85: Saturday 8th October 2011

My mind is amazingly blank. Today went by so quickly! 

One favour fell through but I got to watch a movie at mums. Did you know it's over ten years since the two towers got hit in america? I can't believe how long ago it was! yep watched the Nicholas Cage movie.

Makes you think...

Score 6/10: a thoughtful day

86: Friday 7th October 2011

Wow lots done today! 

• Made a feedback box in club colours
• Wrote awards for awesome members (If you're SBL remember to vote for member of the year)
• Created home made cake decorations, now all I need is the cake
• Successfully made soft oiled eggs for lunch :D only one decided to leak in the pan
  created an AGM plan

Left to do before sleep:

• Sort recycling into new bags so I can use the box for planting onions
• Wash up and make the kitchen sparkle
• Find a pattern for sewing baby hats or just wing it
• Create a party play list
• Eat

and you know what's the most difficult thing of the day? The play list. My taste in music is so eclectic (thanks sister act for teaching me that word) I have no idea what to include for a party. Queen is a given. Or is it too cliché? Firefly theme tune? Busted? Celebration? I think I may be out dj'ed on the night.

Oh and the draught excluder works a treat!!! You can tell because when you pick it up to get out it's freezing! 

Score 8/10: Having a plan makes me feel so much better. Tidy schedule tidy mind.

*yawn*

I’m bit late posting today because I got very distracted with a craft project. As many will know I have a lot of scrap material about the house. Especially ripped jeans and I’ve been trying to figure out a way to use them for some time… and today it struck me! With living in an old house we have many draughts. So we needed a draught excluder! 

Problem one

Problem two

The solution

 While I enjoyed seeing this finished it is a rather... excess use of the material. In fact it's to wide I used not so scrap material in it.  A tape measure or template might work better next time. But I only need one so no matter. One trouser leg with pockets sewn up so bugs don't 'nest' and no more scraps!

Score 7.5/10: things are finally getting fixed though I doubt I'll be fixing the letter box. It's painted to the door!

88: Wednesday 5th October 2011

Having spent the entire day thinking it was Tuesday I'm surprised how productive it was. Didn't miss a thing! rolling D20's all day :D

A brief trip to the hospital (and the discovery off Fibromyalgia which would explain a lot) and then I was out to roam town looking for boxes. Magic boxes. just the right size for many many cards. Alas I came up short and didn't find any. There's no way I'm spending £4 on a cardboard box! Would you?

It was the meeting at the Phoenix Square which made this an excellent day. They have graciously announced they will home Star Base Leicester for another year. How awesome is that! This place is the ultimate cinema. They're even going to put Jurassic Park on the big screen.

The Star Base Leicester logo

There's a new poll too, I was shocked so few people like brown sauce...

cable update: The elusive cable that would allow me to upload photo's is still hiding! 

 Score 8/10: medical discoveries do not scare me!!!!!!! :D  ... and School of Rock is awesome! the modern day sister act lol

89: Tuesday 4th October 2011

Yesterday I was 14 years old accoring to a retail assistant. Today I was 20 according to a doctor...I'm actually 27! oh well it was not as bad as getting I.D'd for Twilight or ice cream...

In this weeks tournament (Magic the gathering) I came 12th out of 25. Not bad but the best bit was that I didn't feel totally defeated when I was....... welll totally defeated. I just shrugged it off as a good game and moved on :) where as it used to get to me. The bad bit was I brought 4 boosters. Really should just play with the cards I have.

Back in the grown up world of reality, I've a new task to figure out, replacing the letterbox :S ... ... ...

Score 7/10: could be more productive

90: Monday 3rd October 2011

Another day at the library and I'm begining to feel useful again :D 

Ooh two sites for you today,

The Dalek toy

and the next recipe to try. I reckon it's do able... though shallots I'm guessing are onions. Hey don't judge! I know you want to but I'm not the worst out there! Somekids don't know where milk comes from!!!!!! (ok mostly in America from what you see on Jamie olivers show) And why on earth are purple onions and cabbages called 'red'???

Anyway, this challenge goes out to everyone, try the recipe, or pick a brand new recipe of your own... and if you're anything like me you'll end up making a totally new recipe by accident.


Score 7/10: lots of little good bits but again nothing big....

91: Sunday 2nd October 2011

If the sign of a good day is being exhausted at the end of it... then today was amazing... but that logic doesn't quite work.

A long journey home, a wander through town, chores... now watching star gate and general TV. Best bit was waking up in a great little b&b with Tom...my special guy and fellow geek :P.

I tell you what there is some odd tv out there but we can always be saved by Top Gear right? 

Oh and photo's coming as soon as I find the ninja cable, even of the not so mushy peas!

on another tangent, terra nova looks interesting...

Score 6/10: CRAVING EXCITEMENT!
