I got my jeans finally on Saturday. I went into the next town along and got the same jeans from the same shop but a different store. I tugged on the buttons and they stayed put. I even got them reduced by five pounds cos the shop was having a sale. The change paid for the car park and a bar of chocolate ;) Ray bought The Day The Earth Stood Still, which was just so boring. The acting was very bad as well. I usually like Keanu Reeves's wooden style but it just didn't work this time, especially not with Jennifer Connelly playing opposite him. They can both only play one style of character and together it just didn't work. And who the hell was that annoying child? It was just a very poor film.

I've decided I want to go home for Christmas. We'd already decided to go back there for the big Christmas Lunch this year. Selfishly, it saves us all money, but really it's cos I just like being at home with my family during the holidays. I asked if we could stay over night Christmas Eve so we could wake up Christmas morning with them and they were so excited by the idea. So we're all trundling up to my parents' house Christmas Eve. We're going to get drunk, eat lots of food and basically chill out and be away from our own house and our own lives and just be guests. Life's always easier as a guest, isn't it? ;)

And yesterday we had our last BBQ of the summer. I doubt this lovely warm weather is going to last much longer so we took advantage. It also served as a belated birthday BBQ for Daddy, whose birthday was Tuesday. And who could not go up on his balloon ride for the third time because the weather conditions weren't right!

FEELING: blah
