Is it possible to combine the two? A voucher and a handmade christmas card or some homebaked biscuits/chocolates? Just an idea. :)Quote:

Then, I made friends with her boyfriend, I really didn't think much of him at first but then got to know him and he's a really ncie guy and he's one of my good friends now :) You jsut get used to not seeing them much.. I still see her, not as frequent, but when I do it's really ncie because it's somethign different :)...just try not to let an argument erupt and maybe the party will be good for the 3 of you, maybe you and your friends boyfriend can get to know each other :)...Sorry for the essay.
And Lea, neither of your options is tacky, and if someone hand made me something I'd be sooo over the moon that they took time and effort to make something for me that I could keep nice :) and I've made cakes for my friends before for brithdays and that and they've gone down really well :)
Alright day, I was supposed to go to rehearsals for our "nativity play" (I say nativity, but Sixth Forms version.. slightly comediatised haha, I'm the star) but I oculdn't go because I had to babysit my sister so that my Mum could go to the emergency dentist as her tooth is really playing her up.
Not done alot other than that. Me and my Nan had an Indian :) and my aunty and cousin came over too.
Now I'm just going to have a bath, make some lit notes and go to bed.. then partayyyy tomorrow night which I'm well excited for :D:D
I have to dress up for the thing I'm going to tomorrow; my mum's put all my Busines type clothes in the wash... oops.
I asked my Mum to get proof of posting on my friend's birthday card as it had an iTunes voucher and £1 in it (she's 16 on Friday so I thought £1 per year would be good) and I don't see her much because she lives 6 miles away so it has to be posted. She only went and got recorded delivery on it instead and my friend's family are never there when the post arrives.
Economics test :eek: 24/25 and I only got the one wrong because I changed the answer to a wrong one at the last minute. Someone with much better GCSE's than mine got exactly the same so I was happy even though I could have had 25.
Had to take a DVD back to Blockbusters this evening. It was supposed to go back on Sunday :ninja: My friend told the woman that it didn't work (we hadn't had time to watch it) so she cancelled the late charge and gave us two nights for free :D
We decided to have something to eat so I made poached eggs on toast, except I haven't ever poached eggs :rotfl: It was fun, I put an egg in an the pan boiled over so there's egg stuck to his cooker and pan. There was more egg left on the pan, cooker and in the bin than on our plates :lol: Then we watched the DVD, I got scared, screamed a few times and kept jumping. We were watching Prince Caspian :ninja: It's a PG! Sam kept laughing at me then he said something really random.
I watched 300 last night with the lads in my house, it was weird! to say the least. Getting one of my assignments back today! i am soo scared its untrue. THen really need to make a start on the packing, where i am going to start i odn't know.
I am going out tonight which i am looking forward to, we are going to varsity for pound party and then back to a mates as an end of year gatherine as most of us are going home on the weekend for xmas.
Handmade Christmas cards = sore subject. We were selling them at a trade fair for Young Enterprise today and we still have about 74 left! We want them all gone by Monday, tall order I think. We had the teacher take us to it in the minibus and we have £6 net profit. Baddddd. We thought we'd won today because they were describing a 'creative company' and the company that won looked like they'd just bought a load of christmas cards and sold them on! :banned: It was a laugh but that won't help us win the Area Finals! Some judge thinks we have a good chance but I don't see how after the winners they chose today.Quote:

The judges said ours looked professional, it's just a sore subject with the group because they didn't sell well; a load of people had already sent their Christmas cards.
Handed my last assignment in. Did a lot better on this one than the crime and deviance. Had lots of stuff to sort out before I leave tomorrow. I got roped into cleaning the kitchen up, it looks like it did the day we moved in. Still got to tidy up, hover, dust and take a dvd back to Blockbusters.
I'm actually rather liking some of the gifts I made my mate. Not finished yet, but I'm getting rather into haha!!!!
So far I have made
- A photo merge of her and all of us, which I will print out when the printer decides to print and put glitter and all around it :D.
- A snake
- A book of her favourite things (pictures) << all glittery and stuff :D
I'm also going to make a santa finger puppet, a snow man finger puppet, write a short funny christmas story which includes all of us, tree bauble and a christmas flag lol... possibly more if I think of stuff haha.
^ I'm sure your friend'll love that Lea :D
I love that my college is next to a rugby grounds. Every now and then they have a match and the college closes for the day. :D
Went shopping with my mum and got some short leather boots with heels :D and a couple of jodi picoult books to boost my collection. :lol:
My ankle is aching after all that walking. Ouch.
I really should start xmas shopping..
Play.com has some great dvd's if your looking for that sort of thing. Loads for a fiver or less and free delivery. :D I'm getting creature comforts for my sister because she loves that sort of thing. :)
My sister and I need to go shopping for the parents though. :rolleyes: I've got my mum a Katie Melua collections cd and thats it. :p
I think im gonna get my mam the new Simply Red greatest hits album, she loves them haha. dunno what im getting everyone else yet :eek:

I've had the cold since Monday, I only had it a couple of weeks ago and it's comeback again. I think I may have caught PB bird flu when she sneezed on shoutbox at the weekend.
Lea your mate will love her pressies as it's the thought that counts not the cost of the gift and you have put a lot of thought and effort into her presents. Chris don't go to too much expense on my Christmas present, I'm easily pleased just Kiefer gift wrapped and a box of fredo bars will do nicely. :lol:
I haven't even thought about what I'm buying anyone yet.Quote:

