    Can't sustain myself on my tomato plants - they're only the size of my thumb. Will try not to panic on the possibility of starving to death due to lack of tomatoes.

    Right have to go and practice my guitar. Going to babysit neice at 5.30pm. Will have to let her beat me at some things on Wii!!

    Kat - have found tea caddy and trapped it in a sealed envelope which I nailed shut!

    Well didn't quite make it to 6 o'clock before opening the wine but feel that, under the circumstances, 4.30 was fairly respectable.

    So am currently sat here, vegging on the sofa, quaffing said wine and watching re-runs of Come Dine with Me. Would LOVE to be on that.

    I have had a lovely day. Been to get some seeds wandered round garden centre and have sunned meselg in the garden. Listening to some choones. Got me burgers and pink fizz on the go and I am counting my blessings.

    We had planned the holiday of a lifetime to florida on the 12/09 and we had to cancel in the end but the airline made us check in four times.

    There is no way on earth I am putting the sky on due to Pint's bodge job on the aerial.

    Also, is it ok to use sausages a couple of days out of date if they smell fine?

    Well done :) I can't wait to see it. :j

    I've just been registering a starbucks card I got given, in the hope it will lead to more special offers. I love their coffee but it isn't cheap :( Still, as an occasional treat it is OK.

    I've also been excitedly updating my christmas spreadsheet with my £1 brand new book from the charity shop today. Is it bad to be excited by that?

    I then made myself a bit more sad by realising that I ought to be also tracking the cost of other pressies too, not just christmas. Otherwise my pressie budgeting is not realistic :( Have put approx cost of nappy cake in spreadsheet.
