The Remaining Things To Say
Christmas Eve was a pleasant and relaxing day until I had to change out of my PJs and get dressed into an uncomfortable outfit and wobble about in 5 inch heels to the Ranger to be driven to the service stations. Filming everything as I went, got some cool shots. We arrived at the service station and the horrific image of Christmas (my mother) was standing there smiling like a Cheshire Cat. Was positively scary. I had to go into the service toliets to put on tights which was not easy in those cubicules. I then had £5 shoved into my hand and was ordered to go to McDonalds. I was like ooook. I protested but then I was told to go so I did. I got McDonalds, transferred my things from Colin's Ranger to Mother's ickle Clio and then my mother and I were on our way to the cemetary. We got to the cemetary and I had to tell my mother which right turn to turn out to get to the Polish section. I got out of the car, freezing cold and stood there while mother lit a candle for Diadzia. We then made our way back to the car and drove to Babcia's. Babcia is even more senile than before, it's really weird. Everyone was argueing and such like and it was such a bore. I waited around reading and getting extremely bored then Ciocia and Kasia arrived. Great I thought, something to entertain me but it turns out that Kasia has turned into a spoilt brat as my mother said. She is horrible. She gave me so much cheek so I was really annoyed at her and ignored her when she wanted something. I'm not being treated like that from my cousin, so then I read and listened to my mp3 player on full blast while I had the annoying 7 year old shouting at me and kicking me to get my attention. Horrible little child, she kept saying "but you're my best cousin, Sara, SARA!" Finally it was ready for the Polish meal I had been dreading. First it was "holy" bread that we had each and let everyone take a bit of it wishing them all the best and kissing them. It's so boring. Then came the soup and Polish bread and normal bread. Both the soup and the bread (not the Polish one) was quite nice, I knew I wouldn't eat the next course so I had more soup. Then everyone else had bigos (which is cabbage and mushrooms and well it's horrible) and they also had fish (which I don't eat). So I carried on munching on my bread. Then I was told to go check is some weird Polish guy had come (Father Christmas' friend, for Kasia obviously). I went to go luck and wow, just as I had suspected. He had arrived and funnily enough he brought the same gifts that my mother and my aunty put in the front room. Funny that. We went in the front room and handed out presents. Kasia got shitloads being a kid, my Uncle got lots of alcohol, my aunty got a t-shirt or something, earrings and some other stuff and I can't remember what my mother got. I got a CD Rack (which I've found out I really really don't like because it doesn't hold the CDs right and I have more than 60 CDs obviously) and my Babcia gave me some money, then forgot she did (because she's senile) so she gave me more money. I filmed all this, makes shit viewing. It was to shut the kid up. Then my mother and I finally left at about 9 (we needed to get out of there as soon as possible because it absolutely stunk of rotting eggs or rats or something. My mother said this was because when she cleaned out the fridge last week there was stuff that had gone off last year). We then had a nice drive home, we got home sorted out my mother cakes and drank wine then we had a present opening session. Because we're Polish we have a right to open some presents earlier :D I got a Bush Audio System with speakers which is ok-ish. My mother opened one of hers, some orgasmic shower moose so she could smell nice for the next day. We went to bed about midnight, my mother still pestering me about how she wanted to listen to HIM and I had Silverchair on.
In the morning I was woken up at half 7 and I went downstairs and had some alcohol then went upstairs, got showered and dressed then at half 10 we were ready to go. So we drove to Colin's. I sat there reading, which I was shouted at and said it was Christmas, I shouldn't read, but there wasn't much else to do. Then finally when all the food was cooking nicely we went to open presents. Everything I got from Colin was alcohol based which was amusing and my mother gave me shit stocking fillers like socks, chewing gum and well other shit things. She gave me an alarm clock she said jumped up and down and all it did was sound a little buzzing noise, it was awful. She also got me this watch/bangle. It looks like an oversized bangle and if you open it slightly you get totally scratched to death and you can see a clock face. I don't wear it, it hurt too much. It was a nice thought but in all honesty, my mother can't buy good presents. Then I just sorted watched TV and did nothing until Colin's best friend Terry and his wife Susannah arrived. They're really nice people and I was glad that Colin had nice friends to spend Christmas with. I opened some champagne (we had loads of bottles) and then we toasted. My mother went over the top and said "to health, wealth, stealth, wealth and lots more wealth". I'm sure I was going to shoot her. Then I went back to just chilling out and watching TV. Then the doorbell rang and Colin went to answer it then I was called into the kitchen to say hi to Red. I greeted Red then went back to the living room. Red came in and we talked for a bit and he was actually quite a cool guy. Got on fairly well with him. Terry and