Is it a little sad that it’s 5pm on New Years Eve and I have absolutely no plans whatsoever?
Usually, NYE is a big thing for me, and it’s planned well in advance with all my mates. This year, however, everyone’s been really lax and non-committal, and nothing’s been sorted.
So, I’ll be spending the evening in my flat with the girlfriend, watching DVDs and probably in bed by 12.05....
Is it 2009 yet? →
It’s always weird when I come across Tumblrs names at work… I get all like… “Oh my… that is the same name as “whoever” on Tumblr”….
I have no life….

I’m so sad and incredibly ridiculous that this makes me feel giddy in an incredibly ridiculous way. I guess I just think about how there are some children who will see this and they’ll get madly excited… and that gets me ridiculously giddy as well…..

HB is working and it’s cold and I’m home alone and I have presents still to buy and I cannot for the life of me summon up the inclination to go into the city and shop. Because of all the traffic going into the Mall and blocking the roundabouts this morning it took me 25 minutes to drop HB off at work and I am fucked if I’m going through that again.
SSX3 it is then…..
It's Movie Night

Just watched The Wackness, which was unexpectedly one of the best, most heartbreaking movies I have watched this year.
Next up, going old school with War Games.
It makes me sad that my daughter and I didn’t get to see The Wackness this year.
Oooooooooooh last minute Christmas Present…. must try to get it tomorrow… thanks Soup!!!
My tumblr is crap at the moment, I apologize

Why isn’t there a cookery website that I can type in the words “I have two massive thick rump steaks and have no clue what to do with them” and it gave me ideas.
Whenever I cook steaks on my George Foreman they dry out and these fuckers are over an inch thick and I don’t want to ruin them.
Don’t need a website when delicraig is around, coat both sides of your steak with...

Since starting my new job back in June, I’ve had to write a much larger volume of emails than I’m used to. It’s been six solid months and here are the various ways I end emails and what they mean.
Thanks. - If I’m feeling a little nonplussed, I’ll end it with a period. I’d rather not thank them for being a butthead, but I need some passive aggressive way to act out. Thanks - There is no...
Do you hear what I hear....
I’m working late and the car park at my office is being used as a practice ground for the Pipes and Drums of some marching band. Currently listening to Auld Lang Syne….
As the daughter of, a now dead, Scotsman I have tingles whilst I type.

Driving my daughter to work....
HB: Just think Mum... when I've passed my test you won't have to get up at stupid o'clock to bring me to work
Me: I know...
Me: *shouts* Get off your f**cking phone and pay attention to the lights you knob jockey!!!I
Me: I'm looking forward to actually having a lie in at the weekend...
HB: Actually Mum... promise me you'll still drive me to work... it's so entertaining.
My entirely poor excuse for a Facebook page has seen more action in the last few days (since uploading pictures from the work Christmas Party) than it has seen in the whole time I’ve had it.
That or the new "Like" function.

So, I think we can all agree that 2008 was a big year for the internet in general— both good and bad. From Obama to Lori Drew to iPhone (and iPhone app) mania, this was a year that changed the way most of us look at, interact with, and relate to the online world. My question to you is: What do you think was the single biggest internet-related event of 2008?...
How did the Christmas Party go then?

Her: Um, It was ok Her: I got so drunk. Her: I ended up running out crying, walking across the car park, and arriving at a hedge. Her: People were watching Her: I HAD to scale the hedge Her: But I didnt stop there, I ended up sitting on the central reservation of the dual carriageway Me: Im so proud of you. You flew the flag! Me: People were expecting entertainment, and YOU gave it...
Is it wrong that I ate my two slices of Jamaica Ginger Cake whilst I was waiting for my soup to warm?
Additionally… and on a more technical note… obviously as I haven’t had any Jamaica Ginger Cake for dessert it follows, therefore, that two more slices is totally acceptable… no?
For Caz..

Witney tomorrow, Oxford (Centre) and then back in Burford again.
Abingdon I visit often too, and love Oxfordshire in general. The market towns are great. I love picking up local produce on my travels when I have time. Its somewhere I would really like to live, perhaps North where its slightly cheaper though! A friend of mine sold her one bedroom flat down where I live (just outside...

I better not get lucky this weekend because some poor bastsard will be real disappointed if I do….
I had my very first experience of what can only be described as insubordination from a member of my team today and I have absolutely no idea how to deal with it….

Whilst unpacking the shopping....
HB: We waste so much food.
HB: Look at the date on these... they have to be eaten by the 3rd...
Me: Pass them here then....
HB: I don't like Battenbergs....
