Busy Busy

Then when I got home after the meal, I realised I volunteered myself to make Lasagne for alpha tomorrow night so would need to prepare it ready. When I counted though with all guests and helpers I was making lasagne for 30 people! So 3 lasagne's later I managed to sit down with a glass of baileys and watched spooks.

Can I just say I normally really hate winter, but this year it doesn't seem to be bothering me so much. This maybe down to the fact that I have tried to take on board the advise a friend gave me which was to appreciate winter for the things you can do then but you cant do in Summer like curling up in the sofa with a blanket to keep warm with a hot chocolate or a baileys (only tend to drink this in winter, very chrismasy)
But this year I have gone one step further and my and boyfriend have decided to have Christmas day on our own with no family just us two. This may sound a bit odd but I just fancy a change this year. With my parents being separated we have 3 sets of parents to see and I cant be bothered this year to try and fit them all in and worry about who is gonna be upset if we don't see them so we're seeing none of them. Then after dinner my boyfriend suggested that we go for a walk which I thought was a great idea. wrap up warm, scarf, hat and gloves and stroll down the canal. Then come back to a warm cosy house and curl up on sofa watching crap Christmas TV together. How Exciting.
Also I have booked us into a Cottage in the Cotswold's for valentines weekend as a Christmas present to my boyfriend ( he knows about this it isn't a surprise) which again means I have something nice to look forward to during this time of cold.
My boyfriend also suggested that we go Dublin for New Year just the two of us again which sounds fantastic, some of my family are over there but I think I'm gonna miss seeing them this time as they all live in Cork and its double the cost to go to Cork.
