Tomorrow is the beginning of advent. Tomorrow is the start of December. Tomorrow, the fun begins on Day Dedication!
MUSIC takes today. And thats a bit hint to our advent fun. I don't care what it is, its worth a shot. Classical, pop, R&B, soul, dance, easy lsitening, jazz, blues, even hip hop! I will give it all a go.
And there is one question I get asked a lot because of my X Factor commentary on Twitter - whats your favourite song? Can you get the jist yet?!
So, 25 days till Christmas. I have made a list of my favourite songs ever. 50 of them. And ranked them. So, over the next 25 days, I shall unveil two a night, until we finally get to number one. Think of it as a very long chart countdown!
We shall start tomorrow night, and no, it won't be a Dedicatee for both each night - my rules are that you can't dedicate your day to the person in the song. Oh, and the artist can't be repeated! Was tricky, but we got there.
So, MUSIC, Monday 30th November 2009 is yours!
(P.S. Bring on December now!)

Sunday 29th November 2009 - Alicia Keys
Currrently writing this DURING the X Factor results, so I could get very excited at one point!
Well ALICIA KEYS was on the show tonight - and I suddenly realised how much I really do love her. She's just brilliant - her albums are brilliant, and hold some of the best hidden gems you'll ever hear.
And the new single is by a mile one of my favourite songs at the minute. I didn't expect to give Alicia today - up until half an hour ago it was going to 'The Morning After The Night Before' - but hey ho!
So yes, I think she's an incredibly talented artist, who I would love to keep in my room, and pull out whenever I needed a song. Which I do regularly - but the albums are different to her actually ebing there!
ALICIA KEYS, Sunday 29th November 2009 is yours.
(P.S. Christmas is sorted, all shall be revealed tomorrow!)

Saturday 28th November 2009 - Laughing
I apologise for this being a day late, but last night was bizarre. Just bizarre.
A full Thanksgiving dinner, followed by a long chat with Alex, Katie, Tom and Isobel, then with everyone else. We really are nutters.
Then a quick sleep, a rest and plenty of toilet breaks, a bit of Facebook, Match of the Day, sorting out my eye, and suddenly a massive bout of sleepiness hit me. Just like that.
But LAUGHING got everyone through yesterday. We were all knackered. All 13 of us. And I don't think any of us would have lasted as long as we did without loads of laughing!
I know, its a short one, but LAUGHING, you are the Day Dedicatee for Saturday 28th November 2009.

Friday 27th November 2009 - Tiger Woods
Poor ole Tiger today. Unconfirmed reports said he was in a 'very serious condition' in hospital, but he's been released tonight with 'facial lasarations'. All in a day's work for him I guess.
Mr Woods is the world's first billionaire in sport. Not bad for a 33-year-old man, who has years left in his career. I was genuinely scared for the man when I saw the news of 'WOODS IN HOSPITAL AFTER CAR CRASH'. But within 5 minutes it was all cleared up. Thankfully.
So hopefully we'll see him back up and running in a couple of days. He just needs to remember that the reverse gear on his massive 4x4 has to be taken slowly!
TIGER WOODS, Friday 27th November 2009 is yours.
(P.S. Please please please drop me an email on here, or via Twitter, if you want to get involved! I want it to become something the world can do, not just me!)

Thursday 26th November 2009 - Thanksgiving
To all my American readers, Happy Thanksgiving!
Now as Dad's brother is now a US citizen, we all celebrate Thanksgiving, and have done for 8 years now. Its such good fun, and we do everything an American would do on a Thanksgiving weekend. Even the alcohol.
But its been a good day. First day at work went well, and Katie and Isobel's GCSE celebration evening was good too. And saw Ewan - big shout out to my newest reader! Hehe.
So a good day. And the end of a week too! Tomorrow is a day with Isobel with our Thanksgiving prep - all good.
So, my lovely readers, you all sleep well! THANKSGIVING, Thursday 26th November 2009 is yours.

