So, I woke up at 6am yesterday, but decided that was just too much, so I slept til 7am. I went and opened the presents that friends had given me then I went on the net, I actually came onto stonesoup but my brain was fried so no entry.
I managed to convince Lee to get up and we were out of the house circa 8.20 to drive up the coast to my parent's place.
My sister is staying with them while her boyfriend is away and she has a new kitten. So I had happy christmas of the cute kitten. Tiny grey and mega-playful. I got lots of photos of people as well as the kitten, since Dad's camera had no battery I was official "Family scrapbook photographer". I got some cool presents: A gollum action figure that climbs a wall that he comes with, some scrapbook paper, lots of chocolate, long stripey pink socks. It was a bit of a cheap christmas with my family as my sister is saving for a house and Mum and Dad aren't exactly rich. The presents I bought all went down well, so that's lovely.
Ate turkey. I love turkey. Dessert was merengues, chocolate mousse and strawberries. Yum.
2.30 we headed back into town to Lee's family. By this time of the day the sun was beating down and I got so hot in the car I had to change clothes before we went over. Since I had already got a *sewing machine* from Lee's mum I wasn't expecting to get anything else, but she gave me some cute little things and accessories to the sewing machine.
Lee's sister gave us Lord of the Rings Risk, which I am uncertain about, having never played Risk. The set is very beautiful though, it comes with a one ring and lots of little orcses and elvses.
Then we ate turkey and crayfish. I love turkey and crayfish. Dessert was chocolate cake, raspberries and chocolate sauce. Yum.
Now waiting for Lee to get up so we can go shopping at the boxing day sales. Lee got a heap of whicoulls vouchers he wants to spend. I want to get an exercise ball, and new underwear. I haven't had any new underwear for ages.
Still a bit sick, but I took a box of aloe vera tissues with me wherever I went and made sure I had enough to drink. No problem!
