Christmas Presents

Christmas has been and gone, ahhh, a good time was had by all, my parents loved their present of the vouchers, much to my pleasure. Tilly was kind of happy with her bed, she put one foot in it, which to me is acceptance. Not that she has slept in it yet. My sister was happy with the rug for her horse, she went down the stables after Xmas dinner.

The bonus was I managed to cook a full Christmas dinner, turkey and all the trimmings and as my parents arrived and my sister, they could smell the wonderful aromas wafting from the kitchen.

As for my presents, well my parents got me a makeover day, (are they trying to say something) amongst other things, my sister bought me a selection of very expensive lotions and potions. I'm sure they are thinking I need to take care of myself more, but hey, I can understand I'm out in all weathers cycling, running and swimming, so these presents will come in very handy indeed. Although, what do I do with an epilator, it's seems like a posh word for pain.

Christmas Gift Vouchers

Well, I decided to go with the gift voucher idea for my parents, I was spending so much time thinking about what to get them, I was becoming obsessed, not a good thing.

I decided to treat them to a hotel voucher, that way they can choose to stay wherever they want and when they want, aren't I a good daughter. Actually, I'm probably not that good as although I've been obsessing about it, I've taken the easy way out but they should enjoy it, I'll let you know.

Managed to get the perfect dog bed, Tilly is going to be so excited, well I am even if she's not when she see's it's not a treat.
Oh and I've still got to check out the riding equipment for my sister, I'm running out of time really, she might end up with a bunch of Xmas flowers, if I don't get a move on.

Christmas Is Looming

I'm stuck for ideas for present buying this Christmas, not sure what to get my Mum or Dad, or my sister come to think of it, I know I'm getting my dog a new bed, not that she sleeps in the old one.

The thing is, with regards to my parents, what do you get two people who seem to have everything they need, I think I might get some gift vouchers for them, not sure where from though, I'll go surfing the web and see what inspires me.

As for my sister, she is into horse riding, well ever since she found out Katie Price (Jordan) loved riding horses, so maybe something out her very pink range of horse gear.

As for me, there is so many things, I'd love to go away after Xmas and try out something new, like an adventure day or something. Well, I'll keep you updated with my present buying and who knows, I may find the perfect gift for my Father and Mother, but like the saying goes, ‘what do you get the person with everything? A large bag to put it all in'.

Halloween Again

I had great fun, I went with my friend on the London ghost tour, I didn't get to see a ghost, though. Never mind, I can't have everything. Although saying that, a few people said they could sense something, oh and when some women screamed, I nearly jumped out of my skin. Apparently, she felt someone or something touch her on the shoulder, I thought she may have been too highly strung and her nerves got the better of her. Although, I found out it's quite common for people to experience physical feelings.
I never got around to dressing my dog up as a vampire, but to be honest I don't think she realised it was Halloween, she was just happy to have some doggy chocolate drops.

Halloween Thoughts

I love halloween, always have done ever since I was a kid. I'm still trying to work out what to do for this year. Not sure if I should hold a party or go on a ghost hunting tour, my friend went on one and she really enjoyed it, she's going again this year and so I've been invited but I think I'm being a bit of a cowardly custard as I'm worried in case I do see a ghost! My adrenaline will be rushing then, I can tell you.

I'm still looking out for a vampire outfit for my dog, she's a little Jack Russell and she would look great in black cape.

New Beginnings

Posting a first blog post is a nervous precedure, well for me anyway, so I'll just state what I want this blog to be about.

Well as most people know, bloggers like to write, so in the first instance this is the reason for it and the second reason is because, I like to talk about stuff people have bought me or I have bought them. As Christmas is just around the corner and I might, if I'm lucky get inundated with presents I love, the ones I hate might be given to someone for a Birthday, (only kidding, but a thought).

I want to write about days out I have and places I've seen, things I've done, you know the usual diary entries. If I like something loads then I'll post a link so you may have a go at trying it.

I've already worked out what I want to write for my next post, discussing my plans for Halloween, plus how I'm going to dress my dog up as a vampire, should be fun.
