Day 12, 26 days until you return, 13 days until Christmas

Thanks for your update, The swimming with fish sounds like my idea of absolute hell, and the thought of you in a war museum totally intrigues me. The bus however, sounds brilliant and I wish we had such transport around here! I'm glad you are still having fun and not wanting to come home yet!

Alcohol does terrible things. I am in pain!
So last night was immense, it began a civilised dinner, we had Christmas dinner, turkey and all, drinks were flowing, and then it began to spiral out of control. Party poppers began to be emptied and refilled with chutney, soup and cream, and fired around the room, often landing in peoples drinks, and in my case hair. Pate and potatoes got stuck to walls. It was a mess, I was laughing so much I actually couldn't eat.
Dinner over with, we moved into the bar, where we drank, and drank and drank. I must have had about 6 jagerbombs, as well as wine and anything else going around. I can't recall much of the rest of the evening.
I got home at about 11.30. (oh dear) I was what can only be described as a mess. But alas, I took myself to Asda, where at one point I stood, still, as the shop span around in circles and the people blurred, I gathered myself and managed to get to Mams in time for dinner, I was not in the frame of mind to be eating but managed to make polite conversation with the collection of elderly relatives that had come for lunch.
Then, in an almost perfect reinactment of last Saturday, I did the most I could do with myself, and fell asleep!

Matt Baker is still in strictly, but Scott and Gavin got voted out!
It's the X factor final. Take that opened the show, take that, with Robbie, they are going to be so fantastic when we go and see them, I can not wait.
The final was between Matt and Rebecca
MATT WON

My advent calendar says Rudolph is excited for Christmas, it's less than 2 weeks I so far have nothing Christmassy in my flat, much to Mams dismay.

love you xx
