Day 9, 29 days until you return, 16 days until Christmas
Hello my love, I have little to write today as I spoke to you earlier. It was great to speak to you, I've missed your near foreign accent. I'm mighty pleased to hear you're having such fun, but feel that I am missing out greatly!
My advent calender said tis the season to be jolly it is indeed, I feel slightly jolly, especially having taken the people I'm supporting to their Christmas party, it was lovely to see them having so much fun. I feel you would've greatly enjoyed it. There was karaoke, it reminded me of the time we for some reason sang girls aloud, and it ended up in floods of tears and me leaving the building. bah!
love xx
A beautiful day to day account of life in England, to ensure Helen doesnt miss anything important...

Day 8, 30 days until you return, 17 days until Christmas
I've not really got anything to tell you today, I got back to mine this morning to find Granny worrying about the lateness of the washing machine man, He turned up eventually but was useless, I have a bright shiney new washing machine, but it's not connected, just filling up my kitchen!
I went to dance and gym with work. It was tiring!
I was going to go to Zumba this evening but Natasha couldn't make it and I decided not to make a complete fool of myself alone! I instead made a terribly disappointing dinner of possibly the worst potatoes ever created and sausages that were a disgrace to pigs of the world.
My advent calender asked me are you dreaming of a white Christmas. I dream of a lot of things, sometimes I remember my dreams, sometimes I don't, sometimes I make dreams when I'm fully awake and thinking sensibly about my life and my future, things I want to do, or see or be, sometimes I dream of things that are highly unlikely to come true but I like to think about them anyway. I like dreams that sometimes don't make sense but make me think about the different parts of it, like the people that I dreamt of, or the places I saw when I was sleeping, I sometimes can't work out how they got into my dreams, and however hard I've tried, I've never been able to put people into my dreams when I wanted to.
Anyway, back to the question, I think I would like a white Christmas, I've never had one before and I suppose it would be pretty. Snow seems to have caused nothing but problems recently though so maybe just a little bit!
I hope your adventures have been fun filled and wonderful today

Day 7, 31 days until you return, 18 days until Christmas
I miss you lots now, I'm still tempted catch a plane and just run away from everything here, we could open sweethearts near the beach and live there forever? What would you miss most about England if you moved abroad? I don't think I'd miss anything, just people, but they can catch planes!
Anyway, My advent calender told me to wish upon a star tonight I'm not sure what I want to wish for right now, maybe I'll save the wish for another does, does that work, can you carry them over, like a bar tab, can they add up till you need lots of wishes at once?
I went trampolining at work today, that was fun, and then we got Christmas minty hot chocolates, you would love them!
I had a nice walk along the canal as well, it was all icy and beautiful!

After work I went to the gym for a little while and then to Adams. We cooked the best bolognaise in the world, it had marmite in it. Adam made garlic bread too.

We also watched Elf, possibly the best Christmas film in the world!
I need to ring you soon

Day 6, 32 Days until you return, 19 days until Christmas
Hello, Monday mornings come so quick. I enjoy Mondays, the start of a new week, anything can happen after a Monday, It's like a garden gate, or a door, they don't look particularly fantastic but there could be anything behind it, so it's worth opening.
On the note of doors, and opening, My advent calender told me the knock knock joke about Mary Christmas. I was unimpressed, but the chocolate tasted nice!
My Monday began in Costa with Adam, I had Christmas coffee and we had a chat, it was nice, but I'm sure it definitely doesn't compare to the cheesecake factory! You must take me there one day. Also, Santa on a Harley sounds amazing, I hope you're taking lots of pictures!
I went to the open farm for my first session at work. It was so cold, and we were just about the only people around. I took some photos for you.

These piglets were a couple of weeks old.

The Christmas display had real life rabbits, they made me remember Penny-Marie.

Even the spider webs had frozen.
Nothing great happened at work.
There's nothing exciting going on in England at the moment, snow is still a problem up North and in Scotland but it's all melted around here, it's still very cold though. The canal has been frozen for over a week, I'm hoping I can skate on it soon!
There's been lots of Shark attacks in Sharm el Sheik, in Egypt, please be careful when you swim in the Sea, just in case.
I got your message this morning, I don't remember trying to ring you, and I was asleep when you called. Either I was lying on my phone or I was attempting to sleep ring you. Either way, I miss you very much and need to speak to you soon!
Keep an eye out for sharks xx

Day 5, 33 days till you return, 20 days till Christmas
Hello sunshine, I hope you're over the jet lag now and full of energy for the week ahead. I woke up with no energy whatsoever, in a state of drunkenness and despair. I had to go and collect my car and things from Clares, and go to the hotel where we had the dance last night to get my coat.
I really haven't done much today, I watched Mum sort through her boxes and boxes of Christmas decorations, she as getting overexcited and it certainly wasn't healing my tired and hungover state, the rest of the day I spent lazing about and napping. A terrible terrible waste but I was barely able to do anything else. I watched Ben Fogle for a while, he picked up my spirits for a brief moment.

Auntie Di adds the lights.

