for some reason all day today i've had a garbled version of that fairytale of new york pogues christmas song crossed with something called 'blow the man down' that i heard a drunk man singing over the tannoy at lincoln christmas market last weekend. it's pretty annoying. 

On Monday I went to Ikea and bought a huge yellow shower curtain for £2.99 with which I will attempt to fashion myself a ballgown for the yellow party. This will be most good.

i am ill again. how tiresome. i recovered long enough on friday and saturday to have a most excellent time in lincoln, although it rained literally all day on saturday, which is probably what made me ill again. i did a reasonable amount of moaning about the rain / cold / crowds of people, but managed to get some christmas shopping done at least ( Read more... )

I have already given away the foam fruits and some of the dangly things, but I'm a bit reluctant just to throw the rest of it away. It didn't take me too long to make the leaves but I'm not gonna use them ( Read more... )

I was really hoping for this to be a quiet week at work, since I'm still running the footwear lab. I thought I'd be able to sit around, playing on the internet and talking to Laura. But no. Because I had Friday off sick after getting trashed on Thursday night I'm still catching up with work, so I've not even had chance to have the tiniest look on ( Read more... )

Oh my god I've got a pair of Little Mermaid shoes in for testing. I wish they would fit me but I can't seem to squeeze my feet into them.

WE ARE GETTING A KITTEN!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited, I keep needing to wee! We went to have a look at some tonight, and we picked a gorgeous little tom cat, he's 7 weeks old, and is a really nice pale shade of ginger with a white belly. He's sooooooooooooooo cute, I really wanted to bring him home tonight, but we didn't have the food and cat litter and ( Read more... )
