Last minute

A lovely reminder from http://www.dvd.co.uk/ that it isn't too late for me to do my last minute Christmas shopping with them. They suggest I might like to buy:

• A retro wallet
• A total body epilator (yikes)
• A hiking shoe (singular)
• A Winnie the Pooh magic rattle
• A Winmau Blade 4 Bristle Dartboard

So. Much. Choice. Wracked with indecision as I have been since the e-mail arrived, I have finally decided to take up only one of these kind suggestions. It has to be the magic rattle, just in case it's, you know, actual magic. Because that would be brilliant.

Oh dear

I've just booked to see Glee live at the O2 next summer. Have I reached rock bottom?

Calmer now

So yes. I own a flat. So far it is empty other than for the plant and the excellent sandwich/panini maker (which also makes quesadillas, according to the instruction booklet, which = aces) bought for me as a housewarming (literally) gift by Penny, RB, Sal, Sue and Zoe. I am immensely grateful for both gifts, but more so for the sandwich maker, because I am good at keeping electrical goods alive but in general less successful with plantlife.

Today I thought about going and buying some paint, seeing as the whole flat needs decorating. But then I got sidetracked by carpet, and then demoralised by how many different types of carpet there are, so in the end I just bought a kettle.

Plans for the rest of the day include watching England get beaten by the All Blacks and having a chat with my Dad, plus of course watching Strictly, which this week is being brought to me by the letter 'S' (Sue, Sian and El Syd). I have no doubt I will report back with my thoughts.

Responsibility

My solicitor has just called to confirm that I own a flat now. I imagine I will feel excited about that later on today when I get the keys and go in. At the moment, I feel a bit sick.
