Well, I finished the bloody assignment. At 3.30am! It's utter crap once again, but should be enough to pass (I hope)

As you will see from the addition of my '100 pieces of useless information' over here on the right, it took me a while to get back into 'assignment mode' once I got back from my 8yo nieces' birthday dinner. She got some cool presents, with the most popular being the Hula Hoop my other niece bought her. Gotta love the Hula Hoop - even I had a play! Some days I wish I could be 8 again, don't you?

Now that I've finished my assignment, and have almost recovered from my cold, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do with myself today. I really need to do some housework, Jet & Merlin have shed enough fur this week for me to be able to knit a decent sized scarf. That's if I could knit of course.

Like Dida, I'm in the market for a new phone. Anyone who knows me would wonder why I would bother, as I rarely answer the damn thing. I just want a new one just because I can. Speaking of mobile phones, I came across this story about a car thief with a concience. So, crooks are human after all? Well, bugger me! Just when my faith in humanity was restored somewhat, I came across this story about one of the Sydney Gang Rapists losing two of his appeals. Good to see justice does prevail sometimes. A slow, painful death is too good for people like him.

Did I tell you I bought some FM boots the other day? They aren't exactly what I want, but they will do until I find the very thing. They only came in full sizes though & I'm a 9.5 (bigfoot). I spent half an hour swapping between the 9 & the 10 trying to decide whether to get the ones that felt a bit snug and hope they stretched a bit because they were a firmer fit on my calves, or go for the 10, which was definately more comfortable, but which might fall down after a few wears because my calves aren't fat enough. Also, I'd probably have to wear thick socks with them & that's not a sexy look at all!! Needless to say, I went for the snug 9's & currently have them stuffed with newspaper to stretch them a little. I wonder if they'll live up to their reputation as FM boots. Hope so. For some very strange reason which I am yet to fathom, studying tends to get me a little...well...um.....never mind.

Back to work folks, nothing to see here....
