Anyways, so yeah I was proper proud of myself and then I made these:
The top one is for my sister and the bottom one is for my brother. They kinda look like them! My sister is a little podgy and my nickname for her is "suto hathi" which translates as Little Elephant and my brother is... like me - weird and our limbs are too long for our body. Hahaha I just noticed one of the legs is longer than the other on all of them, the arms have the same dealio! Haha.
A few weeks back me and the mister went to watch the lights being switched on in the centre! It was fun - lots of people - but fun. My favorite bit was probably The Loveable Rogues followed by my husbands face when Chico was grinding Santa... Not nice. The fireworks were good though and I got flashing rabbit ears that made me so happy.
It's funny cuz too the right was like the art gallery and the museum and the town hall on the left was two strip clubs, a betting shop and I think a Costa Coffee...
Hmmm...OMG have you seen Harvey Nichols? Wtf is up with their window displays. My husband likes it, I have to admit that it does totally steal the limelight in that area. Here have a look:
It's like Lady boys of Bangkok meets high end fashion. Weird. But then again they always have some freaky shit going on!
I kinda like the Victoria Quarter's decor! What do you think? The mister has branded it as pretentious. Sometimes, I wonder whether I am pretentious. Idk I grew up in a very privileged environment and always got what I wanted. He is always teasing me about my stupid "posh" accent and the weird mannerisms I have. It's funny until the expensive taste comes out - no, I'm joking, I've never met anyone who loves spoiling their other half as much as he does me.
I kinda liked The Lights decorations - they are a little odd to look at but they are super sparkly and pretty.
Gosh, I am feeling really bad, back to sleep for me I think.
Bye- Bye!Monica xxx
