The problem with going late night shopping is just that, late night. We headed off to get the uniform at about 9 and had a semi successful trip. We managed to get most things except shoes which is a problem. I suspect that we'll be hitting the shops tomorrow again. Plus there was the constant he has those at home from James, which yes, Corey has a full uniform but it's now too small. It's like a different world shopping late at night, we did our grocery shop at the same time, and the place was full of employees stocking shelves, so at any moment you could look back and a huge pallet loaded with cans could be heading right at you. So, shopping done we started on the sneaky part of the night. Remember there's no road next to my house so we park a row of houses back. Which means when we have a lot of shopping we tend to drive over the pavement and grass to our back gate. We're not allowed to do that and the neighbours can and will report us for doing so. This means we free wheel as far as we can, radio down, shutting doors as quietly as possible and scuttle from boot to garden as fast as possible. Not last night, one of the other maverick neighbours had parked his car on the grass and blocked our way, so we had to run past four houses, shopping bags in hand in total silence. After all that I left most of the shopping until this morning and just went to bed.

Yesterday was just a long day. I did get a nice surprise when I was reading the magazine that comes with my newspaper and saw Lance and Howie looking at me on one of the back pages as part of a boyband word search. Funny thing was all of Nsync were on there but only Howie for the boys. Which just proves Howie is special ;)

It's mam's birthday today, which I forgot until yesterday, as did my brother as he phoned to ask about it this morning. We were going to go up but she's gone out so I've nothing on today, which is good as it looks like it's going to chuck it down.

Reading the flist I see that it's connotations in a few weeks. My first ever slash event and the first time I'll meet any slashers. My seiyaharris (who's going to get personal snuggles ) nopsued and littledrop are you still going? I'm on one hand excited but on the other terrified and I know I'm a wimp, just work with me here, it'll get worse the closer it comes. Also, I can't see any pictures hosted by the new LJ feature. Which makes me cry as I was promised a picture that would make me die by _bettina_ and all I get is the red x of doom! However, I'm an adult and shall wait patiently. This does help me in a way though, I was wondering if I should stop using Photobucket for LJ pics thing and this tells me no.

Last thing and I'm off. Has anyone seen Carnival? It's starting here soon and I was wondering if it's any good.

I lie sorry. Anyone that offered to look over that damn trickyfish for Briticisms look out for it later. I'm close to finishing, I hope.

I just have to say that _bettina_ is a goddess and I may have to worship her for a good many years.

Thank you! It was so worth the wait!

Now I go to stare and try to start breathing again ;)

It's done. I don't think the ending's going to be that popular but I think it's okay. Now I wait for my beta to actually make it good. All my volunteers to check over the dialogue, watch your mail boxes.

I'm going to have a night off then on to the next challenge, which has just given me the biggest shock as I thought the announcement said there's only 24 hours left not 24 days.

And that's all I've got. I'm going to go do sentinel_thurs then try and actually read some of the dozens of tabs I have open, all of which are stories and posts to comment on.
