    Blimey you lot have been busy yakking!

    Martin's still boring on mine.

    You lot are posh, pumpkins? We had to make do with turnips when I was little.

    I got my essay in, then went into town. I got a duvet set from Yorkshire Linen, it was only £17 and it's lovely, just right for in the living room. Also got a new chopping board, because stupid ex chopped a load of veg on the old one the other week and put it back behind the sink without washing it, so the side next to the wall went all mouldy. Also got some chocolate as a treat for doing the essay. I've not got anything planned for the weekend, I'm just going to chill and read and stuff. I've got a bag of chews for any trick or treaters, there's usually a few and they all make an effort with costumes.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
