and at the rate I’m blogging Happy New Year and Happy February.
Sorry for the delay, I’ve been rather lazy – actually it’s rather good to take such a break from the internet – no offence!
Before Christmas I wasn’t blogging too much because I became addicted to another computery thing – I became rather efficient at [...]
Kitchen scales – Brother
Pen – Mum
Sweatshirt – Dad
Atlas – Friend
Biscuits – Cleaner
Kat came closest with three correct answers – it would appear people don’t like to think of me giving my brother kitchen scales (he did ask for them). Also I would just like to make it clear that I don’t have my own cleaner [...]
Nefertiki has one correct guess.
Shifty Gnome has two correct guesses.
So who wants to go for five correct pressies?

A Tesco’s supermarket that I frequent less frequently than the one I frequent frequently has a sign up advertising that they are open longer hours up to Christmas.

Ooh, we have decorations – amazingly tacky 80’s style bedecking the ceiling. You’d all be jealous.
Wine.
I won a very nice bottle (at least I have been told it is nice but will be able to confirm or not in the next couple of days).
Going to a meal and then winning wine is just such a bonus.
I know I am doing it, I am being so grumpy with the classes that I do feel guilty. The thing is that I am just too exhausted to do anything else. If I don’t give them any slack and do Christmassy fun stuff (which we’re not actually allowed to do anyway) then they work [...]
