I just took my parents and my sister to a topical political comedy show that featured a naked man and Michale Jackson jokes my Mum didn't understand. *is dead* *from laughing ( Read more... )

I failed my driving test LIKE WOAH! I mean, really, really badly. It was like I'd had about two lessons. I'm going to have to take beta blockers or something next time, because whenever I saw a car coming towards me on a narrow road or a pedestrian anywhere near the car or a pigeon or something I nearly jumped out of my skin. Mind you, I think I ( Read more... )

So. I'm gonna put the sad, pathetic, tragic bit first, so you'll all feel sorry for me, and save the best bit till the end.

It's my driving test tomorrow, and I had my final lesson today. I will fail my test, I'm pretty sure of that. For some reason, every time I think everything's going fine, I do something stupid and fuck it up. And now that's ( Read more... )

Back from my weekend in my new house. General sorting out, desperately trying to find replacements for the vile curtains in my room, opening a can of tomatoes with a hacksaw and a bottle opener and a pair of pliars because we hadn't bought a tin-opener, that sort of thing. I went to Wilkinsons three times on Saturday, which took up most of the day ( Read more... )

I MOVED HOUSE!

*does a happy dance*

And it only took 12 hours of driving about all over London and loading and unloading vans full of furniature and assorted crap. Fortunately new flatmate doesn't have as much stuff as I do and the house is bigger than I remembered it, so everything fits. Pretty much. Except the bed frame, which wouldn't go up the ( Read more... )

So. I clearly suck at moving house. Even though this will be the fifth time I've done it. The main problem now is that unlike people who do normal jobs, I have to take a lifesize mannequin and six boxes of fabric and two different sewing machines and a fuck-off roll of paper and patterns and research books everywhere I go. Plus I have too many ( Read more... )

Very exciting news today! Our local MP has had to resign and has been de-selected as a candidate for the election! Bascially, Tory MP and Deputy Party Chairman Howard Flight told other MPs at a meeting that the Tories were actually lying about their election pledges and would be making a load of cuts in public spending. He thought this was ( Read more... )

OMG I HAVE A HOUSE!

The landlord finally got my credit reference *glares at bank* and everything's fine and I'm moving back to London on Tuesday!

Which means I have to spend the Bank Holiday weekend packing. And filling out that job application form. Why am I moving house and job and everything all at the same time? Stupid girl.

My day in numbers.

• 3000 - cost in pounds sterling of the tulle ballgown skirt I made and then nearly melted.
• 500+VAT - cost in pounds sterling of item I have just won from Ebay if purchased new
• 241 - cost in pounds sterling of item I have won from Ebay! (note - I think there's only one person on my friendslist who would be remotely impressed with ( Read more... )

Did anyone else see The Government Inspector on Channel 4 tonight?

If not, why the hell not?

All UK TV should be this good. Let's have less crappy DIY/house/garden makeover shows (There were nine on during the day on Monday. NINE! and that's just on terrestrial TV) and more thought-provoking, well made dramas like this. Please? It's not asking for ( Read more... )
