I have a pair of jeans that I always wear when I go out because they fit me perfectly and they're just sooooo comfortable (I've been wearing them for 35 years), but now they're developing fashionable tears and I'm at an age where I prefer my clothes not to have holes in them that aren't meant to be there ( Read more... )

Just so everyone knows - my computer (my Ianto) has packed up, so I'm trying to use my mum's laptop which has hardly been used and has windows 7.

I HATE WINDOWS SEVEN! It only lets me open one internet browsing window at a time. I typically have 5 going at once - my dreamwidth, torchwood_three, ff.net, ebay & Teaspoon. Now, apparently, I can't do ( Read more... )

Just to let everyone know, I might not be around for a while. We're in chaos here, a pipe burst in the loft and water came pouring through my ceiling. My bed, clothes and floor are soaked, I'll be sleeping on the downstairs floor for a while, everything is wet and now the loft isn't insulated because that's all sodden and we can barely stay warm ( Read more... )
