Amazon is too easy, with the storing of the credit card and the click here to download your MP3 choices.

Two discs of Faith No More goodness for £7 isn't too bad though, is it?

I deserve a reward. Partly for my hard work, and partly as there is little food in the house that doesn't require intensive cooking, so dinner was Tesco-brand noodles (You know you're poor when SuperNoodles are too pricey:rotfl:) and some Special K as an appetiser.

Tomorrow my friend is coming round though, so it's slow cookered chilli for us. Nom nom nom.

tomtom - that recipe you gave me is a godsend

Too right, you do deserve a reward for all your hard work, as you have done brill so a wee treat is well deserved, enjoy and enjoy your chilli tomorrow.

Gah - no beans for chilli in the house :eek: No time to make bolognaise either so I have made a pastayum treat instead. I'm just about to jump in the shower while the pasta is cooking as I'm getting a lift to work this morning so need to be ready earlier (How odd is that?!)

Yep, that was the bit that got me too....

I don't like Izzy's odds on surviving this series of GA. I think her number's up...

Oh my Gawd, I have finally discovered I am not the only person who watches Grays Anatomy!:j:j Nobody I know watches it and it is my favourite programme and the only thing I can't miss! I will have the tissues at the ready for the series finale tomorrow. Izzy is going to die, George is leaving (he looks so cute with his hair cut)....it will be a right tear jerker

F_F Well done on building the bookcase all on your lonesome. :T When I sold big victorian flat and bought a small modern house I had to sell my collection of 900 books. There is nothing nicer than a full bookcase!

Dramatic post-title I know, but I am very proud...

I HAVE FINALLY BUILT THE BLOODY BOOKCASE, WHICH HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY LIVING ROOM FOR OVER A YEAR!

*grin*

Ha ha ha. Well done! I remember when I had my LBM in Jan and first came on MSE, one of the first posts I read was you and the bookcase Saga! :rotfl:

PS - I hope your Dalek is sitting on top of it, pride of place as a nod to geeks everywhere. Just got the Dr Who DVD with the Turn Left (all time favourite ep- Tate rocks) Stolen Earth and Davros episodes so I am looking forward to that after tennis!

Can I add that I have a nice Harry Potter figure (complete with wand) on my bookcase - another nod to any Potter geeks out there!

Just finished the Deathly Hallows (for the second time) and I getting withdrawal symptoms already - sooooo looking forward to the Half Blood Prince in a couple of weeks....

Yes I admit it, I'm 29 and addicted to Harry Potter.....................and I'm not ashamed!!

Grey's is probably my favourite tv series too - got it series linked on Sky+ so am gutted there are only 2 more episodes to go.....Not quite sure what I'm going to do without it actually! I think I might cry........

I watched the last episode of GA on videostic as once I started to catch up, I had to watch it all - I won't spoil it for you, and I can assure you this is definitely not a giveaway when I say this as there are loads of surprises, all I will say is get a massssssiiiiivvvvveee big box of tissues, you will need it.

FF - glad you got the bookcase out of the way - massive well done as I know it was bugging you. I will now wander off and try to catch up.

I have a picture of me and a Cyberman from the Dr Who exhibition in London last year

Also, a picture of me with one of the stone angels from the "Blink" episode which still scares me.
