Not posted on here in ages... I have been reading. But writing requires inspiration. And having more than 30 seconds at a time to sit down and think of stuff. Facebook lends itself to short, superficial "yay, I have cider/managed to put Izzy's hair in a french plait like a proper mummy/boo, it is raining" type posts that take no time. For LJ I ( Read more... )

Scottish Power have written me to tell me they are fixing my prices for another year. The only problem with this is that I know they have dropped their prices since they last fixed them for me. Cheeky sods ( Read more... )

I've had quite an eventful day today - discovered some little @$%^& had chucked eggs at my car overnight when we went out this morning, so the first thing I had to do when I got home was call council (seeing as this is a council block) and police to let them know.

I'm on holiday this afternoon and tomorrow, and Mat leave officially starts on Monday. Woohoo!

I'm going to celebrate by having an afternoon nap. I think it will all sink in tomorrow morning when I don't HAVE to go anywhere :)

What do I want for Christmas? People keep asking me, but I can't think what I want ( Read more... )

Esciting stuff of the weekend: Richard now has significantly less hair and Sel and I went to Dr Fells on Saturday and made new friends. Sunday was spent contemplating the discovery of all the muscles that I use for wiggling my bum on the dance floor, but do not use when walking or cycling. Ow! Oh, and despite their best efforts, I did not run ( Read more... )

I am currently "enjoying" a disco coertesy of the man downstairs. He has his stereo on so lound I can hear the words. I was having a nice nap, and he woke me up. Even at 4 in the afternoon, there is really no excuse to have your music that loud. I am going to let him off today, seeing as it is Christmas Eve and all. And at least he is listening ( Read more... )