Wednesday 25th November 2009 - DIY
DIY. We all do it. At some stage anyway. Even if half a wall is missing, us blokes will still try and put that magic floating shelf up there. But today, I'm talking in terms of a theoretical type of DIY, rather than with a hammer, a chisel and some Polyfilla.
Today, I'm talking about fixing things in life. Yes, I know, being very philisophical the last few weeks, but a lot of arguments have led to a lot of thinking, and specifically about certain things.
Today was spent at a Business Enterprise competition, and even though we lost, I took a great deal out of today. Not because we lost to some absolute arses who believe that cockiness, loud posh voices and brash presentations who believe that is enough to get themselves out in the big wide world (not that I'm bitter or anything...), but because of what happened during today when I was away.
Today, Isobel grew. And grew. And grew. And I'm so proud of her today. The big problem got 'fixed' as such, and most of it was a culmination of chats between myself, her and Max. And we've finally got somewhere today. 3 days hard work comes down to one word, which was finally uttered and everything was 'forgiven'. And the way she dealt with it all just made me smile. Calmly, cleverly and happily. Which is the first time I've seen her do that.
And she Did It (Your)Herself. DIY (sorta...). Hence the title! Oh I am clever.
I think that even though they aren't specific personal blogs at the minute, my days are seeping their way into the writing, and if they aren't aimed at specific people, they are aimed at something to do with them. If that makes any sense whatsoever.
DIY, Wednesday 25th November 2009 is yours.
(P.S. Got something very excited lined up for December - will reveal all next Monday. But its all very exciting, so keep reading!)
(P.P.S. And for those who asked, yes there will be an entry on Christmas Day. And I can't predict you that will be! No seriously, I can't...)

Tuesday 24th November 2009 - Bridge Over Troubled Water
Before I begin, I must apologise to Isobel for some things that were said yesterday.They were comments made well before I knew you, and they stopped the minute I did. Don't read into them, at all. Especially not now. I'm sorry.
And I'd also like to point you towards a blog from a few months back - Friday 18th September 2009 - Bull - and hopefully this may trigger something so as someone understand what has gone on.
Anyway, today goes to BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER. The song, not the album. Mainly because of tonight's events, and what is meant within the words. Makes sense I guess!
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Monday 23rd November 2009 - Writing
I did a bad thing today. Luckily, it got sorted, but I was worried,
On a lighter note, todays winner is WRITING. Very easy one for today. Exactly what was needed, after a difficult, and very precarious day. You all know that I like to write, and I got loads of stuff down today.
Only problem was, was that I spilt wax everywhere, so burnt my hand and couldn't write any more! Underneath my hand is all sore, but I'll live.
If only wiritng was so much easier, and people could find the messages within them. So many people miss out on what is written because they don't understand why it is there. Otehrwise, the world would be full of messages that had been found, and not the secret ones that make them all the more special.
But, thats what a good writer has, and I haven't got that! Everyone knows that! Luckily though, I have someone else to sort out my writing, and someone who will look after me as well!
If you find my message for today, or maybe even this week (hint hint) let me know. WRITING, Monday 23rd November 2009 is yours.

Sunday 22nd November 2009 - Fate
I do apologise if anything listed below is wrong, its just this is written in advance of when it is posted, just to make life a bit easier and let me catch up on some sleep!
I figured that after a few days of piss poor posting (sorry everyone), I should get this thing back to normal. So today, the day goes to FATE.
Now fate, to me, in inavoidable. You can't actually miss it, because there is no consequence. Everything that happens has happened for a reason. Depending on your opinion, it could be the Big Man Upstairs, or another spirit of some sort. For me, it is a cross between BMU and Nana.
Everything in my life turned around just after Nana died. After holding in all that emotion the week she died, it began to seep out very slowly over the next few weeks, making me very depressed. Nothing was going my way, everything was against me - it was a bad few months.
That went on till just after Christmas, when Girl #1 came along. She got me out the depression, and then just dropped me like a hat. No contact since, and it turns out that she is actually a lesbian. Great. Depression starts again.
Girl #2 next. She actually did seem like a realistic opportunity. Looking back, it was me just pressing our friendship. And yes, I said some things I shouldn't have done, but when you're down and depressed, you're blinkered to the rest of the world. That failed miserably, and on the 6th of June, everything came to a head, and I'm quite happy to admit it, it was the first time I had genuinally considered suicide.
It just seemed the only option - finish me off and all the problems end there. It was something I toyed with. A quick word to Nana though, and everything changed. People began to care that night, people actually showed me that they wanted me around. And three days later, the best thing so far happened.
Isobel arrived, and what do I find on the way to meet her for the first time since I asked her out? One white feather. Just one. And thats Nana's sign, Nana's way of telling us she's still around. And ever since, anything good has had some sort of link to her - in a feather, a saying, just something to let us know she's around.
So, why today? Because today is the 22nd of November. Today is an insignificant day, nothing happens today of any massive importance. Yes, Lloyd may have left the X Factor, and yes, the floods in Cumbria are getting worse, but today, nothing happens. An empty day, as such.
Today is an empty day. And what do you do when its an empty day? You think. You think about everything. And I went back into a filing cabinet (in my head) to something I didn't ever want to go abck to. Isobel said to me today - 'you're in a good mood.' The reason was that I faced my demons. The alst thing I actually needed to sort out, and finally the black cloud lifts from over my head. Its over 6 months since I met Isobel, and finally, the depression itself has disappeared. I haven't shown it, I haven't even thought about it myself! But I knew it was still there.
Not any more. My life is brilliant. I have a bloody amazing group of friends, a good laugh at school, and a wonderful girlfriend. I have a smile on my face, I have a happy disposition. And its great.
And whats it all down to? BMU and Nana. Fate.
FATE, thankyou. Sunday 22nd November 2009 is yours.

