FIRST HOT CHOCOLATE OF THE YEAR ! YAY !
Oh man, what a lovely day it is today, maybe even a lovely week; it has been so far.

I went to Pret for lunch today and got a 'Swedish Meatball Ragu' 'hot wrap', bloomin' 'eck that is one over priced sandwich, not even that nice, deffo not value for money.

What's new in the world of You today? Tonight I'm gonna make a start on watching Fringe.

Our wedding list is almost ready
We've been just trying it out, and it's brilliant! Made by a friend, so it's exactly as we want it.

I finally gave up and made my shopping online. I rather pay the £3.50 than having to survive another month on the crappy food from Sainsbury's at the train station. That is really over priced food.

I'll be getting my shopping between 7 and 9. I'm very excited.

Wow, I've never done this delivery shopping. There isn't much point for me as I live near so many supermarkets in walking distance.
*wedding excites* What do you mean by list? The guest list? am I on it? I should be on it.
(, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 12:37, Reply)
I was the same
But now I have 1h time at home before having to go to bed, so I'm not walking anywhere that is not half a minute from the station. Therefore, I decided to shop online.

The fact that I can't see the reduced to clear and the biscuits section made my shopping extra cheap, so I don't mind paying the delivery. And I don't need to carry the bags home.

The list is the wedding list (for the presents). Are you sure you want an invite?

Both Mark and I have houses full of stuff
and are going to move out and rent them, without having another place to put them, so we are going for "inmaterial" things; which means, we're asking people to give us pieces of the honeymoon as a present. You want me to see the Nazca lines? That's $100; Yo want me to do a 4day tour in the Salar in Bolivia? That's $80 and so on.

We're going to split the very expensive bits
so they can be bought by several people. Then, at the end there'll be a "spending money" box, where people can put what they want.

We'll put hotels, buses and all that stuff on the list too, so I think we should be fine.

For university
They encourage use of props when teaching Welsh as a second language. He is just a glove puppet of which I have two quite similar. I have another on order that has more points of articulation as you can move his arms and legs. I think I only need one but very quickly found loads of cool ones.
