Post Christmas


I've not had a day where I've stayed in and done nothing since Christmas Eve. Every day I've been out seeing people. On Friday I went out for lunch with Sarah to Wagamama. I've not seen her in ages as all she does in work. She was actually in work after we met up.


Sarah got the cod ramen.


I got the teppanyaki yaki soba but in soup. This is what I usually get but I get it with udon noodles from the teppanyaki but I didn't want something that was fried. I asked the waiter who had to ask the chef and ask around. He came back and said it was fine but they didn't know how it would turn out. I said it would be fine because with noodles you can have it dry or in a soup. I did ask for udon noodles but they did it wrong and gave me yaki soba noodles which was fine I didn't want the hassle of the food going to waste.


I did take a photo of Sarah with her food but I clearly mustn't have as there is no photo which is really weird and never happened before.


I went home and later on in the night I met up with Kelly and Josh in Woolton Village. I met up with them in Pickled Olive where we had a drink then went over to Nowhere but it was packed so we walked back out. John Kelly's brother came to meet us and we ended back in Pickled Olive as it wasn't as busy and had another drink. Then we went over to the Elephant for a drink. We ended up in one of John's mates family parties down the road. (Kelly knows him too). I wasn't even drinking as I had my car and didn't get back till 1am. It was a weird night but it's always nice to catch up with Kelly as I won't see her for a while now!


So I made waffle mix on boxing morning before I went to the match when I made scones to make them in Tracy's as she has a waffle maker but there was so much food we didn't end up making them so she asked me to go back yesterday to make them.

Good job we didn't make them on boxing night when everyone was around as it was so messy. It just over flowed out as the maker wasn't deep enough to hold it all in when we didn't even fill it up that much! I'm so glad I don't have one as I would probably use it once and realise the mess and never use it again as it was a nightmare to wash. Definitely going out for waffles and not making my own or someone else can make and do the cleaning up.

They turned out alright but the recipe I used was a bit rubbish they weren't really sweet you have to have it with something but I guess you wouldn't really eat them dry. The mix ended up making quite a few so I used up all the mix and brought them home to just toast them to warm them up. They taste alright once they're toasted like they've just been freshly made.

This is is it for the year! It will officially be 2020 after tomorrow. The year has flown by - I feel like I've done loads but also haven't like there was so much more I could have done. I did run a marathon, go to Canada and a cruise - which I need to finish posting which I will eventually... Hope you've had a good 2019 and an ever better 2020!

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...

Christmas 2019


Annual cousins Christmas photo!

Merry Christmas!

Hope you had a good Christmas!
This year Christmas Eve was spent at home as my mum and dad were actually at home. I did manage to get a gym session in with Jo then got back to have crispy duck and pancake.
On Christmas Day we went to nanny Wing's on Christmas day for lunch at 1pm.



Christmas spread done by Nanny Wing and Auntie Christine. Food was good!





All the Wing's minus Gary, Kirsty, Lucas and Oliver!

After we played Articulate which I finally bought myself which I've been obsessed with since playing it in Sindy's 2 years ago. My favourite board game especially when I'm so competitive.

I say this every year but it just doesn't feel like Christmas at all. It's always nice for the family to get together though. Boxing Day was fun I got to go to the Everton match..!