Saturday 21st November 2009 - Man United
I do apologise that its Sunday, but I was at the United game yesterday!
MANCHESTER UNITED take today. We won yesterday - 3-0. Good game, we were all over them second half.
Plenty of crowd trouble in the Everton end though - fighting amongst themselves! Very funny, loads of riot police!

Friday 20th November 2009 - Children in Need
Told ya.
CHILDREN IN NEED, for those of you who don't know, is a British charity telethon, which over the last 28 years has raised over £500m for the children who need help.
A fresh new look in 2007 refreshed the charity, but the giving keeps going. The great British public donated nearly £40m last year, in the face of the worst recession in modern times.
7 hours on the telly tonight, with the stories, support and laughs of a typical Friday night in. But this has a cause. A cause to give to, and to raise some money for those who need it more. And yes, I have donated.
CHILDREN IN NEED, the British public salute you. Friday 20th November 2009 is yours.

Thursday 19th November 2009 - Honesty
A feeling today. A good one at that.
And it felt so much better. A big weight lifted from my shoulders. Just something I've worried about admitting for months, and now I finally have, and everything seems so much better. I can finally relax!
I can't say too much, cos I only admitted it to one person, who is also sworn to secrecy. But it was a secret kept from her, so this means a lot.
I know its a short one, but my laptop is finally back! And I have a numb hand and Children in Need kicks off tonight, and they're getting the day tomorrow I think. Not confirmed, but I think so!

Wednesday 18th November 2009 - Jenson Button
Jenson finally completed his move! So, after Monday's listing and circling, my predictions may very well spring into action!
JENSON BUTTON is now a Vodafone McLaren-Mercedes driver. A dream team - him and Lewis Hamilton?! You wouldn't say no. Especially if you've mastered your new car already. Could be absolutely brilliant - another Button-Barrichello situation hopefully!
Mr Button, you are the Day Dedicatee for Wednesday 18th November 2009.

Tuesday 17th November 2009 - Call Centres
Do you not just hate them?! CALL CENTRES. And this is where my rant shall begin.
As you found out the other day, I'm not best pleased with Dell. A faulty screen, permanent software issues (which they 'cannot fix') and 2 new hard drives later, and the bloody thing still isn't working. Yes, my new drive arrived today, and yes, I spent the last 3 hours upgrading, installing and downloading what I could. But what is missing?
The network drivers. Anything and everything else I wanted - but to download the network drivers I need the internet. How stupid can you get?! Without these drivers I can't GET on the internet!
So, Amjiit, Primjat and Sunita, the three 'technicians' I have spoken to in the last efw days, when you send me an email asking for a reply if it helps, don't expect a reply. Cos my laptop is broken, and that is why I contacted you in the first place. Absolute fools.
And Dell are getting a very strongly worded letter tomorrow. They are also being moaned about in every way I can, and receiving a call directly to the manager tomorrow. Screw these technicians, I'm going straight to the head honcho. And if he can't fix it, I wish to receive my £378.14 back.
Oh, and just in case you were thinking about buying a Dell, DON'T. You may hear some wonder stories about the company - God knows I did - but just Google 'Dell problems' and look how many hits you can get. My point exactly.

