I just want you back.
I had a lovely christmas this year. My aunt came over, she's been on her own for a few years now, after my nan died, so my dad invited her to spend christmas with us. In the evening when she had gone home, me, my dad, my mum and my sister sat talking about my nan. About her christmas pudding, and how i would have liked it. I never got to try it, she was always in a wheelchair from when i was little, and then she was confined to her bed. She never got the chance to make it again.
My dad was telling us all these stories about how lovely she was when he was a child. He was closer to his nan than he was to his own parents. Then he told me something that really upset me, it really got to me. My nan lived to be 98 years old. For about 4-5 years she was in her bed. Never leaving her bedroom. We all thought she was going to go a few months after she was told she had to stay in her bed. But she kept on going. My dad told me, that the only reason she kept on living was for me, my little sister and my cousin Ben. It made me so happy to know she did that. She must have been in pain, but she lived for those visits from us. I'd give anything to have just one visit again. I miss her so much and it hurts at christmas when she isn't there, it hurts on boxing day when we don't go over to see her and have another christmas day there. It hurts even going over there with her room still empty.
It upsets me and pains me to know she won't be there so see me pass my GCSE's, or see me get married. She would have been 101 this year. But she never got to see that birthday. And sadly she'll see no more birthdays.
I'll never forget you nanny, the pictures may fade but my memories of you will never go away. ♥

buzz buzz buzz!
So it's Christmas Eve today! One more sleep until the fat man comes! I feel like such a little kid, getting all excited for Christmas. I just love spending time with family and vigourously opening the presents on Christmas morning. I love the smell of Christmas dinner cooking as well, I give myself the target of finishing Christmas dinner, I usually fail, but this year I will succeed!
My aunt is coming round this year, so me and Dad are going to go pick her up tomorrow after we've done the present unwrapping. I can guarantee my Dad will say later "Right. You two (me and Katie) are older now and don't need to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning, so we'll get up about 8 and you can have your presents then." Tomorrow morning will come and at 4am he'll be up with my Mum, wanting to open the presents. At 6am, he'll yell "WAKEY WAKEY IT'S CHRISTMAS!" maan, you've got to love my Dad and his insanity!
I'm seeing my boyfriend today, and we're doing our present switching. He's off to Scotland for the new year so I won't see him until we go back to school probably. That's if he can get up there, the weather is horrendous!
I'm really looking forward to Christmas. A lot of people I know aren't feeling the Christmas buzz, but I am, they're just Scrooges!
Merry Christmas! :)

wooaah, long time no post.
i've been really busy the last few weeks, due to exams and everything. but it's the xmas holidays now so i have NO excuse.
life has got pretty hectic atm, and i'm pretty proud of myself. i recently got an A in my biology test, which was very good for me, B in R.E, and a C in history. I wasn't too pleased with my history mark, but my target grade is a B so i guess i'm working on par with that? i'll get better though as the year progresses.
i've got all my xmas shopping done, and gave out my friends xmas pressies on friday, i had to lug them to school in a big bag, as well as my p.e kit. i might as well have taken my whole house with me!
also found out the other day that this new boy in our group likes me. was surprising, but it was nice.
5 days until xmas! wooopiee! can't wait! my target is to finish my xmas dinner! i managed to complete it last year, and i intend to this year. i hope i feel better though, i barely ate yesterday and i'm only just starting to get my appetite back. i havn't been too well these last few days :( if i stay inside though for the next couple of days i should be ok. i shouldn't have gone out yesterday. it was waaaaay too cold for me, especially when you're ill!
anyway, i'll write soon!
merry christmas!
