On Friday the 27th Lee and I left my mum's house and went to Leeds to see our friends Leanne and Adi and their baby. She is extremely suspicious of us, but did start to come round. We bought her a book which she liked. We had a nice afternoon with them. Afterwards we went home and both chilled out for a while, which was nice! A bit of quiet in all the madness.
On Saturday my aunt, uncle, and one of my cousins were in Wakefield, so we all congregated at my mum's house. She made bacon and sausage sandwiches for brunch, and let me tell you I almost wavered on the bacon. Lee doesn't eat red meat and now eats very little meat at all, but if he did, I think I wouldn't have managed being vegetarian for a whole year! Lee and I had veggie sausage and fried eggs instead.
We had a buffet in the evening and we played games which was fun - my 93 year old grandma read out the questions which is nice because it means she was included too.
On Sunday we all went to my grandma's. My other cousin and hsi wife arrived at ours before lunch as they were staying with us for a couple of nights, and we started watching The Last Jedi because they hadn't seen it and we were going to see The Rise of Skywalker the next day. We went to my grandma's around 2pm and again just chilled out together.
Neil had asked us the previous evening what each of us wanted to eat, as he was going to buy some bits and make a picky tea. I went for potatoes dauphinois and they were absolutely beautiful - stodgy and creamy and full of garlic. The entire table did look like a total hodge podge of food though, none of it made sense all together! But it was still delicious and that's the main thing.
On Monday me, Lee, Rob and Beth finished watching The Last Jedi and then headed to Huddersfield to see the new film. We had the Pizza Hut buffet for lunch which was great, I do love Pizza Hut pizza. THEN we saw The Rise of Skywalker. I.... didn't love it. I didn't think it fitted well after The Last Jedi, and I didn't like the ending. I didn't like how Poe and Finn were majorly sidelined, either. Or Rose! I love Rose! I know it had to change because Carrie Fisher died, but damn. I am angry about it.
Tuesday was New Year's Eve! Rob and Beth went to the supermarket with us and then we tidied up the house and chilled out until Bettie and Jen and Lou and Si arrived for the evening. It was really lovely to spend New Year's with all those people. We laughed a lot and had good food and strong drinks and didn't go to bed until past 2.30am. I was definitely hung over on New Year's Day.
And now it's 2020! We are living in the future, people.
Leanne and April and her new book
Last year I didn't get any Snow Fairy and complained about it, so this year both my mother and my mother in law made sure I'm well stocked up for this year! I'm not sure when I'll use the bath bombs, but hopefully soon
My face on the Saturday. The lipstick is Models Own and I love the colour of it. Also, I'm not sure what happened to the colour of my eyes, but I haven't edited this photo at all. They seem to have turned more blue recently, and maybe the make up emphasised that

The hodge podge meal. Peter wanted quiche. It was extremely nice
Star Wars!
A panorama of my living room on New Year's Eve. I think everyone was doing my quiz at this point
Lee took this of me. My cousin Rob had been sitting on that chair, I swear. It was Lee's Christmas present from my mum
Bettie made me some very strong cocktails and I did very much enjoy them