England are doing well in the Ashes
Stacey won I'm a celeb
My advent calender today asked Have you been good this year? I feel, in the grand scheme of things, I have been good this year. I haven't done too many bad deeds, and have certainly done quite a few good ones. I can definitely name years that I have been less good in, and am relatively proud of most of what I have done this year, so YES advent calender, I have been good.
Blimey, Matt Baker lives in County Durham!
Give nick a hug from me
Good night little bear xx
Day 4, 34 days till you return, 21 days till Christmas
So, I've heard from you, and from what you say, you're having a fabulous time, I feel I am greatly missing out and would love to be there! I love the fact you've done so much already, and the hitching with the rastas sounds mighty, please remember to be careful though.
My advent calendar said a little treat for you it was a nice little treat, I had a chocolate tree today!
Anyway, It's Saturday, the snow has nearly all gone but the temperatures are still abnormally cold. I started the day meeting Adam for coffee, his car got nicked and crashed last night which isn't particularly great, we had a chat and a coffee and then I continued with my day! I went to the farm to do my washing whilst Mam an Dor got their usual Saturday morning garden centre fix. Mums yet to decorate the house in her usual festive overload but we took the first steps by going to collect tree, a simple task you may think, but no, because of course they both want the same tree and all the trees are different so as usual, a simple task was greatly complicated. We did however choose a splendid tree, I'm hoping it will be up and decorated soon!
I had lunch at Mams, a draining task, Dad and Matt were taking each others temperature with a cow thermometer, the twins were talking nonsense and Rob, in a severely hungover state was dipping wotsits into coffee and flinging them around the room, possibly with the intention of making Mum yelp, it was working!
I then had to go and sort myself out for the evenings festivities, I got my nails manicured by some rather grumpy Asians who spoke little English, this was proving to be a problem for the middle aged lady next to me who was trying to explain she was in pain, the language barrier stopped anything from happening and the lad continued to grind away at her nails. Mine however turned out nice, though as usual, were chipped by the time I went out!
I went to Clares to get ready, we drank some pimms before heading out on our hired minibus, which turned out to be an age concern van, luckily it didn't have its suspected aroma of lavender and wee and we made it in one piece to the hotel for the Newport Young Farmers dinner and dance. We drank several jagerbombs ad wines and danced a bit, Rob was there in his posh boy suit.
The dance finished at midnight, some of the lads from Bucks young farmers said they were going out in MK and asked if I wanted to go with them, it didn't take much persuading and I soon found myself on a minibus, filled with some strange Reggae Christmas music, with 7 blokes dressed in dinner suits. We ended up at Oceana, enjoyed a bit of Peter Andre, Take That, etc etc. It was immense, I was suitably drunk and the others were a state!
I've decided it would be good to get a taxi home to mine, but on arrival, realised I had no keys. I staggered around the garden, found the spare keys, and relieved my poor poor feet of the heels I couldn't walk in in the first place!
I hope your adventures are continuing greatly.

Day 3, 35 days till you return, 22 days till Christmas.
Well, It's Friday, my third favourite day of the week, the first being Saturday, the second Sunday. I like the fact that whatever goes wrong on a Friday, there's a whole 2 days full of time to attempt to sort it, forget about it, or find something else to do. You probably don't appreciate this, I didn't until I worked, like Dolly Parton once said, 9-5.
The snow has began to melt, it's turned from pure white, to sludgy grey, it looks messy and is beginning to uncover bits of England that looked better covered up! This however is only true for around Milton Keynes, the rest of England is still covered up, and being covered further, airports are beginning to open again but I think the majority of Britain are fed up, and want our usual damp days back.
My advent calender chocolate had a star on today, the message on the door said keep warm and toasty toasty today good advice I feel. Is the weather nice in Hawaii today?
Anyway, as much as I like Fridays, it does still involve work, I started off my day in a cold jacuzzi with a screaming lady and a couple of fat men. It was unenjoyable but over quick. My other session was horse riding, I sat until my toes went blue and my hands ached, in a barn, whilst the horse trudged around in a miserable and desperate manner. Fridays work came and went.
I went to the city centre after work, I called into my flat on the way past and cranked up the heating as Granny's out for the weekend. I felt slightly shady, like a bugler robbing a shop, or an older child stealing sweets of it's younger sibling, still, what Granny doesn't know doesn't hurt her, and it was so very very cold.
I got my eyebrows threaded for tomorrow, the pain was immense and I wondered why I was putting myself through it, however once done they looked good, so my legs may still be the worse in the world, but at least my eyebrows wont let me down!
What happened next was unexpected and wonderful. I was loitering in House of Fraser, looking at the make up on Benefit the woman who worked there offered me some cooling cream for my eyebrows, I obliged, it helped a lot. Then just as I turned around to leave, she grabbed my arm in an excited frenzy. Stacey from Gavin and Stacey was stood next to us. We both grinned at her, she looked at us like we were mental and walked off. I feel I should've made a hilarious comment, but like the time when I told the RAC man my Dad owned the AA, it wouldn't have been funny without an audience!
I made a bread and butter pudding this evening, I'm upset you're not here to share it. I've decided I do want to get married when I'm older, but only to someone who appreciates my fabulous baking skills, that way I can bake lots and they would be happy. Hows Hawaiian food, have you eaten anything exciting yet?
Jungle update; Jenny ate a bum, Stacey ate a kangaroo vagina and Shaun ate some balls. Stacey won a pie by building a cabinet, Shaun got angry and burnt his.
Elsewhere, Merily and Lempit have been pictured buying an engagement ring in Tiffany. Merilys been photographed in possibly the smallest bikini in the world.

Jenny left the jungle, Stacey and Shaun are in the final!
That's about it for today, I'm going to have a bath and dye my hair a dark brown for the dinner and dance tomorrow.
Have fun, love you x
