So, this is Christmas…

I’ve enjoyed having a wee nosy into what lovely Christmas’s you have all had – so I though it would be time to share mines with you too. I woke up on Saturday morning, had a yummy breakfast and exchanged presents with David. Above is a little peek of what he got me. I’m a lucky lady indeed 🙂 In the Town House envelope is a voucher for my afternoon of indulgence at the Spa at Blythswood Square Hotel in Glasgow. I get an hours treatment of my choice, the Thermal Experience and Afternoon Tea – bliss! I’m telling you, a bit of pampering is going to be the perfect start to 2011. I have no idea of what sort of treatment to go for (wraps, scrubs, massages and the likes) so if any of you gals have been to a spa before and can reccommend something, please do!

In the afternoon, I went over to my dad’s for more pressie exchanging and an early glass of fizz. Here’s Max on the playmat me and David got him from Hamleys – he is getting so strong, holding his head up like that. This exact time last year, My dad and julie announced to me in the car, when they picked me up from Davids house on boxing day, that they were pregnant 🙂 Talking about how time flies is an absolute bloody understatement!

We then went on to my step mum Julie’s parents house for dinner. Had the most yummy meal and my elegant tipple of choice was Cherry Sourz and Coke, haha. Only had a couple though, I find that when I’m so full of food there ain’t much room left for alcohol. I completely forgot to get a decent picture of my outfit, and to be honest kinda forgot to take pictures the rest of the day but you can kinda see my tuxedo-esque dress (from a few posts back) in the picture above. And my attempt at the Ardell lashes in the classy phone pic above that! For my bestie Jenn’s 21st I had to get her to put them on for me, and times before that the Mac girls have applied them for me so I was nervous, but pleased with the results, when attempting it myself. You’d never think I was a girl with how rubbish I am at those kinda things!

After a wonderful dinner (and my gran brought over her home made meringues with raspberries for dessert, I really need to learn how to bake like that!) I went back and stayed at my Dad and Step mums house, as David was back over at his parents for the night anyways. Fell asleep watching Dr Who on IPlayer on my Dads Ipad, But then the most horrible thing happened 🙁 woke myself up during the night feeling so ill, and was sick on and off for a few hours. I know for a fact that it wasn’t food poisoning, because everyone else is fine and our christmas dinner was perfect – so I think its maybe been a 24 hour bug or something cause I know there’s been quite a bit of that going around at the mo. I went to my mums on boxing day, my dad took me over in the morning but the rest of the day was a total write off, I was just so ill. Really haven’t been that sick in a long time. My legs and back were in agony too, for some strange reason. My gran wanted me to go to hospital but I took some more paracetamol and slept it off. David picked me up and took me home and today I have felt much better. Still, not the best way to spend boxing day when you’re still meant to be doing some more visiting and eating leftover food eh?

This was my organised mess in the living room yesterday when I finally got up and about (but not out of my jammies all day, just because I can!) and attempted to do the whole ‘sorting away’ of pressies. It is actually beginning to scare me at how well my family and friends know me. Lots of cupcake/baking related things, Hello Kitty in various shapes and forms, tattoo inspired prints, teapot shaped jewellery, dresses, my fave perfume and the dermalogica clean start moisturiser I have been lusting over for a very long time. I am so overwhelmed with the gifts I’ve recieved so far, and I still have a few friends to exchange pressies with… and I am a very greatful lass ♥

I’m thinking I have probs missed the best of the sales by now, but maybe that’s a good thing?! Today I’m heading into town to meet my friend Erin and keep her company for part 2 of her tattoo sitting, unlike the first post I will remember to get a picture this time 🙂 And then later on today I’m heading over to my mums for my wee bro Aarons 4th birthday. So, has 2010 been everything you’d hoped it be so far? Will be doing a little new years post at the end of the week… seriously can’t believe that time is almost upon us.

Love, Ayden x
