Home Sweet Home
Today I am going to Bass Day. I hope to return later with bleeding ears.

What are your plans today?

I am also
rather shocked at myself. It's half past eight on a sunday and I'm awake.

This is the earliest I've woken up since I lost my job.

*is in a strange new world*
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Sun 9 Nov 2008, 8:29, Reply)

Nooooooooooooooo!
I didn't go to bed until 4am. Why am I awake already? The horror, the horror.

This leads me to suggest that my answer to your question, Fuzzy, is not a great deal. But hey, lazy Sundays ftw.
( thealternativefact, Sun 9 Nov 2008, 8:56, Reply)

I didn't get to bed til 4am either
and was woken up at half seven by my mate's adorable two year old. I've had tea, and the sun is shining. Things are good.

Today will be chilling and brainstorming an idea I've had with two-year old's mum. And having a massive joint of pork cooked for me. I think I've landed.

*hands out tea and jammy dodgers*

Morning All
I'm being all family like today.

We are up at mother-in-law's and the rest of the family are coming over for Sunday dinner.

You all sound like you have lovely days planned!
And No3L, I really want an IRL jammy dodger now!

I have a deviant friend asleep on my sofa as I type. I think I might wake him up in a while and repair to the greasy spoon around the corner for a recovery feed :)
( thealternativefact, Sun 9 Nov 2008, 9:08, Reply)

Ah! Sundays.
Just having a cuppa, then a run to the dump with some of the mound of binbags lurking on my balcony, them meeting with the G/F and her daughter for brunch about 11.
After that, the plan is, there is no plan!

Today will be a general chilling out day and getting things done day. Hopefully, I'll catch up on my backlog of unanswered emails and gazzes. May also play some Unreal Tournament.

Gah, I need style assistance
I am looking to get a chest of drawers for my bedroom, and currently have:

A medium colour oak wardrobe,
A pine veneer bedside table,
A black metal framed bed,
A black faux-leather slobbing sofa thing (with matching dark pine table thing)

Any ideas on what colour I should go for to make it not look too out of place?

I'm thinking black frame with white drawer fronts?
(Ethelred is watching cheese grow, Sun 9 Nov 2008, 12:02, Reply)

Ethel,
Nah, don't get something with white on it. You haven't got any white in there. Can't you find something oak coloured, similar to the wardrobe?

Ning, btw - *hugs*
( thealternativefact, Sun 9 Nov 2008, 12:10, Reply)

I was thinking on the same lines as clendrix. Wardrobes and chests of drawes serve similar purposes.

BTW. I'm making some toast, would anyone like some?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Sun 9 Nov 2008, 12:12, Reply)

No thanks, Spak.
I'm waiting for the big, scary b3tan currently asleep in my little house to wake up so I can go for breakfast. Yum!

How are you, my dear? Did your mini-bash with Edmund happen?
( thealternativefact, Sun 9 Nov 2008, 12:17, Reply)

I'm fine thanks.
The bash with Edmund didn't happen in the end. Instead, I went over to a freind's house and helped him out with some DIY. We then went off to watch Burn After Reading which we both enjoyed, and headed off for a pint before my last tube back.

And how are you lovely?

Morning everyone!
I'm feeling a little delicate this morning so have planned a busy day of watching TV in bed!

hello peeps.
Today I am dead.
Peter Stringfellow was on MTV cribs earlier, the remote was broken and I was too hungover to get up and change the channel, so I just sat there weeping for 20minutes. It was so tragic.

Is everyone as delicate as I am this morning?

I was in a shitty mood last night but this morning I have woken up in an awesome mood!!

And I had loads of fun attempting to get my hair to look as good as it did yesterday. :p

@WL: Am feeling OK. Last night involved more film than beer.

@TGB
It's amazing what a good night's sleep can do. For your mind, it was a beauty-sleep, but for your hair, a sort of reverse beauty-sleep.

I was just checking if anything was on TV...

Does anyone know who the blonde woman in the picture at the top left of the page is? (If she even is a real woman) She looks like someone melted Anthea Turner's face on to hers.

It scares me a little bit :(

She looks like a normal person in that link...Sort of.
Maybe it's a bad picture? I can't help thinking she looks like she's an alien and is wearing her human disguise to get on TV.
