Family Reunion

I finally got to take a sneaky trip home to Ireland...to surprise my beloved Godmammy for her 50th birthday. And keeping it secret for an entire month was definitely worth the wait! So far, in this year alone, I have made not one, but TWO people cry with surprise by flying home for their birthday. I'm loving that feeling of accomplishment and happiness :)

I'm not gonna lie, I had a total PDA moment when I met my Mam at the bus stop. It had been 5 long months since I had gotten a Mammy hug so I feel it was completely acceptable! I got the biggest smile when we picked my lil' sis up from school - I say 'little' but she's actually 17 - however I just still think of her as my baby sister because I moved to Scotland when she was only 12. She even took a half day for the special reunion, bless.

I got to put the glad rags on and wear my new Warehouse guna >>>>>> However, the wear itself was severely disappointing when my cousin noticed two massive holes in the back of the dress. The stitching came away from the back black panels on both sides... Jaysus, I felt like a whale but it wasn't like I was bait into the dress like!? Luckily Debenhams were more than happy to refund the faulty dress but it was still sad to part with it... The sales Advisor said it was lucky I kept my receipt. I was quick to respond that I also work in retail. Enough said.

Me with my sis Laura, cousins Michaela & Niamh, and the Birthday girl Mary
I have the loveliest Mam in the world. I'm missing Christmas this year for the first time ever so I'm going to be a total Grinch. It will be the first Christmas in the new house, and I feel like an outsider as it is, so will be shit that I can't be there with them. Nonetheless my Mam has gone above and beyond by presenting me with my Christmas stocking early so I have 'a little something to open Christmas morning'. Bless her cotton socks! Apparently she went on Penneys (Primark) mission so I have 'my real' stocking when I come home for New Years...I feel very spoilt :) Yet I'm seriously gonna struggle with the anticipation of opening said stocking...It might be a good idea for my flatmate to take it hostage for me until D Day?!
