I kinda love this kid...

Daniel Radcliffe is kind of terrible at staying humble

May have snorted tea out my nose at 1:03... 'We're doing the same thing Jake!!!'



Happy weekend everyone!!!

The return of Fran Friday...

Ebay, books and guinea pigs... Bring on 2013

A rather belated Happy New Year everyone!

Well January is already sneaking on by, and I have yet to decide what I want to do with the year! Time for a new year checklist I think...

•  Well the first has nothing whatsoever to do with writing... This time last year I moved house. I went from renting a single room in a shared house, to renting a two bedroom house - so why do I have no room for all my stuff?!?!?! It's insane. I need to have a clear out.  I am also ridiculously overdrawn after Christmas so I think an epic ebay session is needed!
• Next on the list is my stack of books to read! It's possible it might be taller than me now. I considered making a rule that I can't buy any new books until I've read one on the list but... but... not buying books?!?!?!?! I've already given up chocolate and alcohol this week - books is all I have left!
• I also have grand writing plans this year, some semi-secret, some top secret and some... not secret at all! I'll be needing some guinea pigs soon (obv not real ones, though that would be cute!) to test my writing on...if I'm brave enough!

 



12 Things I have learnt in 2012...

Well it's New Years Eve, and as I prepare to put on my glad-rags and dance the new year in, I thought I would take a few moments between painting my nails and curling my hair to have a think about some of the things I have learnt this year...

1) There is no such thing as too many pairs of shoes

2) There is such thing as too many dogs...

3) Missing a vital letter from the word 'count' is not the worst typo you can make...

4) ...neither is accidentally putting three 'x's at the end of a message to your boss.

5) Offence is taken, not given.

6) Not all lost cats find there way home.

7) Your best friends are not necessarily the ones you have known the longest.

8) Honey makes an excellent burn remedy.

9) It's all well and good having people support your every move, but sometimes you need someone to remind you of the things you can't (and shouldn't do)

10) Smoked haddock is the devils food.

11) Blood is thicker than water - but so is yogurt

12) If you're too drunk to log onto twitter... you probably shouldn't be on there...

Happy New Year everyone! Here's to 2013!!!

This post has been a long time coming...

At least once I week I end up typing the phrase 'literaty tattoos' into google, more often than not I end up on contrariwise (which you should all go look at after reading this post!) I can't believe it has taken me over a year to get round to doing a tattoo post!

That being said, if I'd done this a year ago I might not have had quite so much to share...

Okay, aside from the fact that I don't actually work in IT, this is a pretty accurate depiction of my office life...

Yep. I am Jen...
