The time has arrived where I can’t drive down my street back home without seeing millions of twinkly, pretty lights dangling off the roofs of the christmassy dressed houses. I’ve got to admit, every time I see them all my heart skips a couple of beats and I feel festively excited for what’s just around the corner.

I felt that Christmas this year would be a lonely one but with D by my side, it might just be one of the best ever. I can’t wait for us to live out our plans and celebrate both Christmas and New Year. It’s been a rough year full of more downs than ups, but the main thing, the important thing is that we’ve stuck together and helped eachother through and are now closer than ever. God knows what I’d do without my D.

Decided to grab a quick KFC with D earlier and after a stressful drive into town (why is it so busy? It’s SUNDAY!) we arrived at the drive through, debit card in hand. The crackly voice over the order box announced: “Cash only at the drive through tonight, is that okay?” Shock…horror! NO! No it’s bloody not KFC, pull your finger out! Ended up in a queue of skanky chicken hungry chavs after racing one keen individual to the doors. Finally ended up with boneless banquets. It’s been a trying night…

Right now, I’ve been banished to my bedroom as Mum and Dad continue to wrap christmas presents. I literally feel like a 3 year old, you have NO idea how painfully tempting it is to go and peep behind the blinds at what pressies are getting hidden away ready for christmas day. To save myself the temptation, I’ve decided to crack open a snowball and concentrate on some business writing. Focus….adapt or die!
