33 days!

Until uni finishes here and it's Christmas time. Can't explain how excited I am! Mumma and Vic are visiting this week which will be good, but the last week or so I have been getting more and more excited for England, even though I know it's freezing and I will moan when there...

So I wrote a little list in my head of things I can't wait to be back for. And I thought I'd share the blog love again.

Most of it may be food, yes, but if you've ever done a year abroad you would understand this feeling!

Here goes:

Gravy (pie, roast, sausages/mash) Proper english food, meat and veg. All warm and wintry, get in my belly.

TV evenings - sat in the lounge with a fat ginger lump on your lap and being toooo hot watching some rubbish like eastenders or x factor. Genuinely miss family tv time.

Chicken soup - maybe its because I'm soo ill at the moment so am craving my standard ill routine. But chicken soup would really hit the spot right now.

Cats - Literally miss them so much. Prepare to be squeezed and loved a lot, pussycats.

Zac - who wouldn't miss such a cheeky monkey. Looking forward to seeing his face when I'm actually at the door. As opposed to on the computer screen!

Squash - not sure why I miss squash. I guess it's one of those things you underestimate when you have it. Fizzy drinks are just getting boring now, I want safe English tap water with some Robinson's orange please! Ahhhh.

Toast - English toast is the best. It's a fact and something ive realised here! Marmite, jam, peanut butter, anything - I do not care what is on it!! The bread here is half the size, really wheaty and sweet and also has to be done in the microwave. We don't have a toaster so when we want toast can only have half cooked soggy slices. I can't wait to go get myself some maaamite at home and have to share it all with zigs again.

Curry - it's painful how much I want an English curry. Mum, I've already chosen what I want, chicken chat with a chapati followed by a lamb tikka pathia please. Don't forget the naan. I am SO bored of eating the same stuff here. Get me some spice.

Slippers and dressing gown- its not necessarily cold enough to wear them here. But I am excited to be all snuggled in the evening wearing them in chilly England. We don't need heating here at the moment but I love the feeling of walking in from the cold to a heated house and putting my slippers on :)

Sunday fry ups - I miss egg, I miss proper English bacon, sausages, fried bread, mushrooms. And I miss when my Mumma cooks it for us on Sunday mornings!!

Work - I miss everything about work. I love my job, the people I work with (although going to be interesting with my sister now), the food, the customers and just the atmosphere. I am sadly too excited to work Xmas eve!

Car - I want to sit in my car and drive. Don't care where but I am fed up of buses and am stoked to be able to drive again.

Family - its a given that I miss the fam, but there's just something about the mad house I miss SO MUCH.

Christmas build up - It's quite sad term finishes so late here! Not only this year will I miss the Brum Xmas market but i also won't get proper chances to go xmas shopping and feel all Christmassy in England. I have a feeling a lack of a Christmas tree here means I won't really be feeling Christmassy this year until I am home! I am so excited for walking into the house and seeing a Christmas tree with pretty lights and presents - even if they will all be zac's presents!

Friends - I miss them all, and being home for so little means it sucks I won't get to probably see them all over Xmas :(

I miss loads more too, they're just the obvious ones!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not counting my days down or wanting to experience to go, I'm loving Málaga and sad how quick it's going. There's just a few home comforts I can't wait to return to!

33 days! X
