Boxing Day

Everton v Burnley

Thursday 26th December 2019

I got to go to the Burnley game on Boxing day with my Uncle Mike and Brandon as my Uncle Ray couldn't go. It's been a while since I've been to see Everton. I've still yet to see them lose so was hoping my luck was still going strong and with Carlo Ancelotti's first game as manager it was going to be a good game!

I only got asked on Christmas day if I wanted to go to the match and already said I was going to bake scones to take to Tracy's and make waffle mix as she has a waffle iron. I had to get up early to make sure they were all done before going to the match. I got picked up at 1pm as kick off was at 3pm.

The weather wasn't great it was that horrible drizzle where you just get wet. Because my little cousin Brandon has a season ticket my Uncle Ray and Mike have moved to sit in the family enclosure. They used to sit in the Lower Gwladys Street end but there's just too much swearing there. These seats are good dead close can see all the players. You just can't see the right corner flag as we were sat closer to the left side. Less shelter being low down and we did pretty wet.

At the start the atmosphere was a bit quiet as people weren't sure of the new manager but it did pick up. My luck continued as we won 1-0! Clearly I need to get a season ticket because if they win or draw every time I go to see them could actually win the league... Don't think I could do that every week though if it's raining. It's alright in the summer when it's dry but sitting in the cold and rain definitely isn't for me! I do love going to the match but being wet is a no.

Everton has just beat Newcastle 2-1! Good start for Ancelotti, just need to keep this up for the rest of the season.

After the match we went to Tracy's as she was doing a gathering at hers.

There was a lot more food than this but was too busy eating it to take a photo of it!

So annoyed this was the first batch which also happened to be the biggest but was over baked!

The next two turned out so much better. We had so much food that we didn't even end up making waffles so I'm going back to Tracy's on Saturday to make them as I left the mix in hers.

I have a new favourite board game now - The Logo Board Game. Me and Chris were against Tracy, Laura and Brandon and we smashed them. But then wasn't as good with Articulate. Shouldn't have stayed with Chris for that...

We're up all night to luckyyy

Absolutely obsessed with song & I think everyone else is too! It's number 1 for the 3rd week now in the UK Top 40! I think it'll be a while before they'll be knocked off the top spot. Daft Punk & Pharrell Williams is just an amazing collaboration! Pharrell just doesn't age he celebrated his 40th birthday last month but just looks about 20, I think we all need to have whatever he's having!

This was today's outfit, I haven't done a post in a while as I'm just so stressed out with uni! I've got a 2,500 interview data analysis to do which I gave myself today as the deadline but I've clearly failed it as I've only done 2 lines... But I handed in my gender essay today which is worth the same, same amount of words & the same deadline but for a different module so at least that's out the way. But I still have 2 exams to revise for next Monday & next Thursday which I haven't even had the chance to even properly think about! I can't wait till next Thursday so I can have a rest & 4 months of basically nothing!

I just hate uni so much but dreading next year so much as it is just going to be even worse! :(

Uni really isn't worth the money especially the pain it's putting me through!

Everton v West Ham United

As you will know I'm an Evertonian & I was lucky enough to go to the last home game of the season yesterday which also was David Moyes' last home game in charge of Everton after 11 years! It was also our captain Phil Neville's last home game even though he didn't play as he's injured. 

One of my uncle's who has a season ticket is ill so I got to go! Everton beat West Ham 2-0

2 goals by Kevin Mirallas which was the perfect send off for the manger on his last home game! 

It was pretty emotional as he's a great manager & will be sadly missed. He might not have won us anything but he has been a good manger. He got a guard of honour at the end of the match as well as Phil Neville & my favourite ever Everton play Tim Cahill who left last season to play for the New York Red Bulls travelled 7000 miles to say goodbye to the manager & captain which shows how much Moyes will be missed! It did almost bring a tear to my eye, but there was plenty of tears in the stadium which was full. 

Whoever is the next manager just won't be same! But all the best to Moyes who is going to be Manchester United's new manager after Sir Alex Ferguson has decided to retire after 26 successful years. It was be hard for him to follow in his footsteps but I'm sure he'll do a great job in his own way!

Banana, Walnut & Sultana Cake

On Saturday I baked a Banana, Walnut & Sultana cake, to relieve stress, you can tell where uni is on my list of priorities...

I followed this recipe it is meant to be a bread but I don't have a bread tin so I turned it into a cake & added some sultanas. As you can tell from my baking I do like to put sultanas in everything... It was nice it think it's quite dry even though it was a pretty wet mixture before it went in the oven & I think I put more banana than what the recipe states as it doesn't specify what size bananas...

Happy Boxing Day! :-)

Christmas Day

Traditional Christmas lunch at Nanny Wing's

Traditional Christmas lunch at Nanny Wing's

Uncle Ray's girlfriend Christine made these! There's cheesecake inside then on the outside different chocolates. Orange chocolate, white chocolate covered in coconut, white chocolate covered in nuts & strawberry chocolate! They were too sweet for me

My little 5 year old cousin Brandon (well his mum my auntie) made us little parcels from toilet roll & inside there was a lego keyring (as he loves lego), a little charm, & some maoam sweets :-)

I hope yous all had a nice Christmas & boxing day & ate loads! I definitely ate far too much at my Gran's! We had roast turkey, gammon & roast pork & a load of veg! It was nice but I forgot to take my won gravy so had to make do with the horrible one that everyone had :( After food we just chilled & watched tv :-) 

All I got was money nothing too exciting which I wasn't expecting as my parents always buy me things I don't like so it's easier to just give me money to spend on whatever I want I guess!

After Nanny Wing's we came home to pick my mum up as she didn't go she was working we went to my other cousin's (mum's older sister) who live in Northwich. My cousin's weren't there though they were at their boyfriends as they were at home for lunch & went to their boyfriends for dinner so I was bored & wasn't hungry to have da beano (Chinese hotpot). My mum's younger sister & her 2 kids Jackey & Lisa (younger cousin's) were there.

I hope yous all watched Eastenders (I watch is religiously everyday!) I'm so glad Derek is dead! I hate him! He's vile & just ruins everyone's lives! I don't get why Joey was the first to go to him as I'm sure he's the first person to want him to be dead & he actually called him dad for like the first time in 20 years! It was a pretty dramatic episode as always!

Boxing Day

Today I went to the match to see Everton v Wigan at home. As my 2 uncle's Ray & Mike are season ticket holders but Ray couldn't go to the match so let me go instead. I love going to the match! The atmosphere is so good & I love football when I was in primary school I actually wanted to be a footballer & played for a girl's team. I wasn't that good so I stopped & it's so hard to be a footballer it's probably harder than being a radio/tv presenter (which is what I want to do now, I obviously don't want an easy route to my future!) 

The seats are Lower Gwladys Street so the view is pretty good & while the players were warming up I nearly got hit in the face by the ball it flew over my head luckily!

The match finished Everton 2-1 (Osman & Jagielka) The game wasn't that good definately not the best match I've been to but none the less it's a win for Everton! Keeps us in the top 5 & everytime I've been to see Everton they've either won or drawn! I haven't seen them lose yet which means I should get a season ticket & go to every match...

I hope yous all have had a good Christmas period & enjoy New Years Eve & get drunk! This limbo week up to New Years is always a bit strange never know what to do! I'll be trying to get some work done & hopefully make the most of these sales but so far I've had no luck!
