This past week and a bit I have been (in no particular order):

• very pleased that Shayne won X-Factor, although I did rather like Journey South as well;

• scared of very large creepy-crawlies and moved to tears by King Kong. That Naomi Watts had it easy in that film - she didn't exactly have too many lines to remember.

• putting up the Christmas decorations - and throwing myself on the floor in a tantrum when I couldn't get the fairy lights looking right and/or untangled;
• back at work in The Pub, where I was told by some drunk regulars that I look just like Rachel Stevens. Can YOU see the resemblance?

• stung on the sole of my foot by a very large wasp while at Tim's house. A wasp! In December! And a massive one! It hurt.
• doing lots of uni work.
• watching lots of Sky TV and making the most of it while I can.

Next week I will be:

• opening presents.
• eating lots of food.
• eating lots of chocolate.
• watching lots of TV.
• working in The Pub.
• drinking alcohol, in lots of pubs (when I get paid for the working).
• crossing my fingers that Tim's sister doesn't have her baby on Christmas Day, as it is already 4 days late.
