    Christmas Nespressos are out! Can't wait to try cloudberry and the almond cake one! I have them, I spent £50 on coffee on the weekend. The packaging is super pretty too!!!

    My friend just invited me out for Christmas jumper night and at the end she was like 'only if you feel up to it, don't push yourself too hard' 

    It's the first time she's said that, and for the first time there's no pressure for me to go out 😊 am gonna go and give it a shot though 👌

    Starting to get things ready for when I go up north to see some friends at the start of January.

    I also picked up some tangles half price in the works thanks to Black Friday they was only £2 !

    With Christmas fast approaching I'm sure a lot of you will be receiving post 😊 please look into charities that collect used stamps! A local charity here does and it's for such a good cause! It just seems a shame thinking of all the used stamps going in the bin when they can be used for good if that makes sense? (Didn't know where to post this so thought I'd try here)

    A lot of post offices will have a bucket on the side which collects them for charities I know mine did when I popped in to buy some stamps today :)

    About to challenge myself by GOING TO THE CINEMA, I despise them as they really bug my anxiety but my nephew really wants to see frozen 2 and he's my main wee man 💪 I can do this!

    Went to the Christmas market last night. It was fun, even if I was completely off my tits on alcohol

    Not to sound out of the loop but why do places collect used stamps? 😊 I’ve never heard of that before.
    @Past User how was the cinema?

    Might get to change class for maths. All thanks to student welfare finally realising how much I am being affected.

    Was having a really rough and emotional day today and I asked a friend if she wanted to go pub.. we turn up and the majority of the staff team are there and it's literally made me feel so warm and loved

    I got my Christmas bonus! Feel kinda guilty though as I've been of the most at work but still got my full bonus cause my mental health absences don't affect my absence rate, when others didn't get their full bonus cause they've been off for 4 days, (if you off more than 3 days in 12 months you lose part of your bonus..)
