Last week my wife made me sit down and watch 'Outnumbered' A sitcom on BBC1. All I can say is that it is very funny, and if you dont laugh you are probably dead :D Watch it here!

today...
I'm feeling quite low and antisocial :( my self esteem feels beaten up. no particular reason. I just feel like that from time to time. I need to do something that I can mark as an achievement, but as Jon is off ill I cant publish a new cow (camooflage) on lifeismootiful as I need him to do his usual text bits :(
This weekend I am planning on making sock pigs! I'll post up some pics on monday if I do. My Where's Wally stuff arived today too! cool! well done Vicky!

beaver etiquette...
Thanks to Jon today for his gift to me of a beaver! (oddly holding a marshmallow on a stick). Since my gift to him of a wind-up beaver, he saw a need to return one (as is polite in such cases). He also has a beaver hand puppet on his desk! I can't really compete with that :( (thankfully to be honest)

a lick of paint...
Hello blog readers! You may have (well I hope you have) noticed a bit of a change in the design! Us designers change our designs as often as we change our underwear (*Realises it has been several months since the last change* (Of design that is, NOT underwear)). Anyway, I am trying out a new thing that means the design should change depending in the time of day! Cool eh? well it should look like the following:
Autumn Day
Autumn Night
Winter Day
And Winter Night
There is a bug at the moment (As in it doesn't work) But i'll fix that soon! ttfn

if at first...
If at first you don't succeed ask your wife to buy you an electric whisk for Christmas! The conversation went something like this:
Me: "Cath... For christmas can I have an electric mixer?"
Cath: "What about the one we already have?"
Me: "Eh?"
Cath: "Your sister bought you one for your last birthday."
Me: "She did? Oops."
Well, having then got the Mixer out of the cupboard I tried again with the cakes and success!
Pic coming soon!

today...
Having taken a bit of an emotional beating of late. I have decided to make small targets and goals to get myself going again.
Well tonight I made chocolate muffins. But not muffins as you think because I dont have a muffin tray :( and I had to use regular cake sized paper thingys. But they contained tasty chocolate :) ...
sadly they sunk :(
... but did taste good in a chocolate gooo way. Catherine adds squirty cream on hers! She describes them as "Moist, chocolatey, cake like" and has just realised and commented that they are also not muffins like I intended the to be.
Yay for melted chocolate, squirty cream, sugar rushes and a good reason to try again and make more!
