    CHIPS!

    Always chips....couscous is evil.

    Just managed to get DD2 some new jeans for £2 - if they fit then she can get rid of her ankle swingers :j

  • What's it about?

    Workmate has just got chips from the canteen for lunch and I'm trying really hard not to follow suit but they are sooo much more appealing than couscous!

    It's basically a summary of what I'm writing in my dissertation, which is about the claims from religious groups that Harry Potter is converting children to witchcraft and what they mean when they say 'witchcraft'. It's actually pretty interesting, it's just never than fun when I leave things until the last minute. You'd be amazed how many other things I've come up with that I think need doing instead. :D

    As far as food and drink goes I am thinking 'b*gger it' for this weekend, and then I must eat more sensibly and get the running sorted out, I'm about a stone over my 'happy weight' and half a stone over my 'not great but acceptable (to me)' weight :eek:

    That does sound really interesting! But, er, you're probably better off doing it yourself ;) Hmm remember that well from essay writing days, is your house spotless? :rotfl:

    Afternoon all :)

    Had 11 hours sleep then got up full of beans and went Oxford St for some shopping - got a whole outfit:
    bra and knickers, dress, tights, shoes, bag and bracelet for £27 :D

    And two cds to bop too in my room ;)

    Been out for a nice run and now enjoying some coffee and relaxing for a few hours :)

    Red/Pooky - I LOVE couscous - much prefer it to chips - I think there's something wrong with me :p
