turpsHappiest of belated birthdays to the most lovely wenchpixie.
I'm sorry I didn't get online yesterday to say so, but I hope you had a fabulous day ♥
It was a busy day yesterday, not that there was anything stand out and that time consuming, but it all added together to take time. In the afternoon we went to Metrocentre had a mooch around the shops taking in the Christmas decorations and then went to the cinema to see Sorry I Missed you. I'm not actually sure if this is on wide release as it's one of those small British films made which is part-funded by Lottery money. It's set in the northeast, mostly Newcastle so it was good to see so many places we knew. But man, it was bleak, the whole story obviously based on Amazon delivery drivers and zero-hour contracts. It also had one of those ends that leave you sitting there and thinking the hell?
We also managed to find and buy a specific doll my youngest niece is desperately wanting -- and then somehow set the click and collect location away from the Metrocenter. Thankfully it's a pick up at a shop close to Company Shop, so we can pick it up next time we go there. But still, how we managed to do that I don't know. But still, another gift done.
Today we're meeting Corey for tea, but before that need to go help my SiL with a tip run and James has his first telephone counselling session. He had a really bad time at work a few days ago and while he's feeling better now OC Health have arranged talking therapy for him, which I think is the right thing to do. So, I'm going to go sort out more stuff in the spare room that can be taken to the tip while he does that.
We've got vague plans to maybe go to the cinema after meeting Corey as he lives close to Silverlink Odeon. I don't know if that will actually happen though if it does, great. If not, there's always tomorrow.
With the announcement of more shows and new merch for MCR, my hope that there will be a world tour continues to grow. Also, my respect that they managed to keep such big bookings completely secret remains. So many people must have known, and yet nothing was spilled.

I'm so glad I got that doll. It's all she asked for and I had visions of it selling out.

Still. xDOooooh, I hope more merch appears, yes, and that some of it is things I want to wear *__* I am still fruitlessly searching for a replacement for my lovely raygun hoodie that I... got rid of for entirely understandable but now very frustrating reasons, and also I want enough MCR t-shirts for a full work week, because apparently I'm that kind of nerd. xD
