BLOGMAS DAY FIVE: FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS FILMS

Christmas films: you either love them or you hate them. I, personally, love them, they're so happy and everything ends happily! What more do you want for the supposed 'season to be merry'. Some of my favourites have to be:

Annabelle's Wish 
For those of you who have not watched this film, it is basically based around the old legend that Santa Claus gives animals the ability to speak on Christmas Eve. Annabelle is born on Christmas Eve and upon meeting Santa she is fascinated by the Reindeer and their abilities to fly. She befriends the Farmer's Grandson who is mute due to a fire on the farm. When Annabelle gives up her ability to speak, Billy gets it permanently. When Billy marries, Annabelle's wish is granted, she is now one of Santa's Reindeer and re-gains her ability to speak in the process. I love this film because it is just so warming and it was always my favourite growing up! I remember owning it on video and getting so excited when watching it!

It's a Wonderful Life
I haven't actually watched this for years so am a little unsure of the plot off the top of my head. I just remember my Mum loving it, and one year my Brother buying her the black & white and coloured version... I watched it and soon came to realise why my Mother loved it so much!

Home Alone 1&2
I just love these with with MC in, I feel that when they changed the characters it kind of lost it's touch a bit. It always confuses me as to how you can leave a child at home, and to then do the same thing again? You should learn from your mistakes!!! Rant over, I just love this film and it always makes me laugh...

The Holiday 
This has to be the cutest film! I actually only first watched it fully a few months ago, but I'm so glad I did! It's just so cosy and makes you jealous as to why you don't live in such a cute cottage at this time of year! Dammit life.

Serendipity 
I only watched this for the first time the other month, but it is so cute! It makes you annoyed slightly though, as to how close they are to each other, yet keep missing one another. It contains all the stereotypical things to do in the Holiday's puts you in a rather festive mood.

I have many more, I just can't put my finger on them right now! What are your favourite Christmas films then?

FEBRUARY FAVOURITES!

Aloha, we just want to start this off with a little 'Sorry Note'. Sorry that we haven't posted is so long, and we're a little crap at posting regularly... One reason is that we have no inspiration at the moment, and another is that we wrote a really long 'January Favourites' post and then deleted it by accident, and that put us into really bad moods... So, we're sorry! Right, lets go with this post then! This is only going to me my (Amy) favourites as Megan can't think of any... It's a stretch to think of some for myself... haha!

GOSSIP GIRL! Oh my, this show rules my life, I live to watch this show, yeah, that's another reason we haven't posted in a while too... If you watch it I'm sure you'll let us off... For those of you who haven't watched it, here's a quick synopsis: Set on the upper east side (New York). There's a blog going around called Gossip Girl and it just follows a popular group of people in a school, nobody knows who the Gossip Girl is, and people can also send in anonymous secrets, it reveals many scandals. Okay, so that wasn't really a synopsis, just the first series... haha, I'm coming to the end of series three so far, and my favourite character is Chuck, hands down... Ed Westwick is just perfection, and Chuck is just an even better version!

Hartley's 10 Calorie Jelly - Jelly is just so good, and I never really think of it when I think of puddings though... Megan introduced this to me, as she has it at her house. The Strawberry and Kiwi version is only 4 calories and is still really flavoursome! I can't wait to go out for my friends birthday, as we're going to an All You Can Eat restaurant and they have jelly, I think I'm going to eat loads of it! YAY!

Instagram - I realise this is a bit of a weird favourite to have, but I have a Blackberry and can't use/ upload to it, so I tend to use Megan's Phone/ iPad to post, not as frequent as I would like though... I get really addicted to it and then when I leave her house I get withdrawal symptoms. I think you all should follow me on there, I've started using it more in the last half of February, my name is @amykxy I'm on private but I accept anyone that isn't from my school or family... haha. Also whilst we're on the 'social media' topic, I've just made a new Twitter: @amykxy you all should follow me on there too! Thanks!

MUSIC - Throughout February I managed to gain a whole other music taste, I seem to be becoming more and more into more 'edgier' groups like: Sleeping With Sirens, All Time Low, The Pretty Reckless, Pierce The Veil, Panic At The Disco!, You Me At Six, Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, Falling In Reverse. I mean, I don't like these groups as much as One Direction in some aspects, I don't obsess over their members, well, apart from Taylor Momsen, but she is just utter perfection. I don't even know the members of half of these groups, I just really enjoy their music!

So they are all of my favourites of February, they're not really like the last few months but hey ho!

CAKE IN A MUG RECIPE!

Aloha beautiful people! Sorry we haven't posted in a while, we just ran out of ideas from posting so frequently, our bad!

So today, this post is going to be a cake in a mug recipe! This recipe is so quick and simple! It's great! you will need:

6 table spoons of self raising flour,

2 table spoons of milk

2 table spoons of butter or oil, oil works better,

1 egg,
3 table spoons of sugar,
Chocolate if desired

You then shove all of the ingredients together in a bowl, and cook for 5 minutes! If you take it out and its not cooked, then cook for longer, obviously... And remember that it won't be golden brown, as a microwave oven doesn't get hot enough for that chemical change to happen, wow, going all science on your asses... Haha.

Although it says 'cake in a mug' this recipe always is perfect for a bowl, what we do is bake in a bowl, then flip it over onto a plate! Or in several mugs? A lot of the chocolate goes to the bottom, so you are then greeted with melted chocolate on the top, mmm.

This doesn't look too great... But it tastes amazing, mmm!

So that is a quick post done, sorry again for taking so long to post! Hopefully it won't happen again! Do you like the baking posts? Tell us in the comments or tweet us (links page) if you like this sorta thing? Or what posts you want us to do? We want to get to know some of you, so speak up! Or type up? PLEASEEEE!

Also, a quick question: What is your favourite soup? We're having soup the other day, and I had Oxtail, whilst Megan had this indian vegitarian one, obvuiously, so we just want to know what your favourite soup it?
