Balancing Acts 2

Stupid database errors.

I just went for about 2 days without having them and I just got 2. :@

I love the BFG, it's so wonderful. I might download it and watch it. Aaaaw.

SNOZCUMBERS.

I havn't seen the film for an aaaaaaage. I may dig it out and watch it tomorrow.

I may throttle GSB's database soon *shakes fist*

It was made by the same people that did Dangermouse.

I <3 Dangermouse. I gave Will a Dangermouse mug and was horrified to find out that he'd never seen it! He must be shown the finer things in life.

How has he never seen it? That's ridiculous!

I've got the boxset. 161 episodes, hahah. LOVE IT.

I might go downstairs and have a binge on them actually.

I know! I grew up on Dangermouse! Loved it, still do.

So did I. Me and my Dad used to watch it allllllllll the time on BBC2. Then when I was a bit older I used to stay up until 2am to watch it on Boomerang. Good times.

Part of me wants a Penfold t-shirt, but the other part of me feels that's taking it too far.

I'm desperate for a Penfold tshirt. It's not too far, it's retro. That sort of stuff is the height of fashion.

I got some bright red patent boat shoes the other day, don't tell me a Penfold t-shirt is too far.

I may get one when my next student loan installment goes in, I'm a bit too skint at the moment though sadly.

I am very much looking forward to my student loan, hahaha. And I'm really looking forward to going shopping this week for pots and pans and duvets etc.

Is that silly?

Oh no, not at all!

I got so excited buying all my stuff last year, I did of course forget stuff like oven gloves and a cheese grater, but I think that's just me. Other people had ones I could rob though.

I'm excited because I've been buying things for my new house, like rugs and cushions. I'm a grown up.

Yeah I was just think that I'd need those little clips you put on bags of stuff to keep them fresh, hahaha. And little plastic bags to stop my cheese from going hard.

Omdays I can't wait til I'm in second year. I'm buying a place cos they're dirt cheap up in Crewe and I've got a bit of money from my grandparents so I'm gonna be incontrollably excitable. It's gonna be all about the scatter cushions and Ikea's simple, affordable, efficient storage units.

Yeah we thought about buying one but they're too expensive up where I am so I'm renting instead. But I'm going to have to get used to paying bills and rent! Argh!

But yes I'm preparing to make it all very swish and colourful.

Ahhh you'll have to send me pics of it. Is it a nice place or is it just a sort of 'it'll do' jobby?

You should have lots of flowy translucent curtains and stuff, make it like a proper colourful but still kind of chic place. That'd be cool.

It's a nice place, quite small but I like it. It was either a small one 5 minutes walk from lectures, or a big one 25 minutes walk from lectures (up Bitch hill)

We were pleased with our decision.

One of my flatmates last year managed to make even her Uni room look lovely and homely with the powers of Ikea so I reckon between us we can get our house looking awesome.

Yeah, closer is definitely better. How many of you are sharing?

Ikea is a FAB place. My whole house will be ikea. You can get sofas for like £60 or something ridiculous like that, which, while they might not be the best in the world, when you're starting out, £60 for a sofa is a steal.

I want my room to be super cool when I'm at uni. I'm gonna get some funky bed sheets and some cushions to make it look all nice and lovely. GAAAAH so excited.

I filled my uni room with bean bags and cushions and always had a brightly covered duvet cover on, it's amazing the difference it makes! And I took photoframes and stuff with me and I decorated my room with tinsel at Christmas and just kind of left it on as it looked so nice.
