I only got 4 hours sleep (tops) because, like every year, my brother (and his girlfriend as well this morning) insists on getting up early for Christmas and waking me up so we can all open gifts together.

Sister killed my macbook six days ago, bought a replacement yesterday (RIP money) with a Retina Pro being the only 15" they make any more.

So far, it's been a disappointment. I miss my old one :'(

I do a fair bit of moaning about xmas, but on the day it's usually a decent enough day. It just feels rather weird today as Mum is staying out at her new blokes house cause there isn't enough room in this house for me, her and my brother*. So it feels weird her not being about since 7 this evening.


*It's a 3 bedroom house, but the landlady uses the third bedroom to store her shite furniture so you literally can't get into the room. Therefore my brother is staying in Mum's room and Mum is staying at her blokes house while he is back in England for xmas.

You told them where to go, right?


Just clocked this. Indeed he was informed that if he interfered with my holiday I would interfere with his life expectancy. Turns out it's all gravy and because me and another guy put in a monumental piece of work at the end of the year he's pushed to get us a bonus!

Someone who I used to like a lot, now I dont like so much, because they've changed. And I'm not really sure how to handle it. I've told them that their attitude pisses me off and they just get really indignant about it and nothing changes. hm.

I want a tablet, but changed my mind to get something fitness orientated. I am wanting a cross trainer in the sales. Tired of being fat.

Car's stuck at the bottom of the estate thanks to 8 inches of snow.

Made it all the way from Weston super-mare though!

I can't believe they closed the airport. It was 4 inches or so at most and that has now virtually gone. Pathetic. :lol:
