After work tonight I made fresh soup for tea, and cooked some of those part-cooked rolls.  It was wicked.

And now, for a change, I'm watching Buffy.

Well... this was an exciting post, wasn't it?

This weekend, or maybe one night this week if my dress arrives in time, I'm going to attempt to make a petticoat for my Alice dress.  I want to do two (or maybe three, if i've not gone batty) layers of net, three tiers on each, and then a cotton top layer with a pretty scalloped cotton edge.  Mum said if I went home she'd help me, and I'm rather ( Read more... )

So as it always is on the first day back after you've been away, I have spent the entire day doing laundry and airing the house, and trotting into Beeston to do some shopping.  We loaded up on summer fruits, which was wonderful, except I've eaten a lot of raspberries, which has annoyed Dan a bit ( Read more... )

Last night we went to a casino for Dan's birthday.  It was great!  I managed to turn £1 into £19 playing Blackjack, and only lost £1 on the slots!  The four of us were on the bus at 11.45pm and were being a bit loud and stilly because we'd all cashed our chips.

I made a ridiculous amount of chocolate brownie for Dan's birthday cake, and now have ( Read more... )

Quote of the day: 'Lewis probably pressed his special little button.'

Sebastien Vettel, you are a gem.

Also, Jenson overtaking Lewis was possibly the sweetest motorsport moment of the last three years.  He was brilliant today.  This was a great race - it's what F1 should be like.

How good was Nels?  Clearly the whole 'technical parity with Fernando' ( Read more... )

I did a half day today to make up for going to Leicester on Wednesday night.  Unfortunatley, because my bank and Dan's bank are wankers, and standing orders take 2 days too long, I spent the best part of an hour in HSBC and over another hour walking between our landlord's office and the Halifax.  That's the way to spend your day off, no?

I did make ( Read more... )

I'm making fruit buns.  It's rather fun.  They smell lovely.  They're supposed to be hot cross buns, but I can't be arsed to do the crosses.  Oh well.  They just need to rise a bit more and then I can put them in the oven.  Before I go to the pub.  Gah.

I had the most amazing dream yesterday morning while I was feeling a little bit hungover.  In my ( Read more... )

I got my Christmas present from Sarah today, and it was a large bottle of Gordons.  This means I haven't run out of gin in nearly two years.  Yikes ( Read more... )

...people call our house phone and when I say 'hello?' they respond with 'oh, hello there Mrs Prince.'  Without even bothering to ask otherwise (when I point out that I am not Mrs Prince) or even apologise for their mistake, they just continue with their conversation and ask to speak to Mr Prince.  Then hang up without another word when I tell them ( Read more... )

I've been watching every episode of South Park, and just watched the one about having to pick a new school mascot. The best bit was P Diddy's rap 'I like it when you vote, bitch ( Read more... )