Is sam the one you slept with abs. or was it whats his face that i cant remember the name of..
Sam is the one who I almost slept with twice over the weekend. I didn't want to be the girl who practically forced herself on him last Sunday (he came on to me when we were in bed). I do have the pleasure of being the only girl he has ever shared a bed with and not had sex with.
Awwwwwwwwww :)
Chris I'll have a crate of Strongbow please :)
Lea I owuld love those gifts!! :D
Been to our Christmas Sixth Form Party otnight... it was shockingly pants!
The repeated the same stupid rubbish music over and overrrrrrrrr :(
I accidentally let out to 3 of my close friend sabout liking this boy that we';re all good friends with. Oops. Haha nevermind. I'm rather drunk.. I'll blame that!
That's SO much stuff! It will be obvious that so much time, effort and thought has gone into that that it couldn't possibly be considered tacky. I love those ideas :)Quote:

Just got to pack now, its a very slow process. Watchign DVD s instead.
I got a bit tipsy last night so a bit worse for wear.
Im exhausted, drama exam went well.
There were some parts that went better in the dress but oh well
AND we had the sugar glass bottle :D It was amazing, when I screamed and smashed the bottle on the floor it went everywhere and was really cool
But now im aching a lot, stupid physical theatre :p
Finally home for the holidays. I got an email earlier saying we don't have to be back until the 12th Jan. I have an exam on the 5th so I either go on the Sunday and come back home on the Monday for the rest of the week or I stay there. Hmm, I don't know what to do yet. I think five weeks at home with my mum will lead to one of us killing each other.
Going to have a shower and an early night. I don't think there's been a night this week when I haven't been to sleep before 4am. Tomorrow I'm going to put the christmas tree up.
I'm sooo tired.
Last night didn't help!
I got in from school and have been watching my brother and sister at my Nans on my own from half 3 until about 6 as my Mum isn't well. Was hard work and my sister wasn't happy tonight.
Going to my friends house tonight with a few friends, we're going to watch Christmas films and order food. Should be fun
Kirsty, I hope you have a lovely time with your friends and that you all enjoy yourselves. :D
We sold most of the cards :eek: There's only about 10 left, there were about 70 when we got back yesterday!
Completely messed up my Economics test. I spent far too long on the lower mark questions and then realised I'd answered one of them using the wrong extract :(
I had a good night in the end, it was a sort of mix of our friends... it was odd but really nice as it was different conversations :)
We went out to get food and then when we got back watched some of our friends show on her dvd and we all jsut talked loads about everything possible lol and then we watched Saw 4, yuck yuck yuck. The film is sick and scary.. but it scares me even more to think about the writers, and how they come up with gruesome things like that lol.
I'm going to do some more Christmas Shopping tomorrow, if I can get myself out of bed.. I'm having a much deserved lie in! Haha :D
Good idea on the lie in , we watched films last night, and had toast as we realised as well me and my mate were the only two in the house and the wind was scaring us too much to even go out bread was the only edible thing in the house! It was fun, We watched Love Actually and the Mischief Night, THe whole series 2 of the Office and an episode of Cracker. it was a nice night though. I don't think id have liked it if i were in the house on my own though, it makes weird noises when there are not six of us in it!
I should be in bed but my dad has already left manchester and my room looks like a bomb has dropped on it! ! ! so i have a bout an hour before he gets here to pick me up.
I don't like Saw its not horror its just gore there is no point to it, the first one was ok but i not seen any after 2, i dont like that sort of thing.
Think I'm coming down with a cold :cries:. Well I am haha.
Coughing - not from smoking.. you can tell :p
Sneezing, aching, stomach feels like it's gonna explode lol, headache and earache :cries:. Hoping it lasts only 1 day :lol: :D. Got some lemsip now.
I'm so bored. Wish I was back at uni. Can't take another week of this level of boredom until my friends come home from uni.
I'm soooo cold! I went into town to pick up some Christmas presents but I couldn't see anything so it was rather pointless :(
Going to my friends house with a few others again later to watch the X Factor final :D
Had a little too much wine last night and a couple of girls on here kept me up on the shoutbox way past my bedtime :lol: Being a good girl though and already packed my suitcase for going away Wednesday morning, only make-up and toiletry bag to chuck in last thing. :thumbsup: OH not due back from business trip until midnight Tuesday night, so last minute pack for him. As long as he remembers my Christmas pressies :lol: Loads of ironing to do now so I have something to wear the next couple of days :D
Aww Perdita you loved it really :D:D
So much for my Nan getting me up "early" this morning.
I didn't wake up until 12:15 and found the hoover in my room lol but there's no-one even in the house, they've all left meee :(
When I get my act together today I'll be cleaning alll of my room from top to bottom so I can get my Christmas tree and decorations up in here. :)
Im soooooo tired
For some strange reason it feels like the hoildays already. Its been such a long weekend, I babysat on friday and then went xmas shopping yesterday and babysat again. The this morning woke up and gave my mum her birthday present then went back to bed
I still havent recovered from thursday night, (drama exam), we were gonna go shopping in manchester today but I was too tired and didnt really think I needed to go, so just my parents have gome. tbh ive bought everything I need to at the moment, other stuff I can get in town, I sorta wish I went now but then again im glad I havent cos I would have ended up spending money on myself, or getting bits of presents that I didnt need to get, im just gonna stick to what ive planned, cos at the end of the day im still trying to save money at the moment, and a few people owe me money so im a bit down at the moment
I've only just got up :( Can't wait to get out of this stupid student sleeping pattern of going to bed at 4am and getting up well after dinner.
Last day of rest today then I'm going to start on lab reports and revision tomorrow. Only three weeks until my exam and I haven't started revising yet. There's not a great deal to do, only seven lectures' worth.
Oh! I forgot to mention we got Sky +
Free :D
We've been recording stuff for the sake of it, but its so cool :D
