    Oh no :( My nerves got to me a little on my first test and thats when I started making little mistakes, then the big'un! Nerves really do make the bad habits bubble up. Hopefully he'll crack it next time!

    It's already my weekend *scoffs* I've been housebound today for the new telly, but it's OHs birthday tomorrow so I'm going to spend most of the day making his little treats, and maybe start my YT channel. Need to call my Grandparents around as my G-pops is really excited for the 3D telly. He was going to buy himself one but in the shops they have the security wires on the 3D glasses and he thought it meant they had to be plugged into the telly, and he was worried my Nan would trip over them. Bless him! :o Off to the cinema tonight though, to see Rango! And that's as exciting as it gets :D Are you up to anything?!

    Ahhhh how cute is your Grandad?! I love it when old people and technology mix, always makes for a good story!

    I don't think we've got much planned for the weekend, I'm going for Indian with my folks and brother and SIL tonight, tomorrow I might nip to Primark for some smart work clothes as I look like a hobo compared to most of the women in the office, it's clearly a posher office than I first thought! We're staying in tomorrow night watching movies and drinking champagne! Can't wait!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Cinny - Your grandad sounds so sweet, bless him! My grandparents are actually very up to date with technology - I think they know more than me!

    Weekend is only one day this week for me, as I am working tomorrow :(

    Okay I know I'm easily amused but it made me giggle that you're going to Primark to live up to the posh office :D

    I actually went shopping in my local town today. Despite it being my local for 12 years now, I've only been about 4 times, and never to the shops, as the place is a bit bedraggled and scary. In fairness, it was still scary, I was only there for the grant meeting (which went well, although I might not get it as I'm employed) but I found a topshop and got a top/dress.

    Enjoyed being romanced and taken out for dinner this evening, suprised I've managed to stay awake that long though, I'm exhausted.

    We are, but normally she'd be on gmail so I can talk to her without shouting to the other end of the house.

    At least once more my love, now you get on gmail, it seems this mystery shopping lap isnt as...intensive as we thought.

    In fairness it's a big house. I'm downstairs at the front, he's upstairs at the back, he can yell and I don't hear him. So he's taking advantage and playing metal.
