Berry Picking: Great Expectations

Great Expectations

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I am writing this at my Gran's trying not to make too much noise as she thinks I am having a 'lie down'. I have been greeting endless relatives who I have never heard of and don't recognise. Then they start saying, 'Oh how much you have grown!' Well that's what happens! I have been asked about 25 times tonight what I want to be and been told at least 50 times that they are 'expecting excellent exam results'. Likely that's going to happen. Everyone wants me to be a geologist, a mechanical engineer (like my dad) or a teacher (like half my family.) The only thing that has kept me going tonight is my great aunt's banoffee pie. Wow!

Right now I could be at home. Watching my Heroes boxset. Hmmm. Stay tuned though as in the next few posts I will be showing you a new outfit, my christmas presents and the blogs I will be passing my award onto! Exciting stuff!

Thank you so much for your comments and well wishies. I'm feeling better thanks, not 100%, but almost.

OHHH I love this post, it reminded me so much when I was about your age and distant relatives appeared....
LOL that sucks indeed....

Oh well, but it's just some occasional things. That shall pass ;)

FashionSqueah! said...: Oh your description of family occasions made me laugh so much! I have my Gran's 90th on Sunday and so I have this all to look forward too...I won't know who anybody is since my family are not at all close! They always comment on how you've grown, don't they? It's like "not since I was 11 actually, but thanks...". Char x; 5 January 2009 at 15:42