Susannah and Red opened their presents. Terry got a flying saucer (which I helped choose), Susannah got a Botanics bath set and Red got a beer mug and beer. Finally, after waiting all day at about half 4 the food came. For starters we had a Stilton soup which was really nice. The next courses were just the vegetables, meat, which I didn't eat much of and then no one could manage dessert and my mother was too pissed to serve dessert. We all went to the lounge where Terry and Susannah fell asleep on the sofa, ultra pissed Christina on the other couch. Colin, Red and I played Trivial Pursuit but didn't get very far. I filmed Red and Colin and took pictures of them to show Kate because Kate was also curious about Red when I mentioned this guy I never met before I was spending Christmas with. I sent the picture of Red to Kate. At 8:15 Red had to go because he was going out. He had asked me if I wanted to and I said I had nothing suitable to wear (which was true). He then left. He came back when Terry and Susannah had woken up, (Terry & Colin) were playing a trick on my mother telling them I had gone with Redmond, then they started to annoy me ( I was hiding behind a wall) and they were saying, "I'm going to be best man" "Let's keep it in family" (By the way, we're not related) and they were being all horrible saying things. Then half an hour later Red came back for some reason after going to the house. He asked Terry for some money and he said no then he went again and I said bye to him then he took my phone off me and put his number in and told me to tell him how Rawtenstall was. I was like oook and then I texted him later and told him I wish I went with him cause everyone was asleep and it was really boring. I then went to bed about 2 or 3 in the morning, having more alcohol than everyone else but still not drunk.
Boxing Day was boring. Went downstairs, had a piece of toast for breakfast and Colin was there sorting out yesterday's goose for a goolash or something odd like that, apparently it's like a stew. I just watched TV for most of the day. In the afternoon Terry and Susannah came over. Terry was asking me about Red and saying he was glad I didn't go with Red. I said why and he told me that Red hadn't come back the night before and that he would of killed him if I hadn't got back last night. But then it was added that Red would of looked after me if I had gone. Terry and Susannah stayed and ate with us. I had roast potatoes which were delicious. I also was given half a pizza cause I didn't have much to eat. Then people had desserts and I just drank more beer again lol. Then we watched Catch Me If You Can. It was a really good film. Then Red came to pick up his parents. Colin made me go and close the gate so I hobbled out in his flip flops in the cold snow and Red was obviously forced to come out of his car and talk to me. He asked when I was going back, I said tomorrow morning and he said 'oh ok' and then he said he hoped I had a good Christmas and he hopes I have a Good New Year. He then said I have his number and e-mail and to keep in touch. We then gave the annoying "kiss on the cheek" goodbye which was all forced by both parents. Poor Red for being forced to talk to me. Poor me for having to get embarassed for parents amusement. I then went inside, watched Most Haunted and "When Ghosts Attack" which were both hilarious then I put on MTV and went upstairs and watched "True Life: I'm Obese" then Cribs with Dave Berry and Naomi Campbell then I gave up and went to sleep.
This morning I woke up at half 10 being lazy. I went downstairs and had juice to drink. Immediately my mother started having a go and picking at anything she could. She turned off Kerrang Killer 20! which I was watching and said, "we don't want that infernal racket on" so i gulped down my breakfast so fast I felt sick just to get away from her having a go at me all the time. I brushed my teeth, had a shower, packed and got changed. I demanded my £100 that she refused to give me back. I then gave Colin £120 for part of my camera back and he paid for the rest then I claimed I was broke so he gave me £20. Yay I thought, £80 in spare change. Kate rang and I had a nice half hour talk with her. I took all my stuff downstairs, got all my other stuff lying about and then put it in the car. I was given a crate of beer yum :D and a Chang beer. I then said goodbye to Colin and drove back from the ultra warm Formby to the freezing cold, icy Lancashire. You could tell we had got into Lancashire, as we travelled along in the car the sides of the road suddenly became whiter and whiter. As soon as we got into Rossendale there was snow everywhere. It was so pretty. I texted Red and told him what the weather was like cause he wanted to know and I sent him a picture. The view was fit for a postcard. It is icy cold though. We got all our stuff inside and when we were inside it was so cold. I had three layers on, a scarf and gloves cause I was freezing cold. I watched Mickey Mouse's Christmas Carol and the Muppets Christmas Carol. I then came upstairs set up the CD rack, got the jist it isn't really safe because if it fell forward only a tiny bit all the CD's fell out. So I've decided I'll buy my own CD Racks which are all nice and safe. I then went downstairs, sorted out something for my mother and came here and wrote this big essay. Go me. That's it really. So now I'm cold, hungry and CD Rack-less listening to Dan's radio station which doesn't work for me and my slow dial-up.
OK so that was my last few days. Goodbye