Monday 16th November 2009 - Mercedes Grand Prix
A dreary Monday was topped off with the news of my new favourite sport. The F1!
Well, Brawn have been taken over by Mercedes, and been rebranded 'Mercedes GP'. And that could very well spell the end of Jenson Button at Brawn/Mercedes. But if Mercedes now own 75% of Brawn, what happens to McLaren-Mercedes Well McLaren have to buy back the remaining 40% from Mercedes before the 2011 season, costing a rumoured £500m. Phew.
But then the driver changes happen! Lewis Hamilton is staying at McLaren-Mercedes, but leaves one seat empty. With Red Bull keeping both Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, Felipe Massa staying at Ferrari and Sebasian Buemi keeping his seat with Toro Rosso, lots of seats were available!
So, I hear you say, 'Where are we now?! I'm so confused!' Fear not, I shall shed some light on the matter. 4 new teams have entered the grid for next season - Lotus F1, Manor GP, Campos Meta and US F1. Which means there are 26 seats available, and with only 5 of them filled, the teams had a lot to do!
So far, then, we have this. Giancarlo Fisichella left Force India after Race 13 in 2009, and joined Ferrari. He will become the test driver and reserve driver for 2010. Force India are yet to unveil their driving lineup for 2010, so are yet to replace him. Both Adrian Sutil and Vitantonio Liuzzi are still to be confirmed, but look to be out of a job.
Ferrari have filled Fisichella's seat with Fernando Alonso, who has joined from Renault. Renault are discussing whether to pull out of F1 altogether, but have already signed Robert Kubica to replace Alonso. This leaves Nelson Piquet Jr. sacked from the team, and after the crash scandal, Flavio Briatore has been banned as well.
Kubica's old team, BMW Sauber, have pulled out of F1, so Nick Heidfeld has lost his seat. He has, however, alos been linked with both Brawn/Mercedes GP and Renault, and this could complete an ex-BMW lineup at the French team.
On the other side of the grid, we have Williams. They have signed Rubens Barrichello from Brawn/Mercedes GP, and have told Nico Rosberg he is free to leave the team. Rosberg is linked with Brawn/Mercedes GP, and could compete with Heidfeld. Also joining Barrichello is Nico Hulkenberg, who won the GP2 series.
So then we have the 4 new teams. Campos Meta have signed Bruno Senna, nephew of the legendary Ayrton Senna, and have one available seat, being linked with a lot of previous GP2 drivers. Then we have Lotus, who have signed no-one, but are being linked with Jarno Trulli, who has no team after Toyota left. This has also left Timo Glock without a team, and he has been linked with Manor. They have also been linked with Nelson Piquet Jr., who could have a reprieve from his ban.
This leaves two teams - Toro Rosso and US F1. With one seat available, Toro Rosso are likely to give it to 2009 driver Jamie Algersuari, but this could change depending on the ex-Toyota driver situation. The US F1 team have decided to scout for potential F1 drivers in the USA, and will employ two American drivers for the enw season.
But where does this leave Kimi Raikonnen? He could take a seat in any of these teams! And Sebastian Bourdais could be on for a return after his sacking by Toro Rosso midway through the season. Nakajima could also get a drive with one of the new teams. Raikonnen could technically go to Brawn/Mercedes GP, which takes us back in the big loop, and starts us off again with jenson button!
It is all to be revealed. I do apologise if you have no interest in F1 whatsoever, but I needed to write down my ideas while they were fresh!
So, MERCEDES GRAND PRIX, Monday 16th November 2009 is yours!
Well, Brawn have been taken over by Mercedes, and been rebranded 'Mercedes GP'. And that could very well spell the end of Jenson Button at Brawn/Mercedes. But if Mercedes now own 75% of Brawn, what happens to McLaren-Mercedes Well McLaren have to buy back the remaining 40% from Mercedes before the 2011 season, costing a rumoured £500m. Phew.
But then the driver changes happen! Lewis Hamilton is staying at McLaren-Mercedes, but leaves one seat empty. With Red Bull keeping both Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, Felipe Massa staying at Ferrari and Sebasian Buemi keeping his seat with Toro Rosso, lots of seats were available!
So, I hear you say, 'Where are we now?! I'm so confused!' Fear not, I shall shed some light on the matter. 4 new teams have entered the grid for next season - Lotus F1, Manor GP, Campos Meta and US F1. Which means there are 26 seats available, and with only 5 of them filled, the teams had a lot to do!
So far, then, we have this. Giancarlo Fisichella left Force India after Race 13 in 2009, and joined Ferrari. He will become the test driver and reserve driver for 2010. Force India are yet to unveil their driving lineup for 2010, so are yet to replace him. Both Adrian Sutil and Vitantonio Liuzzi are still to be confirmed, but look to be out of a job.
Ferrari have filled Fisichella's seat with Fernando Alonso, who has joined from Renault. Renault are discussing whether to pull out of F1 altogether, but have already signed Robert Kubica to replace Alonso. This leaves Nelson Piquet Jr. sacked from the team, and after the crash scandal, Flavio Briatore has been banned as well.

