I forgot to mention that last night I bought some wool and a pattern and am now in the process of knitting a cushion cover. It sounds a little artsy-craftsy but trust me it will look cool. I've done 15 rows and that's after ripping out my first four because I forgot how to knit and I had been doing a stitch that was a cross between a knit and a purl!

Dream Catch Me

I have a whole weekend of freedom! I really probably shouldn't but I never get anything done at the weekend anyway and we have a staff day on Monday, so I can do Tuesday's work on Monday night. So, a guilt-free weekend of fun! I've already started it off well by going out to Springsteens tonight. Where we took random black-and-white photographs. I can't put them up here because I left my camera lead somewhere else!

THE EXTENT OF MY WEEKNIGHT SOCIAL LIFE...

This is one of those rare occasions where I have time to actually go out of the house and go to the library to use the internet! Last night I got to Tesco so I'm beginnning to think I'm much more relaxed than I was a month ago. I've just finished Friends series 4 so I'm stuck for something to watch while having my dinner - oh dear well maybe I'll be able to concentrate better on my food...

My weeknight social life consists of trips to the garage and tesco, sending emails and texts...that's about it really at the moment!

Hope you're all well and don't all object to my 'seductive' tea drinking post!

Old Pictures

I found a couple of pictures of me on people's Facebook profiles so I just thought I'd post them up here. A bit vain I know. But maybe not because the 80s attire I wore to Sarah's hen night isn't all that flattering!

















I Love Tea!














Sarah is embarrassed by the childhood photos all around her friend's kitchen...maybe!













A picture of a person taking a picture of a person taking a picture of a person taking a picture of a person taking a picture... you could go on!

I also act my age! How flukey is that! Note to Dermo: am therefore obviously not immature.

You Are 22 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Well, whaddyaknow? I actually couldn't have fixed this - it was one of those random choose the picture that appeals to you most kind of quizzes!

What Happened the Year You Were Born?

~Wedding Bells~

Yesterday I was at Louise and Stephen's wedding! It was a lovely day, they didn't get any rain and everybody looked stunning! I really enjoyed being there and spent most of the evening up on the dance floor. Unfortunately I brought with me a camera with a dead battery and so I don't have any photos but I'll hopefully get some off somebody else. (Note to self: don't do this again - always remember camera and always charge up the battery.)

While I had a lovely day, it was also a momentus and scary occasion in two ways. First of all, Louise is the first of my childhood friends to get married. Not the first of my peers, but if you take for example Rachel and Statto, I've only really been friendly with Rachel for about 4 or 5 years. I've known Louise at least since we were about 3 if not in creche before that!!! And now she's married! The second reason I was talking with Tim about yesterday was that she is the first of our age group in Campaigners also to get married. I wonder who will be next??? Watch this space (and no that doesn't mean it's going to be me, I just mean I'll post about whoever is next!)
