Boxes

Tuesday, March 29th, 2005

There’s an episode in the WestWing, season 3 where Donna is sorting through boxes, she had a plan, she’d organised all the documents into boxes, and before that the documents had been organised by event and then again by date, and then filed into the boxes. Donna had a plan, she had a list, […]

Cure All

Sunday, March 27th, 2005

There’s very little that the application of eye-liner, a lot of glitter, the wearing of very high heels, the consumption of a bacardi and diet coke or two and a damn good bass line can’t cure. Clubbing on a Sunday, it seems so strange and yet such a good plan…
Drinking: bacardi and diet coke
Thankful […]

Run rabbit run!

Sunday, March 27th, 2005

Sometimes it’s necessary to support your friends when they do crazy things, especially when that support can be given from the comfort of your own chair. My ex-housemate Clare has, for whatever reason (I suspect that tequila was involved some where along the line), agreed to take part in the Great Manchester Run. […]

Uurrrgh

Saturday, March 26th, 2005

I’m hung over - does anybody want to make me some toast? Tell me where I left my brain? Invent something to prevent drunken texting? Explain who the crumpled up, plain, white t-shirt, I found on my floor belongs to? Really, I should just never be allowed to leave the house […]

Reality Check

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005

I’m terrible at forward planning. It’s almost impossible to think more than 12 hours in advance, never mind 24 hours, 48 hours or days or weeks. A social plan made more than a day ahead of time is almost unheard of. Everything is done at the last minute, in a see-what-turns-up-sort-of-way and […]

Spinning Around

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005

When the power goes down for two hours, in the middle of the afternoon, there�s not much else to do apart from swing around on the office chairs, catching up on the gossip; which is exactly what Office Buddy H and I did *all* afternoon (her boyfriend has a new job and her mother really […]

How perceptive

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005

Quote of the week:
�Mmmmm, I can see how, if you were an old lady, you could just drink gin all day and end up going �where are my cats�?�
Matt on being introduced to the delight that is a gin and tonic.

Grrrrr - O2 are currently delivering txt msgs with a 12-48hour delay. If for some reason you need to get hold of me, you know to spend time in my wonderous presence or lambast me for not replying to the msg you sent me three days ago - call me for an instantanious response […]

Political outrage

Thursday, March 17th, 2005

Like the good, alcoholic, political geek that I am, yesterday, while eating my salad, and watching the Budget, I was outraged to discover that there was going to be an extra 4p on a bottle of wine! A whole four pence, although nothing on sparkling wine or spirits - so that’ll be a bicardi […]