Ah, a good one here. It may be a bit late, but it was such good fun!
Me and George spent the evening on the Xbox, slagging off some American, and striking up a friendship with a British bloke who was seduced with a French-accented version of 'Hey Jude'. Good work!
CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2. It needs one word. Wow. Every review is true, its bloody brilliant. Such a good game.

Friday 13th November 2009 - It
A simple on today. Today goes to IT.
Now It has been the subject of a lot of talking today, and has annoyed many people. It cannot keep itself to itself, and needs to elarn that life goes on. And yes, It has come between a lot of people, but It has learnt that now.
A short one, but the shorter the better today. I'm not gonna waste my time writing about It!

Thursday 12th November 2009 - Billy Foord
A second personal one? On a consecutive night? Blimey! I am pushing the boat out!
Well, Billy is the only really close friend who hasn't been blogged about, and seeing as I'm going to try and do some more personal ones, it was his turn.
BILLY FOORD has been my best friend since we were 3. He lived down the road, then when we moved house, we stayed close and have been stuck like glue together in secondary school. He's such a good laugh, we get each others sense of humour. And we literally are the only two who have this sense of humour. Seriously.
So anything we chat about always has some very bizarre jokey link. Which is brilliant! Especially with the douche in English!
BILLY FOORD, you are the Day Dedicatee for Thursday 12th November 2009.

Wednesday 11th November 2009 - Max Reiser
Thought it was about time for another personal one!
Well, after finding out earlier that George's entry is actually listed on Google (search 'George Rule Hitchin', and up he pops!) I figured it was time to bring out the old trunk of personal potential bloggers, and came up with this one!
MAX REISER.
Now Max hasn't had the greatest of years. But he's dealt with it. Alone. And is able to laugh about his problems now, and has overcome every one of them near enough by himself. Not a bad feat, if you ask me.
There are plenty of people I can think of who can't cope by themselves. And decide that they would rather ditch all their problems onto someone else so as they don't have to deal with it themselves. And these people don't have anyone to look to anymopre, because they are so fed up with them. Max, on the other hand, got himself out of it all, joined a new group of friends, found some other people like him and is suddenly right as rain!
Not many people can gain respect with the push of a button, but Max certainly has. He's walked into our group, and everyone has welcomed him. Yeah, so Bradley and Willby don't think too highly of him, but its better than it could have been! George likes him (we think), I like him, Billy likes him, Isobel likes him. Its all good!
And yes, Max sometimes does get too hyper and gets a bit aggrevating. But don't we all? Maybe just give him a chance, you'll learn to like him!

Tuesday 10th November 2009 - Indian Cooking
I'm going to be quite quick tonight! Sorry, that will be two on the bounce!
Tonight, INDIAN COOKING wins it. Been watching F Word tonight, and it was Indian restaurants, but he made the most amazing dry rub for meats which I may have to give a crack next week.
Very spicy, very eloquent, very stylish Indian food. Now I hate veg, but I think with the right spices, and right accompaniments, it would work!

Friday 6th November 2009 - Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel
Okay, so its only quarter to 3. Okay, so its Mariah - again. But I have a perfect legitimate reason.
My day hasn't been a particularly memorable one. Having a moaning cow all through break and lunch, having Business in 2 completely different rooms without a long break this morning, and being kicked out from seeing Isobel at the end of lunchtime. The moany cow bit still came in. Especially when she asked Katie to 'kill me'. Find someone who cares, if you're reading this.
I got home, to find no-one in, but did enjoy my cinammon swirl-drip coffee combo from Starbucks. Came upstairs, powered on my laptop and planned to do a load of Christmas shopping. But what do I find in my inbox?!
An email from Amazon telling me Mariah's album has been delayed - again.
Now I'm really really REALLY looking forward to this album, and have been since April, when it was properly revealed. We left America the week before it was released in the States, but I figured that it would be okay, as its only released two days later here. Oh, how wrong I was.
As we got back, it was delayed till the end of September - the 25th to be precise. I didn't think that was too bad. Then there was a problem with promotion for her in the UK, so everywhere else got the album, but here. It was delayed till October, then again till the beginning of November. Release date was finally set at November 16th, and has been that for a good couple of months.
But now, after deciding to appear on Alan Carr's Chatty Man, doing something for 4Music, and appearing on Strictly Come Dancing, she wants an extra week. So it has been pushed back to November 28th. Great.
Mariah, I love you to bits, but sort it out!

