It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas...

Hello Everyone! 

Today is the last day at work for me before the Christmas holidays. I should be really excited, but instead, I'm trying to squeeze all my packing in between my two shifts at work. 

Tonight; I'm driving down South to stay overnight at my parents'. 

Tomorrow, we're going on holiday!! Woohoo!! 

A part of me is going to miss the traditional Christmas, but another part of me is SOOOOO excited to be going away. We're staying in the Netherlands, and on Christmas Day, we're going to one of my favourite places in the world.... 

Efteling!!!! 

Hopefully I'll be able to blog whilst I'm away. (I've checked with my parents to make sure there's internet!!) Mama Ginger's given me a list of things I need to pack (yes, even though I'm nearly 26), and I'm in the middle of trying to decide if I really need to take 4 dresses with me for a week (it's good to have choice, right?) 

These past few weeks have been so crazy, that I'm really looking forward to 2 weeks off work to unwind. Although, there won't be a single day in those 2 weeks where I'm not doing something. I've got a full itinerary. It's very rare that I'm down with my parents for anything more than a weekend, so I'm squeezing in a tonne of visits to see my friends, to go shopping in Oxford Street, and catch up with Southern Life in general....I can see there being lots of mulled wine and mince pie consumption!! 

Yum Yum!! 

And then, when I get back, Spotto is taking me away for a surprise birthday weekend, so my head will keep spinning until at least 6th January!! I'm usually really bad at surprises, but I'm really looking forward to doing something I haven't planned for my birthday! 

It's such a crazy life!!

Bleurgh!!!

I am SO tired this morning. I did not sleep well last night at all! I was hot, I was cold, I was hungry, I had some seriously weird dreams, I needed a wee (Oops. TMI?!) I just could not get comfortable and from about 3am-4.15am, I was just awake. It was awful. I used to suffer from really bad insomnia, so when I can't sleep, I get really stressed out, which means I can't sleep, which means I stress out....It's a viscious circle!

Bleurgh!

Anyway, I suppose it's a good thing I'm up bright eyed (if not so bushy tailed), because today, after work, I'm going to Londinium for the weekend! Hoorah!!

As usual, my trip is going to be jam packed!

I am going shopping tomorrow! I'm so excited to go back to Oxford Street, especially Forever 21. There isn't one close to me, and I am in love with their jewellery. Looking round their jewellery department is like walking into an Aladdin's cave. I love it! Amazing!!

I never know what to pack on my trips down to London, especially when I'm so busy. I need to be comfortable when I go to London, but whenever I am there, I feel the need to dress up a bit. Particularly on Oxford Street. You CANNOT be frumpy on Oxford Street...It is so stressful!

Although I am awful at packing light with my clothes, I am quite good with my make up. I have quite a simple daily skin care/ make up routine at the moment, so the products I need don't take up too much space....does this mean I'm allowed to pack more clothes?! Hmmmm.....

I'm not sure how much I will be able to post over the weekend. But I'm going to try; my camera is charging as I type, and I have already snapped some photos for upcoming posts. It just depends how much time I have. Apart from going shopping tomorrow, I'm out for tea in the evening, and then on Sunday, I'm getting a tent-putting-up masterclass in preparation for Canada. (I have never put up a tent in my life...this should be interesting!)

I'm off to make a coffee...

Or five!

Happy Friday Everybody!
