christmas shopping

i spent 6 hours in the trafford centre today, doing my christmas shopping with nicola. i didn't think ahead and wore high heels (stupid stupid me) so my feet are a bit puffy and sore now. i bought a few things but i still need to shop some more. i just have no gift ideas this year! we went to la tasca for lunch and ordered crazy amount of food. i ate about half of everything i had - mushrooms in garlic, aubergine bake and patatas bravas - some olives, bread with oil and one mushroom thingy nicola's ordered. it was all nice food, i'm happy we went, it was a lovely meal. however, i think i will put on shitloads of weight this week as i'm not doing really well (more about this later).
the last shop we went to was gap. i bought size 14 jeans on the 4th of october and couldn't even put size 12 on. today, i decided i would try as i really need to buy regular length jeans for when we go to slovakia as i won't wear heels (lots of ice). so i tried the size 12 on and they fitted great! as if they were made for me! i'm so so so happy! it means i've lost a jeans size in less than two months!

i'm not doing well foodwise. all i want to eat is crap. i want chocolate, i want crisps. and the worst thing is - i have it. i'm bracing myself for a huge gain this week. also, all this salt i ate today. we'll see on sunday.

i'm going to london tomorrow. originally, i was going for maths class but there is a palaeontology class as well so i'll go to that one. exciting!
