Christmas dinner in BillMo hall!

I am feeling rather proud of myself because today I pulled off a 12 person Christmas Dinner with very little help! We had two chickens, two beef joints, roast potatoes, roast sweets potatoes, parsnips, honey glazed carrots, roast onions, yorkshire puds, sausages in bacon and beans! It was so hard to do it with such little space. We had to use three different ovens!
It was such a lovely afternoon though and I really enjoyed it, although the washing up hasnt exactly been fun! We swapped secret santa presents and Sarah had me and she got me some cupcake cases and pink decorations for my baking cupboard! hehe :D
This is the last week of term, how quickly its gone is crazy! This last week will be very busy though as I have two exams and lots of other stuff to do. I shan't be writing over Christmas so I will leave you with some photos of our fab Christmas Dinner!

First day of the advent calender!

Christmas is coming!!!!!!!
I am way to excited about Christmas. Today was the first day of December so I opened my lovely Thorntons Chocolate advent calender and I got a reindeer which was very cute. Ive been feeling very festive and I have decorated the flat with lots of lovely Tinsel and a pretty snowflake window decoration. In my room I have paper chains that I made when Ross visited at the weekend.
I also went to see Dina and Haya and we put up their Christmas tree! They went to the college last year so they have lots of Christmas stuff, and Dina is really into it so she bought them a tree. Isn't it cute!!!






Last weekend Ross came to visit me whilst Mum and Dad were at a Spa in Leicester. It was a really good weekend, on Saturday we went to Nottingham to go shopping and they had a really lovely Christmas market there with little wooden huts selling treats and gifts. There was also fairground rides and a choir. It was really pretty and such a nice day out. Then we chilled and watched a movie in the evening after we'd eaten my (rather tasty if i do say so myself) Chicken Korma. I think he probably has a bit of a squewif idea of uni now to be honest as I tried to treat him well and even bought apple pie! Little does he know that tonight's dinner is a baked potato with sausage casserole defrosted from last week and that pudding will most likely be a yoghurt! Hehe. Ah well you cant live like a queen all the time!!!  
Tomorrow I have a big test for my IT module, its all on Excel which Im ok at so i feel quite confident but i'm sure that my revision will pay off as well and hopefully I can get a good mark. 

Hope you are all enjoying the first day of December. Not long now till the end of term for me! I cant believe how fast its gone!! Best be off now and do some revision whilst my potato cooks! Seeya x
