Oops...
K, guess what I did Saturday? Yup, I slept. Problem with insomnia and a full time job is you still need to drag your carcass into work each morning during the week, no matter how little sleep you've had. Which means by the weekend you're exhausted, so you catch up on the sleep. Which means your body confirms its opinion that waking up at 2pm is the correct thing to do. And so the cycle perpetuates.
And so to today. My sister rings. Did you go shopping yesterday? What did you get Mum for her birthday?
Ah, that was what I was supposed to do yesterday. So, rush into town, catch Ottakers before it closes. Literally, 4.27pm and it closes at 4.30pm. Relief as they've got the Pam Ayres series from Radio 4 on CD; something Mum will like that she knows comes from me as it was me that got her into listening to Raqdio 4 when I lived in Manchester, and she's always liked Pam (who's been remarkably funny on Just a Minute recently, very enjoyable).
Except, of course, I can't resist, so I bought the Stephen Fry read audiobook of the Guide (um, I've read all te books, wathced all the shows, listened to the radio shows, why do I need the audiobook? Oh, wait, it's read by Fry, of course, that's a good reason...) and some other books; trashy stuff this time, my serious books to read pile has gone down slowly recently, so figured I need a break.
and some Maltesers (both were on offer, couldn't choose). Macaroni Cheese as I'm feeling lazy. Cookies. Chocolate Hob Nobs (plain, natch). A few other little things, and I go to walk out. Past the DVD and CD section. Oops.
The new Garbage album anyone? How about the Incredibles on DVD? Nah, I'll not bother says I. Then I see, lower in the chart, a Pixar boxed set with the Incredibles, Nemo, Monsters Inc and Bugs Life. Forget about my supposed principle of not buying DVDs and CDs in Tesco.
Oops. £75 in Tesco? I only went in for some bread and some milk...
That's why I avoid shopping. I hate wondering around looking at things, I just want to grab and go. Which means I don't stop myself from grabbing stuff. I've been so close to buying a laptop just because it looks nice a few times too many recently...
Anyway, in election news, Kilroy has been caught out as a huge, vote rigging liar. Well, ok, it was an online poll on his own website. Read how the Orange Tanned One tried to rig his own poll/ Veritas=Truth? I think not.
Cuts inserted as I realised it was a little long...
