Tis the season...

Well lots of people would say its not yet the season for anything, but I am feeling decidedly as if Christmas will be here any day! This is, of course, no thanks to eBay who have a countdown to Christmas Day on their homepage.
Argos also have all of our Christmas decorations up and literal hordes of people buying literal hordes of presents for kids every single day.

Plus there's been the added pressure of the annual Christmas meet-up with Tom and Sarah which means that I have to really think about what to buy them! The current situation is one down and one to go - but I'm not saying which one, cos that would be telling!!

I've also heard tell that the Coca Cola advert is on TV - I haven't seen it yet - when I see it, it'll definately be Christmas, that's for sure. I sure do love seeing that ad, it never fails to get me in the Christmas spirit!

As for the 'rents, that shopping is also well under way, which is indeed very good - cos in previous years I haven't had the faintest idea what to buy them, but this year I do, so that's great too.

I'm also looking forward to 2011 - it should be a very good year and I'm anticipating lots of great and nice and memorable things happening. I hope 2011 will be the year that I move onwards and upwards with my life and career - with any hope I won't be the only one either!! I've had the whole of 2010 to - not vegetate - but to be at home, work at Argos, go back and forth to see friends and to be free to see and do and experience things and just be chilled out.
Now I need to go and be proactive and get a nice (hopefully well-paid) job, to be able to fund all of th crazy adventures that I want to get up to in my crazy life! I really like the idea of being financially independant one day and having a good and stable job is the key to that.
Now, being a History graduate, doesn't exactly lead to a career (in most people's minds) except teaching, so I've kind of been a bit at sea and not really - if I'm perfectly honest - applied for any jobs this year. This week, I'm appying for two. I'm also considering a mission trip for next summer.

However, that's all for next year. Right now we are 38 days away from Christmas, celebrating Jesus' birth in the most un-Christlike manner possible. So I need to nail my shopping - selected gifts and also a great many cards to get - and make a move on gettin ghte house tidy so we can have some semblence of decorations up...

Also it'll be my birthday and I'll be 23. I think its quite grown-up to be 23, what do you reckon?
Enough of my ranting and postulating on the subject of Christmas, the nights are drawing in and the days are getting much colder. Today we had to have the back door open all day because we have workmen here to do the guttering and they needed to plug their tools in - it will be great when their done, cos the guttering won't leak outside my bedroom window all night when it rains - but right now it must be colder inside than out!!

See's you soon peeps!
