It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

It's only 19 days until Christmas, what is that about?

I have a week to write my essay and 10 days until I finish university for three whole weeks.

Three weeks without the stress of this house! Then, I get to spend Christmas day with my family before going to my boyfriend's house to spend the night with him. He's the reason I look forward to Christmas, he really is. I get to see all my friends from home and I can't wait, I've missed them all so much. My mum and dad are going away for new year, so I'm going to live at John's for a few days which is going to be so good. I'll do my essay while he's at work, then I'm going to be a proper little housewife and cook for him and keep the house tidy; mainly, so I have something to do when my essay is making me want to throw my laptop at the wall.

I only have a few more presents to buy, which I'm going to get when I go back to Sheffield. It seems pointless buying them here to lump all the way home.

What else? Oh, I spent last night in Manchester with my mum. It was lovely, we spent the day shopping and then we got a little tipsy together and had a McDonald's for tea. Like having a night out with my mum, brilliant.

The only thing that will be missing this Christmas will be my brother and Maria, they're coming home in January for my dad's birthday so they can't come home for Christmas. They didn't last year, but I still miss my big brother.

Until next time, take care.
