Despite always putting your cold foot on my leg, spilling stuff on the floor and habit of phoning two minutes after leaving the house I still kind of like you.
Okay. I kind of like you a lot ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
As the schools were off on strike yesterday we had the bright idea of taking Corey Christmas shopping with mam. Then found out the many other people had the same bright idea. The place was jam packed with kids and teens. You couldn't get moved, the shops were boiling hot, and because Kay and Kayleigh came too we ended up walking around for hours. I swear we walked past one part of the shopping centre at least ten times. The part that has Lush in fact, but sadly Mikey, Ray and Frank weren't working there #kopperblazeawesomeau
Then after that the two K's needed some grocery shopping so we hit Asda. Where I tried using coupons for the first time. I'd printed them from online and was mocked for having them but I don't care, I got two packs of free soft cheese, two free bottles of cider, two free stir fry sauces and a free Dr Pepper. I'll never be a crazy coupon lady but if I can get stuff like that I'm not going to turn it down.
The day before we'd all gone to Ikea. Where a huge picture frame I had on the trolley slid off and smashed, very loudly /o\ That day we came home with a lantern, tea light candles, another bigger candle, a bottle of non-alcohol wine and some biscuits. But they still haven't got the veggie hot dogs back yet which is just wrong >:(
Later we're off to Asda again for our main monthly shop and also mam's. Then the plan is to put the Christmas tree up tonight.
Going back to awesome AUs a moment.sperrywink has finally posted her Frank/Mikey story and it's all kinds of wonderful. Go read, enjoy, tell her how amazing she is, and then maybe add on how a Frank/Mikey story set on the sea would be fabulous The Only Hope For Me Is You.
Also,syndelar wrote me 50 Frank/Mikey sentences which were all kinds of wonderful.
Finally, I completed mini nano \o/ With way fewer words than previous years but I still wrote every day for the month, and as a result my bandomstuffsit story is close to being finished. Which is good as it needs to be sent off to beta very soon. Like, this weekend soon if I don't want to be killed by my beta.

As I'm sure you know :)

I'm looking forward to your bandomstuffsit story! :)

Date: 2011-12-01 06:36 pm (UTC)I feel for you. I'm never overfond of shopping but packed, boiling hot shops make it a hundred times worse!
Eeeep! I hope noone got hurt? When I bought the big frame for my Danger Days poster I was afraid I would drop it. It was so big and heavy.
I hope the shopping and Christmas tree fixing went well.
Congratulations to finishing! I knew you could do it!

Date: 2011-12-07 02:00 pm (UTC)We try not to go shopping at the weekends close to Christmas, and really thought a weekday would be better. More fool me.
No, thankfully the glass was contained in the packaging, which is good as there was a lot of it.
The tree is up and looking great. The story is still 2 1/2 place-holders down. Oooops.

We did, I'll be glad to see the back of the shops.
