The power's blown on the ground floor.
Had a look in the fuse box but it's too dark to see.

It's sorted
Annoyingly the upstairs and downstairs hall lights are blown out. It's dark in the hall and it's too dark to change the lightbulbs NOW. Niiiightmare. How's Leeds?

I don't have a torch.
I'm so so so bored. And trying to work out what I want to get my dad for Christmas. Thinking of getting my mum a scarf and some cute Russian doll notepapers, for her students. Last year I got him some lovely shaving cream. WHAT TO GET THIS YEAR?!

I buy my dad a joke present
and generally a really decent bottle of wine. Luckily his Tokay is already bought, and I've got a small joke gift as well.

Still so pissed off about my mum's present though

I know, it's such a shame :(
It was a lovely hat. I can't get my dad booze, he's tee-total.

got dad a subscription to Private Eye
a couple of years back. Does he like that?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 20:50, Reply)

Hmm, that could be an idea
He likes jazz and good coffee. Might be able to do something with the latter.

Blue Mountain?

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 20:57, Reply)

Not heard of that before, I'm just having a look at the website.
I've just ended up spending 44£ more than I needed to on the Urban Outfitters website for the purpose of free delivery. Well, I wanted that bag. I need a new large one. I'm dreadful.

It's quite expensive though

I do like Urban Outfitters :) is it a nice bag?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 21:05, Reply)

It's really big
Canvas, with chain handles, and lots of zips. I've had my eyes on it for a while and it was half price.

I love my dad, though. And I've spent £30 on both my mum and sister, so feel I need a nice present for him.

How have you been?
Feeling ok?
( girlinthehole, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 21:13, Reply)

I'm feeling a little delicate
and a bit subdued, but I'm not bad. Are you recovered?
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 21:22, Reply)

Yeah! just got a cold.
I'll be ok.

Looking forward to Christmas?
( girlinthehole, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 21:26, Reply)

Not really.
Not really looking to much to be perfectly honest. I can literally feel myself getting iller by the minute. I'm meant to be out tomorrow and I'm not sure if I can muster the enthusiasm.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 21:28, Reply)

Sounds good :)
coffee and Private Eye perhaps?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 21:18, Reply)

If only I had a few thousand pounds
then I'd get him a signed Ronald Searle lithograph.

that would be lovely

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 21:24, Reply)

Yeah
either that or Tomi Ungerer. No Kiss For Mother is one of his favourite books- he already has a copy so I can't get him that.
