The weekend.

At the weekend I made a shopping list ready to go shopping. Then I opened my post. In it was a letter that made me very cross. I rang up the people who could help me sort out the reason I was cross. They helped me mostly sort it, but there is bit that can't be sorted. I then rang up my dad to tell him I was cross. This all meant that I left later for the shop, which meant I caught the beginning of the school traffic that I was planning on avoiding. This made me a little bit crosser. I had to deliver some important things to someone on my way, so I did that, and they chatted at me for a little while. I then went and payed some cheques into my bank because I had had them a little while and my account was crying out for the money. By the time I got to the shop I was running late, tired, hungry and still a bit cross. This meant that everything on the list got bought, but so did several other things as well. Like the cinnamon roll I ate on the way home from the shop. And the beer I drunk when I got home. And the random snack type things that I didn't need at all but still ate that evening. And the pot of herbs that may or may not grow and may or may not be of any use if they do grow. And all of this I blame on the letter that made me cross. It is also the letters fault that no tidying or dusting or hoovering got done over the weekend. And it is the letters fault that no essay plan got written, or studying got done over the weekend. Silly letter.

This weekend

These are the things I need to do this weekend. I am writing this as a reminder to myself. It will not be of great interest to people reading, but I keep forgetting what I need to do and so thought I would write it down. I have not written it on a piece of paper because when I do that I put the piece of paper down and forget where I have put it.

Eggheads

The Retrosexuals need to apply to this. They would be much better than most of the teams on there. And they could win some monies. Apply boys. Go on.

Tea

For my tea tonight I had a chicken, tomato and muchroom omelet. I always feel there is something a little bit wrong about eating chicken and egg together.

Thread

I currently have my mum's old sewing threads sat on my table. Looking at them I realise that some of them are catorgerised by number and others by colour. The ones that are catorgrised by colour are called Filbert, Dark Elephant, Venetian Red, Old Rose and Gay Kingfisher. They are quite old sewing threads.

More playdough

When I got to work this morning the playdough turned out to be brown. Either the playdough elves had been working on it overnight, or I was looking at it strangely yesterday. The event that required the playdough also went really well, which is good because it had the potential to really not go well.

Playdough

Tomorrow I need some brown playdough. I don't have brown playdough, nor have I recently seen any for sale. I do however have several other colours of playdough. So I thought I would mix my own brown. No matter what colours I seemed to add to the mix, all I could make was a strange greyish-pink. I don't really understand this. Maybe I need to return to the colour wheel.

Pinch and a punch for the first of the month

and no returns.
