Christmas presents!

Aha, I hope I do too! What have you been doing since completing your degree?

Not a lot tbh. I was on the wagon looking for a new job until I came down very poorly, with a suspected virus I caught whilst in the States during the summer. So I've been battling that for 7wks, more or less become house bound because I'm too tired to do anything. So hopefully in the new year I'll start to get better and can continue the job search.

Always comes in handy, eh?

Blackberry, Kindle, vouchers and chocolates. I'm happy.

So you're saying that if you didn't get any of those things, or things which weren't as good, you wouldn't be happy?

If I said to you, "My dog is brown. I like sprouts."

Would you have replied, "So if you had a black dog you'd hate sprouts"? I really hope not.

Oh yeah, because that's really similar to what I am saying...
I am just wondering if he would be happy if he didn't get them...
Calm down

I was joking. Calm down

Anyways, I got...
some books
a new jumper and some jeans
chocolate
perfume
looooads of stuff from Lush
socks
an umbrella and scarves and gloves and a hat
recipe book

I don't know how to make the picture smaller, woops.
My boyfriend got me the Stephen Fry books and his parents got me the Molton Brown gift set (my boyfriend's dad has a big job in the company so it was inevitable really). My brother got me the little owl candle and the gnome mug and the rest are from my parents. I also got some slippers that I forgot to add to the pile

Newburn's book for Christmas? I'm actually jealous!

Haha, is it that good? It was on my recommended reading list for Criminology next year, so I thought it'd make for good reading

I used it when I did law and criminology last year, and I used it this year when I did a module of criminology for. It's the only one that I really couldn't do without - it's all really plainly written, and excellently explained. It's the one I went straight for when I'd changed courses this year and found out I was doing crim again!

Oh, why did you change courses? I'm really excited about reading through these Criminology books. I'm currently doing Journalism and there's going to be so much to learn for next year!

Oh I'm sorry to hear about that, it must be crap! Just take this time as a long deserved break from everything
