• Bored

  February 3, 2014

  I am so bored of work. Every day I do exactly the same thing. Raise purchase orders, book hotels, book flights, consolidate credit card statements, transfer phone calls. Is this really what life is all about, is this how I should be spending 70% of my waking time? This isn't living, I'm only doin...

• End of an era

  January 26, 2014

  So I suppose I should jump on the bandwagon and mourn the loss of Open Diary. To be honest, I gave up on it months ago. I was still cross posting over here since I signed up to Prosebox in the vain hope that it might return, but I suppose it was only a matter…

• New windows

  January 23, 2014

  I've spent the last two days ensconsed in a single room in our house, with no heating save from a small oil filled electric radiator with me covered in blankets. Seeing as though there are workmen traipsing in and out of the house, up and down the stairs with the front door wide open and…

• Fun and Stuff

  January 17, 2014

  We're off to Amsterdam in March! My friends from Loughborough are going for Sophie's 30th birthday and we were invited to join them. It's a long weekend Friday-Monday and we booked it the other day; £244 each for flights and three nights in a city centre hotel which isn't bad. I can't wait, I've ...

  Week one of my gradual switch to vegetarianism and I ate meat for six meals out of 21 (three meals a day for seven days). This might sound like a lot but we normally have meat for about 16 meals a week (every lunch and dinner plus bacon sandwiches for breakfast on weekends) so I…

• 2014 aims

  January 4, 2014

  It's only January 5th but I'm quite pleased with my 2014 aims already. Staying dry for January One weekend passed and not a single drop of alcohol passed my lips. I was quite tempted as we got loads of alchohol for Christmas; I alone received a bottle of Southern Comfort, bottle of vodka and abou...

• December update

  December 31, 2013

  I didn't write for the entire month of December and I've probably forgotten a lot of stuff that went on, so here's what I can remember. On 6th December me and Jay took a day trip to London because we booked cheap train tickets in advance, I think we paid about £15 for a return;…

• Everyday

  November 30, 2013

  There's a Slade song on a TV advert at the moment called Everyday and I've become a wee bit obsessed with it. I think Slade are underrated these days, they have some great songs and were very successful in the 70s, although seem to have fallen off the rader while other classic bands have stayed&h...

• Weekend

  November 23, 2013

  On Friday me and Jay went to the German Christmas market in Birmigham, as we do every year for his birtday. We looked at the stalls and decided that everything is far too expensive and we could get them cheaper online, so I just used it for window shopping for Christmas presents and made a…
