Christmas is creeping up on me like a …big creepy Christmas thing. I can’t believe it’s the 21st December already! Thankfully I’ve done all my shopping and just need to wrap a few more family presents.
The reason why it’s taken me so long to update is because I’ve been on a different shift at work. I was working 6am-2pm
Strangely enough, it actually went a lot quicker than my usual 3hr shift. That’s probably because I’m coaching again, so I’m kept really busy, and also because I’m actually seeing daylight for a change! I had to come home early on a couple of occasions because I’ve been in so much pain that I felt sick, but other than that, I really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to my wage slip next month too. It should certainly look healthier than my 3hr a night one! Well, up until they take away £157 of it away because Human Resources hadn’t adjusted my hours for 2 months in a row
I had my own little team on the morning shift and they all did really well. They’re all nice too and are very patient with my attempts at talking! I tried to have a talk with them every morning about any mistakes I spotted so hopefully they wouldn’t make them again. I still stuttered and tripped over my words, but they seem to understand me.
Laura (my ickle sis) and Simon (her boyfriend) were working there over Xmas too, which was very cool! Back to my usual hours though tomorrow, which I’m actually looking forward to. I love the morning shift and I enjoyed coaching the people there, but it’s nice to go back to typing for a bit. I can just slam on some tunes and type away furiously, whilst the Managers and Coaches are stressing out. Harr. I don’t think that I could stand the slowness of some of the Keyers anymore either. I feel bad for saying this, but watching people typing with two fingers really slowly and taking forever to decide what to do evoked my BEXO-RAGE! I wanted to move them out of the way and do it myself! Haha I feel horrible now
We’ve got Lydia a little Christmas outfit which I can’t wait to see her in. It’s red satin-type material dress with white fluffy stuff (excuse all the technical jargon
) around the hem. It also has a stole to go around her shoulders. It’ll probably last two minutes before she covers it in food. Awww. We’ve bought her a load of Tellytubbies stuff for Xmas. We had one video which I’m sick to death of, so we got her 4 more, plus 4 Tellytubby cuddly toys. Hopefully she wont go off them after 5 minutes!:lol:
We’ve had a new kitchen fitted! Yay! Our kitchen is really tiny so it only took two days to do. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I adore it. The oven looks a bit out of place because we didn’t get a new one, but that would have been an extra £300 at least, so as long as it works, I’m not bothered. I’ll try to take some pics when I get the chance. I’m going to do my first bit of cooking in it once Dave gets back from up town. I’ll be making some blueberry muffins. I’m undecided about whether I’m actually going to share them though! *tummy rumbles*
Time for housework now! CAN YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT?!1twelvty ¬! LOLROFFLELAMO

Haha – know exactly what you mean about the videos. We have a Noddy DVD and a Tots TV DVD that we’ve literally watched THOUSANDS of time.
Keeps em quiet though, right?
