Let the trials begin
I am about to attempt something previously inconceivable. A vegan version of my grandma's ginger biscuits. It could all go horribly wrong.
I'll let you know... -
The sun is shining :D
I woke up this morning feeling unusually awake and happy. Through the litle corner of curtain I tucked back the other day I could see glowing rays of light... So I got up, and peeked out - what glorious meteorological manifestations met my gaze! I've never really looked out of my bedroom window, as I moved here over Christmas and it's been bleak ( Read more... ) -
The Worst Jobs in History.
Well, ok, so my list of terrible jobs doesn't quite measure up to Tony Robinson's, I'm pretty sure waiting tables at TGI Friday's is better than being a tanner (but at least tanners aren't/weren't required to be cheerful about it!), but I was telling someone about my ghastly experience as a pseudo-perky/pseudo-American waitress the other day and I ( Read more... ) -

Day One

9.15 Get to work - peppermint. Lovely, soothing... But not caffeine.
10.00 And I'm itching already. I have The Jitters! Normally by this time I ( Read more... ) -
Seems to have been a while...
My last journal entry was in September! Insane. And I only made 4 entries in the whole of 2008. Pretty poor show for someone who wants to write a masterful work of fiction one day (harharhar ( Read more... ) -
The toilet trap
London is rubbish. I hate London. The greatest city in the civilised world is home to the most uncivilised, rude and pushy citizens you'll ever find! Anyway, here is the lead up to this little outburst...
I've yet again fallen into the toilet trap, a conundrum encountered during my trips chez parents (this time for my father's wedding), generally on ( Read more... ) -
