Yesterday I was up at the miraculously early time of 9:30am, but only because I'd asked Dad to wake me up for the Saturday flea market. It had been ages since I'd gone, so I thought I'd have a gander and see what was on offer, maybe pick up a few records.

All four of us went; Dad because he needs a crowbar to complete his Gordon Freeman Halloween costume sort out the fence (he's still planning on getting a German Shepherd, but as you'll recall the rescue people who did the home visit said our fence wasn't secure enough on Crazy Dope Guy's side), Nathan for the walk, and Ashley because he's still got a tenner burning a hole in his pocket since his 17th birthday last month.

Dad got his crowbar, Ashley had an embarrassing incident in which he bought a full-face bike helmet for 50p, tried it on, it was too small and he had to take it back. Lesson learned: try before you buy, if possible. As for me, I found three records quite to my liking, which came home with me...

( But because I'm a dreadful person, they're under the cut... )

My Dad. He isn't perfect, but despite all that he raised me right and I'm so grateful to have had such a father figure in my life. Without my Dad, I wouldn't be the eccentric, independent and creative person I am today.

Nathan and Ashley, the best siblings you could ask for. Because they're like me (placid/can't be arsed wth bickering), I've been able to grow up in a household with people I can always have a laugh with; people I'm on the same wavelength as. They're nuts and I love them to bits!

And now the one you're probably all expecting. Jason. We've been going out nearly eight months now and he is my everything. He's generous, funny and handsome, appreciates me for who I am and makes me feel good about myself without making me depend on him to make me feel that way, if you know what I mean. He's so good to me; a lovely, fun person who never fails to make me smile. I'm so excited about the future we have together; I know that as long as it's with him, my future will be beautiful. I've never felt as lucky to have someone as I have about him. <3
