Wow, HOW fast did Christmas go by this
year?! Serious case of 'blink and you'll miss it'! I have had a busy week...... :)
20th
December
My Christmas began with my monthly infusion (which although sounding weird, I
do see as a good thing- I've been relapse free for 16 months now!). I then
nipped into Spitalfields for a browse at the Christmas Market and get some much
needed protein packed brunch at Canteen...
After heading home for a little rest, we
got ourselves ready to go and dance our socks off to Calvin Harris & Tiesto
at Earls Court with good friends. Now, I am not exactly a house music follower
but I always wanted to see Tiesto do ‘Adagio for Strings’ live- and now I can
tick it off my list. Calvin Harris was my favourite set but I was most
impressed by the light show that was put on! Seriously, they were amazing!!
22nd
December
We journeyed to Surrey for a meal with all
of our good friends from back home.
Prosecco flowed, Conversation flowed and a Gammon roast was served. We then followed the meal with:
Prosecco flowed, Conversation flowed and a Gammon roast was served. We then followed the meal with:
- A Quiz on 2013
- Mastermind
style round of questions- I was so nervous which wasn’t helped by a Spotlight
and the classic music. My Subject of choice: Sex and The City.
- A
round of 'Who am I' - which wasn't so easy with 15 people but very funny! For
those of you who aren't familiar with 'Who am I'- You write a famous person
name down on a sticky note then put it on someone’s else’s forehead. Once every
person at the table has a sticky note attached to them, everyone take’s it in
turns to ask people questions to guess who they are- but only yes/no answers
can be given. If you get a ‘no’ then the next person gets a go.
A Christmas gathering would not be the
same without Secret Santa- I was very happy to receive a loose leaf tea
strainer as I’ve always wanted one plus I LOVE tea.
23rd December
My final day of being 23 EVER! To give The
Boy some time to do some wrapping, I popped across to H&M in Oxford Circus
to purchase myself a top for my birthday. I opted for an electric blue check
shirt. I then went to Topshop to have a mooch (leaving the Boy at home meant I
could browse at my leisure and not be nagged at).
24th
December (MY
BIRTHDAAAAAAAAAAAY!)
Yes, finally - my 24th Birthday was here! On
waking up, I was greeted by some fabulous gifts....

I would love to regale you with stories of my evening but after more
than one large glass of Merlot… well, I can’t really remember. But I had a
lovely time.
25th December
Christmas Day was a crazy day filled with more presents than I
could believe, starting off with stocking opening and finishing with more
present opening in the evening :).
26th December
A fabulous, yet freezing, day was spent with The Boy and his
family at The Kempton Park Races. I do love a little flutter- and having never been
to see the King George VI chase, I couldn’t wait to try win! I picked two winners
during the day- little wins but wins none-the-less and spent the evening (post
Sausage & mash dinner) nibbling on Brie by an open fire- Lovely!
Phew! I was so spoilt!
I’m now off to celebrate my Mum’s birthday by seeing The
Commitments stage show at The Palace theatre in Soho.
Did you all have a lovely Christmas? I hope so :)
Lots of Love
