I've just woke up after the best sleep. Nearly 12 uninterrupted hours. After practically face planting onto my keyboard last night I went to bed at a time I'd usually scoff at, read my book for ten minutes then didn't know anything more until twenty minutes ago. Even then I would have slept more except for a cracked out dream I had.

Man, that book. The Idol series cracks me up. I know slash stories tend to be pretty unrealistic but I hope that goes for the these too. The book I'm reading now has one of the worst euphemisms for penis ever. Man meat. Who the hell calls a penis their man meat? I know the books are written as gay fantasies, so they would be harsher than normal. But when I read things like 'grunting Pablo thrust his rosy man meat into Justin's gaping arsehole' I couldn't do anything but laugh. And yes, he was called Justin, I wasn't making that up *g* The book I'm reading now also has an addiction to hairy men, which is okay, but what isn't is saying things like 'naked, Scott stood up, showing off his body covered in a thick black mat of fur.' Fur! What is he? A wookie?

Hahaha, just asked James if he'd call his penis man meat. He looked at me and said 'this isn't for another of your porny stories is it?' Poor guy's used to being asked weird questions now *g*

Have to go get ready now. We're going Christmas shopping at the MetroCenter, and I *don't* want to go. I want to stay home and finish mailing Mouse :(

Just came home from shopping, MetroCenter was looking beautiful, all the lights are up and Santa arrived today!

But before we went we had the best news. James had applied for a new job a few weeks ago and he got it this morning! He's going to be a team leader with the inland revenue with better hours and a £5000 a year pay rise.

I was so happy for him. You know three years ago we were on social security, with about £100 a week to live on, our house was rented from the council and we had to use buses to get around. Now we own our own house, car and James is climbing the career ladder. Sometimes I can't believe it. Sure we're mortgaged to the hilt and we'll be paying off debts for years but we don't have to worry about having money to buy food or be warm again and that feels fantastic.

I feel so happy just now. I hope you all feel just as good. *Throws kisses and hugs to flist* then *twirls like Nick*
