the happy little world of miss ktp!

no i've not had a baby, i've got something that i'll love and cherish just as much (if not more! :P) - a new panasonic lumix g1 camera! it's lovely! got it straight after chrimbo and was quite impressed cos i'd managed to save up for it and not spend the money in the process, must be growing up! can't wait to have a proper play with it when i head back to the rents tonight. can't believe the festive spirit has come and gone for another year. it went especially quick for me this year cos i'm working inbetween chrimbo and new year. *groan!* I went home for chrimbo and had a great time. adam came with me on chrimbo eve, stayed overnight and drove back chrimbo morning. It's lovely having that early morning present unwrapping session before everyone else's awake, it's our little time. i did pretty well for presents and was thoroughly spoiled (of course! :P) and so was adam. one gift included a portfolio so there's no excuse now i better get ...

went to our work's christmas doo last night and it was great to sit in a bar with an open fire and lovely christmas tree and then look out of the window to be greeted by big snowflakes falling and settling. on the way home it was all over the radio that the south-east was going to get it really bad and there'd be really deep snow. i went to bed hoping i'd be welcomed by a blanket of snow, though at the same time dreading i'd have to spend another snow day without adam (it was rubbish in feb!). i woke up to LBC and the travel report coming on my radio alarm and it's sounded like chaos trains were messed up, no planes and road were closed or blocked with people having been stuck in their cars for hours. I leapt out of bed to see all this snow that was causing this and..................nothing! a little bit of a frost on the ground but to me it just looked like any other grey & dull winters morning! rubbish! did look a bit like bambi walking on the ice this mor...

the worst place to get an itch is on the base of your foot - you scratch it it tickles, you leave it and it drives you crazy! what to do?! xxx

Getting really excited for the festive season now! Tho I am still waiting on one flipping present! Better arrive from a certain website soon or I won’t be impressed! I’ve spent most of my time at parties or out which I know doesn’t really make much of a change but it’s nice to have a valid reason to party and stay up past my bedtime once a year! Went to see Les Mis again yesterday with the India girlies plus one which was lovely. Emhen and I blubbed our way through the ending but apart from that all went well! It’s so nice to have them around me in London now, seems like such a long time ago when I felt lonely in such a big & busy city. London’s magical at the moment with all the lights and decorations up. They’ve even converted Eros at Picadilly Circus into a giant snowglobe which is pretty cool! Had a lovely couple of days away with Adam up north for his birthday, it’s always nice to get out and about, just the two of us and stop off whenever and wherever we want and explor...

Feeling weird today, bit on edge. No idea why - it’s December, my Chrimbo shopping’s done, cards posted, I’m going to see the rents over Christmas and New Year and get to see Adam on Chrimbo Eve & Chrimbo Day but I’m still not happy! There’s no pleasing some people. I’ve got that sense of dread in the bottom of my stomach, it’s bad enough when you know what it’s for, but when you don’t know it’s even worse! Makes you wonder what’s round the corner that my body’s worrying about but my brain doesn’t know yet! Wow that was a Karl Pilkington quote if I ever heard one! :S Oh and in case anyone was wondering about my post the other day 2 of Santa’s little elves came to my rescue! And very grateful I was too! Phew! xxx

Thought I was doing really well this year with my Christmas planning, started buy the presents in june & writing cards and getting my party frock in November, but there’s always something that just creeps up and catches you unaware. Grr! There are one or 2 presents that are turning out to be more than a little bit tricky and it’s all cos I tried to be good and plan my money spending habits! If I’d just brought the flipping things when I saw them then I’d be fine, but no, I waited and tried to be good and where did that get me?! Not impressed! Anyways start of the festive things tonight – hopefully going to the recording of the Top Of The Pops Christmas Special so I’m sure that’ll get me out of this bah humbug attitude and back into the sparkly magic that is Christmas! At least I hope so or I’ll be the grumpy one standing with my arms folded and looking mardy when it’s broadcast on tv over the festive period! xxx
