I have just been cat-wrangling in town. That was not fun. Steve & I found a cat remarkably similar in appearance to Cleo about to wander into the busy Foss Island Road next to Sainsburys ( Read more... )

We've been getting 6 calls on some days from an international unobtainable number which have been studiously refusing to answer. We're x-directory but, of course, that still means overseas people can still call you as much as they like.

Steve finally decided to answer & try this on someone. It was most amusing. I propose starting a league table for ( Read more... )

Saturday: Got hair chopped, VJs, played the 1 v 100 prize quiz on the XBox. Didn't win a car :(
Sunday: Finished stripping my room of wallpaper.

Monday: Cleaned the bathroom. Steve cooked brunch for greynolds , wendles ,

I think the Woodland Wilf superglued to the Welcome sign is really just a drunk imposter. Also, in 4 minutes time I can open all my birthday presents.

 I'm feeling quite pleased with myself as I managed to get a pair of smart work trousers, 4 T-shirts and a funky new top for under £35. In fact it would have been under £20 if I hadn't really liked the Per Una top. It's baggy and white with sparkly bits and mother of pearl bits - very comfortable in this hot weather. I'm sure my existing t-shirts ( Read more... )

thirsty_pixel - you might want to avoid eating at your gym! The Rose and Crown, Fiesta Mehicana & The Hog Roast are also mentioned among the worst.
