Sweet Potato chips are lush. I buy them in Aldi and chuck them in the halogen.

so are these chips ready made? might have to investigate them.

Am watching The Avengers, Age of Ultron. Pretty good.

Think I have been watching too much Big Bang Theory but I could happily develop a Marvel comics interest............well aside from being female I am single and a geek already. Not much of a stretch really!

Oh I love sweet potato chips! I really need to investigate these.

Buffs - sorry to hear about your Aunt - one of the things I asked my parents for a couple of years ago was a few jottings about their lives, where they grew up, their memories of childhood, school, friends, family, how they met and their lives up until they had me. Dad made them into little books for me and Mum did a huge scrap book with old family photos too (which is beyond fab) and there's so much info in there that I'd never have known.

I've asked hubbies parents to do the same for us, they were both very unsure about what to write so I downloaded some questions (can't recall where from) but it has given them a starting point.

I know you can buy books with questions and space to write in and maybe this might be something your Aunt might find helpful and would be a great keepsake for you.

I love all the Marvel movies Buffy, would definitely encourage you to watch the others if you haven't seen them already. My favourite is Guardians of the Galaxy

Living with 3 boys means I've watched ALL of the Marvel movies. It's no hardship though as they are all good. Especially anything with Thor in, yum yum .

Totally agree re Guardians of the Galaxy too.

Freakily enough I bought a book for Christmas that asks all those questions. Gave it to her Christmas day and she say she wouldn't fill it in. She was worried I would mark her work............funny but also hurtful. It is hard cos she says her mum never told her anything and she can't remember etc but won't actually sit and try or think what impact that has on me and my sisters.

We bought that for nephew for Christmas amongst other things (need to budget more for next year). Might make Mum watch it!

I love Thor..........he must be the perfect man. REALLY. I can't think of a single thing wrong with him.

so car insurance renewal time.

current insurers quoted me 1587 for myself and Mum's insurance.

so yeah wasn't paying that. ever.

after about 4 hours of searching and a lot of form filling I got it to

293 for me.
355 for Mum.

total = 648. much better than 1587.

Then i paid off my overspend on the CC - there was a lot on the halifax card (102)- bought new trainers. When I fell I didn't realise but my trainers have split one any way. I have a balance pair which really hurt my ankle so needed a new pair, 28.99 for that and new slippers 9.99 as mine are the flippy floppy type and for the foreseeable I need to support my ankle more so have weird boot things that I am fully sure are naff but might help a bit. Embarrassingly I have had to order incontinence blankets (!!!!!) to cover my bed so if the rabbit wees on there it won't soak through...my life honestly. It is not even funny!!

Yes the rabbits are definitely a problem bless them. woke me up last night cos a piece of food got caught under the litter tray so 3 o clock this morning bang thud bang thud.........



talking of which I really need to go clean out the small furries.

*insert whinge about period pains here*

finish tea.

get up off the sofa.
