I'm blogging from my bed at home in cold, snowy Scotland!
I'm so happy to be home for Christmas, words cannot even describe! Actually getting home was quite a challenge though... the second of my trains to the airport was cancelled, meaning I had to get a replacement bus service, on which I freaked out as I'd convinced myself I'd be late for check in. Of course, I actually got to the airport in plenty of time...
I'd checked in online, so I just had to put my case through the do-it-yourself baggage drop. Stress free, right? Nope. My case was 6kg over the weight limit. They charge £15 per kilogram that you're over. So I end up wearing 3 jumpers at once to get it down to 5kg over, meaning a £75 fine. I figure ok, I'll have to pay this, put my card in - declined. Twice. I check my account, and I have £15. I swear I had £90 in there a few days before, and I had NOT spent anything since... long story short, I called my mum crying in the airport, and my fantastic, supportive parents covered the £75 so I could fly home!
Then of course my flight was delayed about an hour and a half.
And I cried when I we started the descent into Edinburgh.
I really didn't realise how much I missed home until I got back. And now I'm trying to catch up with  and see EVERYONE I've been missing! So far I've seen two friends from the year below, my best friend and her family, and my darling choir friends. Just a few more to go... it's a good thing I've got four weeks!
Wishing everyone reading a merry Christmas (and a happy new year if I don't have a chance to blog before then)!
