So I felt like getting some stuff off my chest, having nobody to talk about it to obviously! Can't believe I havn't posted anything here since November, I'm sure I did something between Christmas and New Year but apparerntly not.
Anyway Christmas went ok, Nan and Grandad were here Christmas Eve till the 27th, it's nice to have them here, feels a bit more special, other than that there was lots of food and drink and it was probably pretty simular to all of yours!
New Year was pretty crap, there are real tensions in the family at the moment. It started when my uncle didn't turn up at that funeral in October, it hasn't been forgotten and he keeps saying things and you're stood there knowing your not the only one thinking "your talking bollocks!"
Two biggest things, the whole family went to watch my younger cousin play football one night, he's finally getting somewhere with it, playing for a real clubs youth team at a proper ground. But when my uncle was asked if they'd come, he said, "Oh, I don't know what we'll be doing". This was the day before the game, if you don't have any plans for a wednesday night then you're only going to be indoors watching tele ain't ya. So they didn't turn up. But New Years he was telling my cousin how much he does want to see him play, so much infact that he didn't turn up that night or at any games since.
The other big thing, holidays. A few years back there was a plan for the whole family, nan & grandad, aunt's, uncles and cousins to go off to Florida for a couple of weeks, brilliant! N&G weren't too old, all the kids were a nice age and we could afford it. Untill booking it of course, all of a sudden my Uncle, by far the most well off of us all, couldn't afford it. So it fell apart and didn't happen.
Nothing was mentioned untill my grandads 75th last year, when my uncle let slip that he'd never go to America, no interest in it, just a big themepark as he put it. So my Dad bought up Florida, turns out he'd never planned on going. Imagine how happy everyone was to hear that.
Anyway, my Aunt turns 40 this year, and she wanted to go New York, my uncle agreed, aslong as the kids don't go, she didn't like the idea of that, and mentioned Florida, the family has pretty much made her book it, they go in August lol. I'm glad, every kid should get to go once. But it's very upsetting to be talking about my uncle like this. When I was young and didn't have anything to do with my dad, my uncle was there, when my other uncle left my aunt, he was there for my cousins, you could really feel that everything wasn't right New Years Eve, I didn't even get drunk, but did end the night with my head down the bog, throwing up, perfect!
And I have as always become obsessed with Big Brother again, I love Amy, she has to win
