Some good news/bad news in bullet form! Yay!

• I know I should Support the Small Shopkeeper, but I went to Boots with my prescription instead of the gloomy bloke on the bridge and received a nice chat and some useful suggestions after five years of nothing.
  
• Lancashire Cricket Club have voted to stay at Old Trafford, as long as the council agree to ( Read more... )

( exciting news about my underwear! )

I heard a funny noise and thought it was rain on the window. Unlikely unless the rain was nibbling it. I went to the corner behind the bin and cleaned out some stuff there that was supposedly non-organic (unless you count the surprise packet of dried bananas and pizza crust). I tidied it out anyuway and just as I moved the last bag a little brown ( Read more... )

I tried to hennacise my hair into a slightly more intriguing russetty colour and it has turned out a bizarre dark orangey-scarlet This will not help me get office work, as I have to look as drab as possible for that. Mind you, they never expect much from temps, so maybe it'll make me memorable ( Read more... )

The anti-v Smiths Quote Day was great!
