blog post from august 17th 2015 to september 6th 2015

So it's coming up to the time of year where people starting to plan for the winter and because my birthday is in November me and my sister who's birthday is in October and then Christmas we have been birthday/Christmas shopping. Last year by the 6th of September it was freezing but this year is warm abit but the cold starting to come. My hands are shaking so much and l still got swollen feet and it’s the winter when my arthritis starts getting worse and l have not been going food shopping for weeks now my mum and sister been going because l been to ill or nervous to go out and l didn’t have any winter shoes to go out in but my sister bought me some so l am not wearing summer shoes in winter ha-ha. But l have enough books to last me over the winter months. I also got a 3ds with animal crossing new leaf and tomodatchi life. I spend most days in my pyjamas and dressing gown. I have hayfever and take a tablet once daily and pain killers for my pain from my arthritis. I have chapped lips but l am using lip scrub from lush that’s helping my lips great and they’re soft. I won 30 books on goodreads and I love wrapping presents I wrap my sister’s and she wraps mine and I got a Christmas tree other day but got to buy my Christmas tree decoration and my colours are going to be purple and sliver hopefully because that is the colours l want and purple is my favourite colour and l just got a purple dressing gown with my name donna c and my kitten Oscar will be one in October. I am excited cannot wait for my birthday than Christmas but this year is going to be my first without my grandad l miss him loads and wish he was still here l still cannot believe he gone and today l am spending the day watching call the midwife and l am having Sunday dinner for tea l cannot wait to eat it and l watched all the seasons of call the midwife before l have got 3 of the call the midwife books l am missing some though and l will get them ones soon hopefully l just got books for Christmas at the moment but a bit to go yet and we will be buying present for our cat and dog too. I was telling my sister l cannot wait till it starts snowing in my animal crossing game and it is going to be nice to play my game in the snow l named my town rainbow in animal crossing and l called my island rainbow in tomodatchi life. I am watching house too but l like watching stuff with babies in or hospital dramas. Me and my sister’s love doing craft and my sister started watching house other day and she plays animal crossing new leaf and tomodatchi life and l watch daily bumps (missy and Bryan lanning) and Cullen and Katie and ellie and Jared. I also like watching book hauls and book collections on YouTube. But l also watch other youtubers but l listed a few of my favourites. I love Christmas and l cannot wait to watch Christmas movies or listen to Christmas music. I got to admit the winter season is my favourite and the whole feel of it and the whole family time I love.  I have a Nintendo Wii which l have a lot of games for and l have animal crossing for that too and l have Netflix too and I love watching csi, law and order and ncis. I raised by my mum she was helped by my nan and grandad. I help my mum clean our house and feed my pets and l had a terrapin  who l named lilac l had to give her away and l had a rabbit named daisy but she passed away she is buried in my garden. Me, my sister and my mum are planning to go clean up my sister Shirley’s grave who passed away 20 years ago on 9^th august 1995 and l miss her so much and I remember the day my mum told me she lost Shirley and l remember going to see them at the hospital and l held my sister Shirley in my arms she was beautiful wish she was still here she never got a chance to see the world her beautiful eyes l will never see and l never get to see her smile or she never got to see Christmas. I am hoping to help my mum get her a headstone and make her garden (her grave) look beautiful. I am a auntie of 16. Today my first born niece Cheyanne turns 16 l remember the day she was born and l was 12 years old and l suppose it is the joys of having older sisters but she was the first one to call me auntie and it makes me so proud and l love every one of them. My grandad’s ashes are close by in my house but l still miss him and me and my sister tried making soap and we failed lol but we will keep trying and when we was clearing out my grandad’s house we found loads of pictures of us when we was younger and l started walking a bit but it hurts my legs because of my arthritis and the swelling in my feet and knees. I am started to try favoured teas so far l have not liked them but got some more to try other day. I am hoping l like them.
