Fat Tuesday

So I got Press Ganged (scuse the pun) by violetcreme yesterday into finally spending my Birthday Money that's been sitting around on the dresser for a couple of months. I also rediscovered a couple of gift cards I'd hitherto forgotten about.

Feeling a bit perkier today, but still have a very sexy, phlegmy voice. And I need to sort out a few things for tomorrow - stuff for the car's MOT, daffs etc etc...

Oh, and a Very Happy Pancake Day, one and all! (it *is* Pancake Day, isn't it...?) Hurrah for taking the gorging festivals from Christianity and cutting out all the purging! Don't think I can be bothered to do proper pancakes tonight, but some Scotch pancakes with a bit of Maple Syrup might be nice (yes, I am still feeding my Cold with stodge). Good luck with anyone giving stuff up for lent - my sister still does it with something major (usually meat, chocolate or alcohol) every year. I'm just too weak willed!

A very, very good comedian and, like so many *genuinely* funny women in the Comedy business, criminally underrated.

However...

Hubs got his promotion today (at last!) and I got a 3.5K sponsorship deal out of a certain Big Supermarket (the biggest one in the UK, hint hint) Woo!

Right About Now I'm 50/50...

Thanks, Gabi...

You Are 50% Evil

You are evil, but you haven't yet mastered the dark side.
Fear not though - you are on your way to world domination.


Also:

Does anybody else automatically sing the name of the News show to its theme tune? You know, like:

(to ITN News at 10) New-hoos at Ten (new new new news at ten) New-hoos at Ten (new new new news at ten) New-hoos at ten. News at! Ten! News at! Ten! News at! tttttttteeeeeeeNNNNNNN!!!!
or (to Channel 4 News) Channel 4! (doo doo doo doo doo doo) Channel 4! (doo doo doo doo doo doo) Channel 4, Channel 4, Channel 4!

Of course, thanks to Bill Bailey, the BBC News pips now have be danced to as twere a Post Apocalyptic Rave.

Singalonga News. So much fun!
