Happy Friday guys - I am seriously shocked and appalled by my lack of blogging over the Christmas period and for this I apologise. I had the best intentions of sharing all my Christmas festivities with you but what can I say, relaxation and now a stupid head cold has taken over. Since my last post on Christmas eve eve the past five days have been a blur of family fun, eating a grand total of three roast dinners and stuffing myself silly with more Celebrations than I'd like to acknowledge - Maltesers, Galaxy Caramels, Snickers & Twix' in case you were wondering. Oh and did I mention that yesterday included a trip to Manchester? All I can say is hello Space NK sale! 

I was well and truly spoilt this Christmas and I thought a fitting welcome back post would be to show you some of the wonderful gifts I received from my very thoughtful family, friends and boyfriend. How cool is the personalised nail polish from my best friend Gemma? It even says Cagney & Lace on the bottom! One huge surprise on Christmas day was a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC camera which my parents bought for me - I couldn't believe my eyes although I'm still trying to master the many functions it has but I'm sure it won't be long until my photography skills improve (fingers crossed!) Another beautiful gift I received was from the boy - after a recent traumatic time with my favourite Pandora ring I was gifted a replacement in the form of a yellow gold Astley Clarke ring with moonstones in, it may just be my new favourite thing.

I hope you're all enjoying the festive holidays, it seems crazy how New Years Eve will soon be upon us (personally I'm not a huge fan after a pretty disastrous party last year) so I'll definitely be the one hanging onto Christmas for as long as possible, having said that I've got a very good feeling about the year 2013 - one of my closest friends is expecting, another friend is getting married and let's not forget the boy and I may just go and buy a house! A new years resolution of mine is to be more organised and to keep my blog posts more regular so I know my brand new personalised blogger note book will help massively (thank you Lauren!)

What were your favourite Christmas gifts?

I hope you all enjoy reading this post and don't feel like I'm bragging about my Christmas gifts. I for one am incredibly nosey and love to hear what you've got for Christmas so was I dying to do this post. I'm incredibly grateful for all my Christmas gifts and realise I'm a very lucky girl.
