Snow and Ice

When I came down this morning for breakfast, I told my dad about how addictive Peggle was (thanks for that one Bossman!)so my dad said I should show it to him. So of course I did. After that my mum wanted to play the Polar Panic demo. She got addicted! And, for once in a long, long time for a while, my mum was a gamer again. I got a glimpse of this the other day when playing Uncharted 2 (she was watching) and she was helping me solve a puzzle, getting involved for once. But today she really did relive the old days, even if she wasn't as good as she used to be! Her reactions were a bit slow as she tried to crush the Santa's with ice blocks! Sounds mental and it is kind of. We were all shouting "push!" at her, next door must have thought someone was giving birth, haha! Nah, we weren't quite that loud.

After that we had an hour to get ready before Kelv and Sue came round, we'd agreed to go for a walk with them. So I dressed myself in four layers and a stupid pink hat. We went for a walk across the common to duck lake which was almost completely frozen over. There was ice everywhere which I hate walking on. I thought I would be okay in my walking boots but apparently they're not very good, they had NO grip on the ice whatsoever. I was sliding along the place so I had to keep hold of my sisters hand most of the time! It was a nice walk though, we had a fun time making snowballs then throwing them so the dog chased after them! Silly dog even tried to pick them up with his mouth!

But as lovely as it was, I was glad to get home and get warm. Amy invited me out to the pub tonight but I really don't feel like it as I have a headache. It's her and Adams' birthday on the 21st and I'm so glad that Amy said she'd be going out on the Thursday because, of course, I'm going to be busy the rest of that weekend! Phew! Wouldn't have wanted to miss out on their birthday. I have no idea what I'm going to buy them though! Might just buy them a drink for convenience sake. I haven't been shopping for an age and can't see myself going soon. Even if I did, I would have no idea about what to buy. Yes, drinks will have to do.
