How Was Your Day? High Five

[Perdita]

If you were an 18 year old girl.. would you rather someone use a voucher to buy you a christmas present or hand make something yourself ? I feel tacky either way At my wits end here!!!!

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

Tannie, I've been in your situation and it's really not nice I know, but there's not alot you really can do. Me and my friend used to argue and argue about it, and it would get us somewhere for a few days/weeks and then it would go back to the normal, it was the same cycle over and over again.. and that put more strain on our friendship than us not spending much time together on the first place. 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

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 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 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

We decided to have something to eat so I made poached eggs on toast, except I haven't ever poached eggs 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 Then we watched the DVD, I got scared, screamed a few times and kept jumping. We were watching Prince Caspian It's a PG! Sam kept laughing at me then he said something really random.

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! 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.

Well the voucher was for woolies and apparantly they're not taking them now :cries:. Hand made gift it is lol!

[Kim]

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.

[CrazyLea]

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 .
- A snake
- A book of her favourite things (pictures) << all glittery and stuff

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.
