My feelings toward Christmas has changed

It generally does.
I'm slowly starting to love Christmas this year!
I'm guessing after yesterdays Christmas dinner at Susan's house, with her savoury pudding. I can't remember the last time I had her savoury pudding, but its been way too long. (I even had some leftovers for breakfast before work.)

I also got my first Christmas present of the year! (A bag Jelly Belly jelly beans, and three lipglosses in little cupcake containers. Cute as a button!)
Also got to look quite a few houses covered in Christmas lights on the way home, which is always nice.

I've nearly finished my Christmas shopping. Just have to go to the bottle shop and get mum some Hibiscus flowers to put wine, and either a bottle of Limoncello or a bottle of champagne.
Also bought my cat a present today after work (because my cat gets a present every Christmas, and even gets a birthday present/birthday cake on her birthday.) David Jones have Christmas bon bons for cats and dogs, so of course Meggie got the cat one. It had a little cat-nip filled mouse in the bon bon, which probably won't get played with, but it was just too cute to say no to. And I really enjoy using my DJs staff discount card.

6 more days till Christmas!!!

busy days, fun days, full days

It's nearly Christmas. I have a total love/hate relationship with Christmas.
Im not sure how I feel about it this year.

My christmas tree looks so sad. At least the christmas lights on my balcony look pretty.

Winner!!!

One of my favourite food blogs, http://www.notquitenigella.com/, often has competitions, which I enter on a regular basis. I enter alot of competitions on a regular basis.
Point of this blog is, I Won!!!


I found a mail package sitting at my door on Melbourne Cup day, as I was leaving to go meet friends for sushi. I went back inside and hurriedly opened my mail package, to find this bag of granuesli sitting inside. I texted Em to let her know I was going to be late, and I excitedly tried my granuesli, even though I had already eaten breakfast. This stuff is gorgeous!!!

I would like to thank NQN and The Unexpected Guest for letting me win this prize. My summer is going to be delicious!!!
