Did someone say Beetlejuice?

I am a woman on the brink of a crisis. I am out of Toblerone and chocolate orange and anything that doesn't resemble really cheap novelty shaped chocolate or the slimey stuff which contains imitation liquid alcohol.

Have tackled the tardis which lurks under the stairs. Shoved a dozen pairs of outgrown shoes into a bag for recycling, cleared two bin bags of total and utter carp into the wheelie bin, then climbed into the bin to play wheelie bin trampoline. No fines for me for leaving the top wedged open. Can now get one of the two vacs into the cupboard and even more amazingly can open the door without fear of being impaled by some random object liberated from within.

Now decluttering a Marian Keyes novel by the name of Angels.

Could you melt down the sh*t chocolate and make tastier things?

Spotted the sun briefly yesterday. It ventured out long enough to melt the snow then disappeared again. Roads are now more frozen than they have been for weeks. Will be leaving for work early again to take the long way involving the slightly steep hills instead of those with a 1:12 gradient.

Got 3/4 of the way through Angels yesterday, batch cooked lots of spicy mince so had enchilladas for dinner last night, will have some for dinner tonight and will freeze another 5 portions.

Going to collect some stuff for school from a playgroup thats downsizing. Also need to clear up the mess the builders will have left in the corridors and will need to clear and grit paths and carparks. No chance of having it all done in time to be at playgroup by 9:15 as planned.

Still need to venture as far as Lidl or Aldi for bread and cat food amonst other bits. Won't need washing powder as I found a box lurking at the back of the tardis under the stairs. Also found 5kg of cat litter so won't need to buy that for several months either, only ever use it when cat is confined to barracks for fighting or chinchilla needs cleaning out.

Recieved an exciting e-mail from Qype. If I write another 28 50+ word reviews in February I'll get a free £25 spa voucher for use at wahanda associated spas since there isn't one near me does any one else want the donkey work and the glory?

Check out the price list at the spa though. At the nearest one to me £25 would be enough to get my chin and top lip waxed. Ooooh lucky lucky me. Alternative delights include a 25 minute foot scrub with Mr Pummice or maintenance infils for eyes whatever they are. I thought spas were meant to be fun. This one reads like a list of tortures from an 18th century horror.
