Day 334.

It's the 1st of December, so that' means the 'student' tree goes up and I can finally start feeling like it's Christmas, I'm fulling embracing the childish excitement I should be feeling. I've already watched A Muppet's Christmas Carol tonight. I want to to watch it at least 5 times before Christmas, it's my absolute favourite Christmas film - it's One Show Giles' too :).

Day 296.

I am so tired from the past three days, I'm massively procrastinating this evening too. So much to do!!!

Day 289.

I made a delicious cake this afternoon, it tastes like a chocolate orange, it's meant to be a spiderweb cake, and I found the recipe in Asda's free magazine but, I didn't do the icing very well so it just glooped all down the cake. But at least it tastes good. Nom. ♥

Day 288.

I have been here all day, thinking about my sore stomach and watching rubbish TV. I did manage to get through a chapter in one of my dissertation books though.

Day 242.

So the medicine I mentioned last week didn't work, I went to the doctor again this morning, and it turns out there is actually something wrong with me, I have some kind of throat virus. I've been given an inhaler, I don't know how to use it properly, I've had two doses and I'm still not sure. I think it has something to do with not smoking.
I also got my hair cut, it looked pretty nice, but is now very flat, yes I'm talking about hair and how I'm not pleased with it right now. It will look shit-hot tomorrow though.

Day 238.

If it wasn't August, and I was wearing a scarf and boots, this would be the perfect autumn/winter outfit. I'm very happy with it, I just wish it wasn't the appropriate weather for it today. My mum took my sister for dim sum this morning, I was so full, I had to have a little sleep. Check out my sweet horse cardigan ♥

Day 100.

Nothing special for today as nothing special happened.
If it's 'Day 100' today it means that today is the 103rd day of the year, and that's weird, not quite a third through yet though.
I spent a lot of today looking at potential new cameras - now that my loan's in, but I did manage to finish my dissertation proposal, it's not brilliant, but I think I'll pass, few adjustments to be made but it's basically finished.
I think I should get out in the sunshine tomorrow.

Day 88.

Today I had a stomach virus, I am slightly more over it now, I took this photo, it is not very good, but I was dying for most of today.

This is my sister, not me, I was considering me, but I was too ill when it would have made a point to be bothered, that sofa is where I lived today. I am now a day behind on work I should have been doing, but I did watch Hotel Rwanda, which has some loose relevance to what I'm looking at... maybe, the Congo and Liberia are both countries in Africa.

Day 86.

Thought I'd Photobooth myself, because nothing else was accomplished today, despite the fact that I thought I'd get my Practical Proposal out of the way today. I think I'll do it tomorrow because I won't have my sister at home 'being ill' to distract me. I think I'll even try and get up early tomorrow too.

Day 42.

Finally got around to playing the Take Me Out drinking game tonight, it's ridiculous, had I been on something stronger, I probably would have had another gin situation on my hands, luckily, I am too much looking forward to tomorrow and what's going on, so I wasn't up for being drunk. It makes me sad that it's the last episode next week, shows like Take Me Out should be continuous. Luckily, ITV player provides at least enough material to play for another 3 nights.

Day 29.

I have spent the majority of today on the sofa, not because I was feeling particularly hungover from last night or anything, just because I was feeling overwhelmingly lazy. I have roasted my first beef this evening though, it should be delicious.
It's lovely to sit of the sofa and watch T4 all afternoon anyway, particularly when it's freezing in every other part of the house and there is a fire in the lounge. Don't really know how I lived in the house last year.
