I got a bit tipsy on Friday night, which I think is the closest I've got to getting drunk all year. I have discovered, though, why so many people from work get drunk all the time - they drink wine. Apparently it's more potent and two glasses will do it. If I got drunk on two drinks I'd be drunk a lot more often. Sadly, though, wine is really disgusting. I can manage two sips as long as there's enough time in between the two for me to forget how bad the first one was. And that's red wine. White is worse. I think I'll just stick to the spirits. And anyway, watching other people being drunk is so much better.

I was having a cross stitching crisis, now I'm almost having the opposite. I spent a small fortune (or at least it seems like it, as they're so expensive) in Hobbycraft yesterday and now I have three. And my mum wanted to check which ones so if she were to buy me some for a surprise she wouldn't get the same ones. I pointed out the slight problem in that argument to her

I'm not doing terribly well with Chanukah presents at the moment. I can't decide what calendar to get my sister to get me (we have an agreement not to do birthday presents and just get each other calendars each year). This is partly due to the Friar Street Bookshop not having very many in. Their choices were Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Buffy and Angel. None of which were very exciting - of the ones that actually showed you all of the months, at least.

My grandmother has already asked me what I want, but I expect that in October. My mum told me how much she's prepared to spend but there's no rush. Which is just as well because all I have on my list for definite so far is a potato peeler (I'm envious of mum's new one) and a tape measure.

Typically, of course, it pissed it down the whole time I was in Reading yesterday, so I got really wet. Today it hasn't rained yet. If I'd stayed in yesterday and gone there today it would have been the opposite way round.

I'm almost looking forward to work at the moment, but that's because I have a four day week, followed by a two day week, followed by a three day week.
