Everybody's going to love today

Last night I came skipping up the stairs singing Mika's 'Love Today', which Matt hates. He pulled a face.

"Go on, admit you love me," I said.
"Yes, for some strage reason," he replied
"How rude. I think you'll find you love me for lots of strange reasons!"

On the war path!


I went to a really interesting meeting at the Gregson Centre. There are plans for a huge new development in Lancaster which we don't need and most of the residents don't want. Lancaster is a beautiful historic city with gorgeous buildings and a market tradition. The best thing about Lancaster is how unique it is. There are loads of little independent shops and cute little streets. Now, Centros Miller want to build a huge shopping centre that will look the same as all the other ugly 'malls' that they are putting up in other towns and cities. All this so they can stick a huge Debenhams here! There are quite a few empty shops already in Lancaster that could be easily used without knocking things down and building a whole new complex.


Worse still, Centros Miller are planning on only submitting hybrid plans, meaning they can still change some things without warning after planning permission has been given. Planning permission has not yet been given. So, if you think that it is a shame to knock down lovely historic buildings, increase traffic in the area and risk having a concrete monstrosity ruin lovely Lancaster, please have a look here to see how you can help and to find out more info.

Frozen Bagel Finger

It's a sad day today. It's the anniversary of the day I drunkenly sliced into my finger whilst trying to cut a frozen bagel. I still have a big scar on my finger and no feeling in part of it.

In happier news, that means I've now not smoked for 1 year and 5 months. Hoooray. Hence, I'm quite looking forward to the smoking ban. It should also mean that I have more money, however, I'm still waiting for my student loan to come through so I'm poorer than the flea that lives on the church mouse's bedding. To make matters worse, I'm not drunk. Maybe I could sell my share of 'the brain' to fund a night on the town. Any takers?

Dragon ahoy!


I'm in week three of my four weeks of holiday and I am love love loving it! It's so sunny. I just wish I didn't have so much work to do.

I've been doing all kinds of exciting things. Last week I went out with my sister and her two lovely kiddies. I joke about spending time with them saving me saying my Hail Marys, but I had an ace time. Our hot topics of conversation were whose hands look older, whose knuckles are fatter and the price of dishwasher tablets, yet I still had lots of fun!

I tried dragon fruit yesterday. The texture was a bit like kiwi fruit but it didn't really taste of much. It was kind of what I imagine your puke would taste like if you'd eaten nothing but melon and kiwi fruits for a year. I don't think I'd buy one again as, at £1.99 a pop, I'd rather have some kettle chips.
