I just went to Ikea and I only took half an hour and I only spent ten quid more than I intended so that is a big success. I was planning on going other places but did not realise how heavy/awkward stuff would be so I am home again and will go places tomorrow ( Read more... )

Yes to the unexpected weight of candles.

Scarlet/Jenny is going to be red. It is that waterproof cloth stuff because n00bs cannot be trusted not to get PVA glue all over their first efforts. (Very wise indeed, I think.) The cover is made in that I have stuck cloth to boards, but it is not yet a Book Cover so much as some cloth and board that happens to correspond in size to a naked book. I hope I did not feck it up too much as I have not had Inspection.

I should phone you instead of rambling in comments. I wish phones were easier. I should also try to stop losing at finance so I can visit. It will be, um, maybe a month until that happens which is not cheering. I have those high heels and some Clothes from January-saleage so that should be it for such things for a while, and if I get Baba to buy things like shampoo it will stop me buying shite in Boots. Also if he does the food shopping I do not spend all my money on ice cream and crisps and might even be forced to cook. And I can make myself not buy wool for that hooded thing by ( ... )

Rambling is totally fine. I like your rambling. Phones are scary and so is finance. Also your plans sound wise and sensible.

Book could not possibly be crap but it is true that even if it was I would like it as it is from you.

It was the way I broke it that was the problem, though. Sigh. (I do not regret! The ice-cream is goood!)

At least you re-ate the blood, thus minimising waste. That is prudent.

I have a post brewing, with Thoughts and some things Marco said when I did preliminaries of Thoughts at him, about my tendency to express myself through Buying Stuff. Marco suggests that as a shy person I may be doing it because of general nerves re: self-expression which may be a point. Also it's like our, like, capitalist, like, culture, man.

It will be good to give books away because you and Laa will give them love and not criticism. I have been planning in my head how to file the pile of corduroy for covering, and that is a bit warped. But hey, ambition is supposedly Good or summat.

There is nothing wrong with buying stuff except the part where it costs money and nobody will pay us to do stuff. (I saw far too many pairs of shoes I wanted earlier, most of them were red and some of them were absolutely ridiculous.)

There is nothing wrong with filing corduroy. (I plan to investigate menswear cords at some point as presumably they are not so delicate as womenswear ones.)

blah blah sleeps now does things in morrow. (wedding in two days! oddness!)
