Christmas is coming...

And don't I know it! At least I've got the bulk of my Christmas gifts now. A few more to get and then I can just kick back and relax. Almost. I haven't put up my decorations yet, my Christmas tree sits alone and neglected in my loft. Poor Christmas tree! :(
Never mind, it goes up Thursday! I'll use it as an excuse to clear out the loft.
It didn't really sink in until the other day that this is my LAST Christmas in my flat. Its...kinda sad. I'll put up my tree, untangle the lights and put them up, then the tinsel, then the decorations I spent so long collecting - all glass, not plastic. *sighs* I'm gonna miss that next year. Still, I can help Mum put up her Christmas tree, maybe even have a little tree in my room. Although come Christmas time I have to vacate it so Nan has a proper bed to sleep on and I have a matrisse on the floor of the computer room. A combanation wardrobe, linen chest, dressing table, computer desk and chair leaves me with just enough room for the matirsse and myself. And iff I'm not careful I streach out in the night and touch the radiator with my feet. Owie. I also have to share the room with my pet rat, and the position of his hanging bed means I always wake up to a happy, smiling face. The only thing I find odd (but not as odd as you'll find it) is the lack of stars on the ceiling. In my room, both at the flat and round my Mum's, the ceiling is covered in stars - glow in the dar plastic ones and smaller, dot like stars painted on with glow in the dark paint. I'm just so used to them I carried them over to the flat, they are like a security blanket I guess, or a night light. It just feels weird when I sleep in a room without them.
Maybe I should stick some more on the ceiling in the computer room too. :)

  2. In the end I settled for garlic mushrooms with sour cream dip. Not very healthy but perfect comfort food and just what I needed. Have never tried cardamon tea, though I accidently bit into a cardamon pod once. Eeeeeeew! The tea must be better, I love tea :)
