All week I have eagerly anticipating finally doing my Christmas shopping today, so you can imagine my disdain at looking out the window at 8am (yes, I got up that early on my day off in order to get things done) to see a thick blanket of snow covering the entire landscape. My car was reduced to a snowy hill outside my house.
So as of yet, nobody will be getting a Christmas present from me. I didnt waste the day though, I trawled the internet for research on a project but then got sidetracked by various websites that enticed me with a scoring system based on how many times you post.
Right now I am drinking Lambrini with my sister's senile cat on my head.
Did you see that picture below? Thats cool, right? I hope the owner doesn't sue me because I didnt actually ask for permission to use it here.
Anyhoo (ho ho)

The Hitchers Wife
I did a search for The Hitcher (The Mighty Boosh) at DeviantArt and stumbled across this. Isn't it cool! It is by a user called StarWarsQueen and it is sooo good.
I am really into female villains at the moment. Harley Quinn is my new idol. x

Snowvember
Yes, the ingenious papers have tagged this month Snowvember, rendering it to ridonkulous status like those silly dog names (Cavapoo, Labradoodle, Puggle...) and those celebrity marriages (Brangelina, TomKat...). England is already experiencing the snow that breaks oh-so-many legs, kills oh-so-many grannies and brings the country to a halt in January/February.
I wonder if Climate Change will soon mean that Alaska is like Hawaii and vice versa.?
My heating is broken so I can seriously see me freezing to death this Winter. I swear I came [..this..] close to actually crying last night; shivering under my two double quilts, fleece blanket, slippers, socks, pyjamas, dressing gown and gloves.
I want a dog. Obviously after Christmas. And obviously when I have sorted out the heating situation. A Shih Tzu or perhaps maybe a rescue dog. Yay.

Deranged
Seriously they look like the models legs have been snapped in three or four places and have now been poorly binded together with Christmas ribbon.
This is probably a warning as to how your feet will look after wearing these boots.
Deranged.