Thursday 5th November 2009 - Fireworks
Probably one that a lot of people can relate to.
FIREWORKS, invented by the Ancient Chinese, have developed over years to become bigger, better and brighter. But for some reason, last night, I felt a lot of sadness! And I've worked out why.
I've gotten older! Suddenly, watching fireworks at the age of 16 isn't as special as watching them when you're 6. When you can't see where they're coming from, and the magic happens in the sky, not the big white van attached to the speakers and the keyboard to send them off. In fact, I was more interested in the man with the MacBook than the fountain in the corner!
Of course, seeing Isobel was a bonus, and seeing all my friends and having a good night was the main factor. But seriously, the fireworks need to improve even more at Blueharts if you want us to keep coming back! We will eventually just go for nostalgic reasons, not for enjoyment!

Wednesday 4th November 2009 - Wind
A long day. Its been really long...
Up early, ready by 8, wander into school, 2 hours of long long English lessons, then an hour off, which was alright, then a horrific afternoon of being bored, fed up and very agitated in Business Studies.
And every time we got outside, it was windy. Every single time. The rain started up, but we avoided it luckily, but the wind still didn't let up. I swear if we didn't have good enough grip on our shoes we'd have taken off.
It was worse this afternoon than at lunchtime, and at least I don't have to go out again tonight. Still, massively aggrevating!

Tuesday 3rd November 2009 - Coffee
Now, it sounds very bizarre to dedicate today to COFFEE, but its being done.
I've become quite addicted to coffee since the weekend. I don't know why, but I have. I love coffee, and having more and more of it isn't good, but my God, its a decent breakfast!
A lot of people grind the beans, and drink it black, cos it 'tastes better'. Me? Well, in the morning, its 2 spoons of instant coffee, followed by 2 of sugar and a little bit of milk. Then turn the kettle off just before it boils so you can drink it straight away. In the evening though, it becomes decaf!
And I've drunk too much this week I think. Its only Tuesday.
COFFEE, you are the Day Dedicatee for Tuesday 3rd November 2009.
(P.S. I got the job! Not as many hours as I would have liked, but I start on the 26th, work on a Saturday, and three nights a week. Would have loved to keep it going beyond Christmas, and on a Sunday, but they don't want me! Hey ho!)

And if I have to write any more like that, it is going to kill me.
Now I'm very excited for Saturday night - the fact we all have to wear pink is a bit of an adventure, a whole night of sitting with Isobel watching Pink Panther, and a Frwench accxent to fit it all too. And we can't stop either. Which could hurt my throat.
I tried it today. I had a cheese grater in my mouth after an hour. Imagine 5?!

Sunday 1st November 2009 - Mulled Wine Candles
Start a new month with a bang!
Mulled wine candles......
I shall explain. Now I love having a Christmas smell in my room - whether it be a spray, a plug-in, a stand-up - whatever. But they didn't have this one out yet, so we got a candle! And it didn't smell until we lit it. Now my whole room smells all Christmasy!
And I can tell its getting to Christmas. Was in town with Isobel today - freezing! Needed another layer - was already wearing 3! And Starbucks launch their red cups next week, so the good ole gingerbread latte returns!
And this Waterstone's job I told you about? Find out tomorrow or Tuesday. Very anxious, was really hopeful until earlier, where I smiled at Allison (lovely boss lady) and she gave me a timid 'hello' back - good or bad news?! Let me know....
MULLED WINE CANDLES, you have Sunday 1st November 2009 Day Dedicated to you!

Saturday 31st October 2009 - Formula 1
The good old F1.
It was qualifying today, and it was the only thing that kept me going. No Isobel, no large bar of chocolate, and Willby for the evening, I had that hour of heaven to enjoy between hours of work.
Lewis won, and Jenson has walked it. But the Yas Circuit - wow. Just incredible. I have to go there soon.
F1, Saturday 31st October 2009 is the day you get Day Dedicateed!
