When Jack and I were in Cardiff over Halloween, I bought some 'nom nom Proper Welsh Chocolate'. The flavour is Toffee Waffle, which it says contains 44% Venezuelan milk chocolate, Tregroes waffle pieces, cinnamon, and salted caramel. It's exactly as yummy as that sounds ( Read more... )

The Jubilee long weekend is drawing to a close in rain, which seems appropriate. I saw quite a lot of Union Jack umbrellas today. *g* Wandered down to the park yesterday where they had a Fun Fair all weekend with some rides and games and that - there were some dance exhibitions today, including some bellydancing, so we were going to go back, but it ( Read more... )

Any of the services I looked at required a one, one and a half, or two-year contract, though, so I just went for price/coverage/free modem thingie (some charge for the USB ( Read more... )

I say "sort of" because when I was in the temp agency office on Friday doing the standard computer tests (re: which, btw, it appears I am extremement rusty when it comes to mail merges in Word, and as I have Office 07 on my laptop, I can't even practice since it has a wizard *headdesk*), the recruitment lady had told me that she didn't currently ( Read more... )
