Its a Bit Bland

Where are all the bells and whistles? At least you have a background which resembles a Victorian wallpaper design. Not bad for a starter but needs some improvement little big sister.

Where did all that snow go?

Howdy y'all. You'd think I'd be assured of a white christmas living in Canada - but no - i't bloody raning, I swear it rains more here than in the UK. Christmas in canada is much like Christmas in the UK except they have mashed potatoes NOT roasties - how wrong is that!!!! Well not in our house, we are having Roast Potatoes (done the Delia way mind) and Mark can just damn well enjoy them. Speaking of cooking I hope my turkey is almost defrosted I think I'm going to have to cook it tomorrow, there's no way I can do it and veggies all at the same time - there's just no room!!! That's enough ranting for no, better go, puppy to deal with, coffee to drink and work to go to. Talk to y'all later.

I did sommit stupid

Last night i had a shower, and afterwards a massive buzzing sound was coming from the bathroom. i couldnt figure out what it was, i seemed to be coming from behind the tiles?! i turned the shower on and off again thinking it was - not sure just tried it. then i ended up switching off the mains switch in the flat just incase it was the shower components behind the tiles. nope still there.

I started to go around the bathroom trying to find out what the sound was - then i found it

It was my gillette razor - the one that vibrates - it had fallen and got stuck switching itself on in the process - it was leaning against the wall and the sound was amplified due to the pipes and wall.

so i switched it off and all was peaceful.

this lasted about an hour (off and on - not constant) very funny - but you had to be there.

Morning Peeps

How are we all today then? How were your weekends?

Mine was pretty good, just went xmas shopping in Exeter on Saturday which was as hellish as you can imagine.

On Sunday I went up to London for the day because we had got free tickets for a private screening of Narnia in Leicester Sq! After the private screening we were taken over to Somerset House by an old Routemaster bus where we had lots of free food and drink at a private party that overlooked the Thames followed by a spot of outdoor ice skating! Great!

So i'm sat at my desk today half asleep and did rubbish on the quiz today! Boo!

Saturday morning went to gym at 8 in morning then went and watched the boys play footie. Came back and watched the Liverpool game with Dave Clarke and tosh. We then played halo for a couple of hours. In the evening we watched episodes 5-9 of lost season 2. Then i went to bed and watched the Grudge (which is pants).

Tosh and Yvette went to her parents for tea, so i played Halo with Sparks till about 10. Then watched tv and fell asleep. I did not get ok of my PJ's at all on sunday.

Morning

Well the blog started out busy this week but has gone a bit quiet now. Bit like my week at work...yesterday was good, there were various football matches to raise money for World Aids Day, the lads in my office were playing so I was allowed to go and watch for about 3 hours but they lost to some students in the end!!

How are we all then? Any goss to brighten up my day?

I overslept today so i'm still not quite with it. I went to the cinema last night, i've started doing that Orange 241 thing for tickets. I went to see Flight Plan which was ok, went to see The Constant Gardener last week which was also ok. I managed to spend the same amount on pick and mix and a drink as I did on the film tickets.

Am liking my score on the quiz today though I imagine Tosh is going to try and beat me - i'm going to make it my aim to beat him this month!!
