i will! i submitted my leave requests the other day and there is a bunch in jan, so i def want to come over

definately didnt travel enough this year, so i'm going to save all my spare pennies and sell a bunch of crap.

the toilet tour, 2008!

joanna - <3 back. It isn't the white ceilings at all. It's the integration of the green paint lines that made it onto the ceiling. It irks me, but I suppose I'll get used to it. It's only in a small area. It could be worse. (Maybe I'll get up there with Liquid Paper?) By the way it was invented by Monkee's Mike Nesmith's Mom -- if you didn't know.

Sunday - Ugh. Awful I feel bad for you. That truly sucks. I hope they don't smell like patchouli. Because patchouli smells like attic and dead Grandma privates. Er, I assume.

Cantankerous - It isn't anything too interesting. I am the plaintiff. Cross your fingers for me and pet a beagle.

There was a dog I wanted to adopt and I am glad I didn't because she is a puppy and this would have been too stressful for her. I hope she found a good home or that she is happy and still available when I am unpacked.

Today I have plans and then tonight I am celebrating my first Chanukkah.


I think you should get shirts printed for the toilet tour. Flushing can be a locale.

sufafa can have her own toilet pic thread. hopefully mine will be cleaner than most? I could not cope with hippie stink. ocd.

hg - liquid paper is called tippex here. and scotch tape is cellotape. tippex is a crap word. I vote you do it though, it'd drive me bonkers, again, ocd. peter tork was my favourite monkey. my mother liked the ugly one.

If the ugly one is Mickey he was my crush as a kid. Peter is a sweetheart.

When I was at Wembley someone asked me for a "byro" and I kept saing "what?" and he repeated. I finally said "what is a byro?" I think I was in Sheffield when I asked for a comforter at a b&b and the guy brought me a hot water bottle. That guy was great. He whisled in two tones at once while he made out English Breakfast. Cap for some reason I have yet to determine. The beand with eggs thing has stuck with me. But the lard fried bread and bangers not so much. Not at all. I miss banoffi pie and clotted cream which I feared due to it's name. There's the whole fags and rubbers thing too. Posh spice was on Ellen and said her son told his teacher he collects rubbers and she was beflummoxed.

I have decided not to look at the celing and in doing so have found a splash of green on the baseboard. That simply will not do. I suspect you would have already been at the paint store. The trouble is I don;t know what "white" it is. Because, of course, in paint there are a million colors of white. Whodathunkit?

baseboards and ceilings are usually generic white? like flat white or gloss white or soemthing. not eggshell and NOT MAGNOLIA.

I'd have used masking tape. we had to repaint the spare room (do you remember in anne of green gables about the guest room, it just popped into my head) because we bought the wrong beige colour to touch up some marks on the wall. haha. and had to mask off the border because I couldn't be arsed to take it down after the hell of ripping down the really hideous one in the bedroom. so masking tape all around the top of the room to save a nasty border because we bought the wrong beige. if i'd known we'd be repainting I'd have picked a less boring colour.

as a half recovered veg I don't do anything that had anything to do with lard. FEAR. but banoffee pie? had some last week. I also had a yorkshire pudding (wtf it's so not pudding) with my roast dinner tonight.

i dont know that i know what patchouli smells like, but there was one 'hilarious' incident where the girlfriend was watching a diy show and took a notion to oil a wood cabinet to protect the wood. in theory this is a good idea, if it's your cabinet in your own house and you have the appropriate wood oil, not if you're some random with nothing but alot of linseed oil. we had the windows open for about two days after it stank so bad...

ok how do you know if it's just a bruise on your nose or if you've done actual damage? in other news spasticaguy john is officially the first uk kr person (other than the husband duh) to see me drunk.
