My picks from Tumblr #6

Getting a little excited about Christmas now! About time really, it being December 23rd & all...

Liiiiiinks?

Two months well spent

Yesterday I went to see the tallest tree ever made out of toy bricks!

It's the Lego Christmas tree at Kings Cross St. Pancras - two months in construction and made from 600,000 bricks!

Even the baubles are lego...

There were so many people swarming around having a look & taking pictures, but I don't blame them - it really is impressive in 'real life'! 

MILF in the making ;)

I can't believe I haven't blogged about this yet, but one of my bestest friends Helen is expecting her first Bubba soon!

She's due in Feb, so is looking a little more bump-y right now - all very exciting :)
At first it did seem a little surreal that one of my friends was going to have a little person (we're not grownups yet, surely!), but now it's just plain exciting!
Something else to look forward to will be in a few years, when I can proudly show the little one beautiful pictures of her Mummy getting waaaasted** :) teehee. 
This has also recently meant fun times in shops I wouldn't usually go into/avoid...baby item shops!

Everything's just so small & soft, it's hard not to want to buy everything in sight! In the end though, I managed to narrow the gift-buying down to this;

so soft & tiny! Aww. Almost worth having one...almost :)


I think if I could just spend silly amounts of money & borrow someone else's baby for dressing up, the company for the job would probably be The White Company. I would love to post some pictures of the bits they have online, but they're all GIF images...so go check out the website! 
Actually, having a browse around the 'adult' part, there are quite a few things that would make lovely Christmas presents.
I especially like the "Home > At Home > Home Accessories > Small Solid Clear-Glass Tealight Holders". (Hint, hint).

*Also, a handy tip shared by both The Mother & The Grandmother; when you've got morning sickness, eat ginger biscuits & drink ginger beer! 

Speaking of Christmas, it's that time of year again - the annual Christmas shopping routine of mild panic (don't know what to get/who to get for/how much to spend), followed by an almost euphoric (interesting definition, no?) feeling when you find something that's just right. Then a general feeling of smugness, provided this has all occurred before Dec 23rd. 
Oh, I bloody love Christmas!

Ps. **

She's gonna be one hell of a Yummy Mummy ♥

Lazy

A slightly lazy post tonight, because I haven't uploaded any pictures from my Devon trip just yet, & also realised that I haven't done a picture (or three) of the day about HW! (Or Helen, sure).

(Helen & I dressed up for Sj's birthday...about a year & a half ago)

(& this is just a delightful picture of Hw in Kaos one time-loving life!)

This picture makes me giggle :]

I love Helen. We met because she started working at the bar I work at (for 5 more days!) & then we went out a lot...& the rest is history!

I think one of the things I love most about her (the way she dresses & cares about it as much as I do aside), is her amazingly positive attitude & outgoing-ness! She's always such a hyper, happy person...♥♥♥ it.

 (From the German Market, Christmas just gone, with hot chocolates after our fake Christmas day♥)
