Claire's little Halloween party today was pretty good. Lots of fun things to eat, including pumpkin-shaped pizzas (which the girls got to make themselves), dirt dessert, fairy cakes to decorate, and party bags. The party bags were a blast to do, though now our house is covered in confetti that won't sweep up so I need to get the vacuum out (and ( Read more... )

Today we got about $400 in council tax rebate cheque form. Hurrah for Christmas money! The only problem is that it has both our names on it, and we don't have a joint account, because I would destroy Olly's credit. Now, I know we've had this problem before. Olly says we didn't solve it but I refuse to believe that we left what I recall to be a ( Read more... )

Yesterday I turned 26. It wasn't a bad day overall, though uneventful. Woke up feeling ill so we didn't go into town, but instead went to Olly's parents' house for the evening ( Read more... )

Last weekend I had decided to go up to London because I'd heard there was a Cinnibon that opened there, the first one in the UK. A bit lame of an excuse, but it was set. A few days after I'd decided that (maybe 2 weeks before or so) Sean Mason messaged me saying he'd be in London for a bit for work, incidentally on the same weekend! My excuse ( Read more... )

This past week has been good- a lot more active than weeks of late. I went out with Steve sometime last week, did a bit of ill-advised shopping, had lunch. It was good. Saturday, Chris and Jo came to Colchester to meet up with their friend Gemma and invited me along. Again, was good to get out and see people, and we had a good few drinks and ( Read more... )

Can't believe i haven't yet posted about OMG FINISHED WITH UNDERGRAD FINALLY. It's probably because I've had a crazy week since finishing. Last Thursday was my last exam, which was my Psychology of Depression exam (pretty much the only abnormal/therapy psych class I took, or was offered) which went fairly well, but was one of those where I left ( Read more... )

My Lush order still hasn't come yet. The grab bags aren't expected to all be sent out until Tuesday, but I'm feeling really anxious about it. Might call tomorrow morning to double check the order went through (as apparently some people had problems, argh). If there's an issue with the order, I swear I'm going to hurt something or someone. It'll ( Read more... )

Okay, so first off, ignore the time stamp on there. It's really like 4am for me, or something- I've been waking up at about 9pm the past few days since pulling an all-nighter and then going to class to try to fix my jet-lag. Well, I was fine for the class, but when I came to bed after coming home I slept all day (Claire helped by sleeping as well ( Read more... )

I've been productive today! Or at least, I did things, some of which needed to be done ( Read more... )
