We had a quiet yet eventful festive period. We spent Christmas with Tony's family again, just like last year, which was all nice despite the usual sibling rivallry over a game of Yatzee. Honestly, they need their heads banging together!
Just before Christmas, it was decided that I would be moving into Tony's house. For this to happen, one of his current housemates would be evicted. This being the troublesome housemate who is a complete pain in the backside! He almost always has his friends over, which is ok for some of the time, except the fact they often stay the night in the lounge and are still there in the morning even though the housemate has gone out to work! Cheeky sod! He has had several warnings before about smoking in the house (another major fault of his). To my great surprise, when Tony told said housemate things weren't working out and that his mum wanted him to move out, he appeared shocked! Even now, 3 weeks later, he is still shocked!!! What a dimwit!
Anywho, he has until the 31st of January to move out and I have until the 23rd February to air the room out and move in. I nipped into his room on New Years Eve (I knew he was out for the night) as I hadn't actually looked at the room before deciding I would move in. I opened the door and immediatly walked back out. It stank of cigarettes. I have never smelt anything so bad! I hang around with smokers and their houses don't smell that bad!
So that was the big event.
My main Christmas present from Tony was a beautiful white gold locket with a diamond on the front. When he gave me the present alot went through my over imaginative mind. I took the paper off to reveal an Ernest Jones bag (other jewellers are available!), I gulped but thought "it's a big bag, it's fine", I then opened the bag to find a small box. Gulp. I slid the sleeve off of the box to reveal a smaller box. GULP. I suddenly found myself thinking "Oh my God, is he proposing? Am I ready for this (again)? How can I say no in front of his entire family?!" I then opened the box to find the locket and alot of relief! Maybe next year and I will be ready!
On New Years Eve, we just stayed in with some movies and a bottle of champagne and made the night our own. It was nice, just a shame we were in Tony's grubby house. That will change when I move in!
Things to be done in 2010:
- Move into Tony's house
- Redecorate (touch up) our house :-)
- Go to Malaysia to see one of my best friends who I haven't seen for 7 years
- Go indoor skydiving
And one more thing... I have recentely taken up knitting, I am an old 23 year old, what can I say. I had been making a scarf, start simple I thought. I then got bored of making said scarf and was rapidly running out of wool so decided to turn it into a knitting bag (I really do feel old). As I was sowing it up I realized it would make a great hat, yeah, I 'm not really a hat person. I continued transforming it into a bag and I have finally finished making something for a change! I can't remember the last time I finished making something! I feel so proud!
Have a good 2010 all.
