collecting bottles and thrown away cans
woo hoo! check me out, updating from home on a sunday ;o)

i've been making a mix md, as i said i would, and it's left me all smiley and happy as i've been singing along badly to old favourites. plus i found a promo copy of oasis's be here now album which is apparently worth between �30 and �70 so that was nice.

my sister's baby shower was quite fun yesterday. she got loads of presents and i bucked the trend of buying baby things and got a present for her instead - a BeneFit make up bag (she liked mine) and a little lip colour thing to go in it. i got a bit carried away at the counter in House of Fraser and got myself a lipstick as well. the woman behind the counter could tell i was a bit of a benefit freak i think, cos when i asked her for a sample pot of this blue eyeshadow and it wasn't in stock, she just gave me the display one! how nice was that? :o)

so after the shower me and luce went wandering round a couple of shops before heading back to her flat because she's been having such bad low back pain (which may or may not be a sign of the onset of labour) and chilled out watching tv and chatting. after she fell asleep i watched Nowhere which is so surreal but so watchable and funny.

and today's been lovely. i spoke to c this morning (he and my brother in law went out last night, and this morning he said he was broken, so i guess they had a good time) and i'm going over there later for dinner and two back to back episodes of 24. hurrah.

i'm really not looking forward to work tomorrow... i shall have to find more ways to make it bearable, like stealing more stationary and wasting even more time than ever on the internet. i really hope the FBW asks for a cup of tea so i can hawk up something extra for him.

apparently my dad is still doing well after his chemo session. he had a sleepless night but hasn't been sick or anything like that yet. this thursday he has a half hour session and the week after that he has off. after two of these three week cycles he has an x-ray to see if the cancer has shrunk or not.

i'm feeling very calm and composed about this at the moment, apart from my sister's mother in law writing her an email telling her to expect the worst and give my dad as much time as possible with his first grandchild. my sister was in tears when she got it, naturally. why would you send an email like that??? well she's in australia so at least there's some distance between them!

since this is a long rambling random entry, i'm going to take this time now to whinge about anna, my flatmate. she never washes the dishes and never takes the rubbish down. charlie and i have purposely left this stinking black bag in the kitchen for 4 days now and it's still there. and when she cooks a roast dinner she just leaves stuff everywhere. so whenever i go to cook something, i have to clean the whole kitchen first. it's really annoying.

there, whinge over.
