Home!

As it happens, I am now home :D It's great to be back, I'm really enjoying seeing my family and friends again. I have been busy buying things (presents, wool etc), my best purchase to date being;

 

 

Yeah! It's a Stegosaurus piggybank, and I shall be using it to hold my £2 for the £2 coin challenge.

 

This inspired me to crochet some dinosaurs - maybe I'll be able to sell them to get some extra cash.

 

Also, the crochet gloves I started off earlier in the year? Well I've finally started to make some headway into them and they're starting to come on nicely. They are a little tight, but that's what you get for considering the pattern to be a mere guideline

The Sock Calendar

So, I know I haven't really been keeping up with the Sock Calendar - I have been busy procrastinating and  preparing to go home.

 

 

 

Results

So, today I received the results back from my Stats test - I got a first which I am very happy about. This is obviously preliminary marking, so my mark may go up or down but in the meantime here's a selfie of me looking intelligent and pensive

..oooh...so intelligent

 

I found Hazelnut Moser Roth. I'll repeat that for the hard of hearing. HAZELNUT MOSER ROTH. It's Nutella in a bar. mmm mm mmmmm

 

..oooh...hazelnut moser roth

 

 Also I found out that these exist. And holy moly I want one xD I am in the process of making a list to send my parents, so they can send a tesco or whatever delivery to my address to stock up my warchest, So lots of noodles and crackers :P

 

 

Secret Santa

I can't quite remember if I've done this yet, but here goes

 

So, Jess was my Secret Santa, and she got me a microwaveable hot water bottle in the shape of a dinosaur! I have yet to name him, but I think he looks kinda spanish

Pictured: Spanish

 

It was then time for the Edge Christmas Dinner, which as you can see was maHOOsive and I only managed to eat about a third of it. But it was very nice, but with far too many Brussels sprouts i.e. more than one.

 

 

The Sock Calendar - 12-13

I am aware that I haven't really been keeping up with things, but shush, no-one else knows :P

 

 

 

The sock for the 14th contains some apricot face scrub which I am very much looking forward to using

The Sock Calendar - Wherever we're up to now

So basically I've lost track of were we are, but here's what I've had the last few days

 

The Noodle Report:- Pot Noodle Chinese Chow Mein

The Noodle Report:- Pot Noodle Chinese Chow Mein

 

PEAS! WHY! EVEN MORE THAN LAST TIME! THE INHUMANITY! PEAS! THERE WAS, LIKE, SEVEN! IT TOOK ME MINUTES TO REMOVE THEM ALL! WHAT KIND OF NOODLE POT HAS PEAS IN IT! IT IS AN OFFENCE, AN ABOMINATION UNTO NUGGAN! PEAS!

So yeah, this was actually alright, apart from the aforementioned peas. (PEAS!). It was not as sweet as the British curry flavour, which was a marked improvement. I did feel it was grainy, almost quite powdery in a wet way. But I'd deffo have it again

Noodle Rating: 6/10

The Sock Calendar - Dec 6 & 7

 

 

 

Chocolate coins xD

 

You can never have enough Moser Roth

The Sock Calendar - Dec 5

This was a quite big and heavy present today, almost pulling the sock off its peg

 

So the fact there was moisturiser in it would explain that!

Corp

Yesterday was eventful; I took a fair few selfies on my way to work, and my shift went surprisingly ok - I've started getting the hang of working the till, and I've started to get to know the other people on the first floor which is always nice. And Sheff is lovely in the winter sun.

 

 I don't know who that guy is but he got in my shot

And after my shift, I went to Corp. For the uninitiated (ie me) it was a dark room with phenomenally sticky floors - like I'd tied my shoes tight and I STILL almost lost them on several occasions. The stickiness problem was solved by the copious amounts of puke and spilt drinks on the floor. You think that's disgusting? I was wearing canvas shoes! And the amount of drinks that were spilled down the back of my legs was frightening...especially with the smell of regurgitated alcohol all around.

Kate later tells me that Corp is infamous in Sheff for 'Blue Pints', I think vodka and alcopop type thing, the name of which eludes me now but it was blue and raspberry flavour; and vomit. The Blue Pint wasn't actually that bad though, but the amount of drunk people was hilarious - at 11pm (we'd got there early) there was a guy so drunk he was having trouble standing - at 11! Stay classy Sheff!

 

I have now been informed that the blue alcopop is actually WKD - thanks to Kie for the clarification

 

 

The Sock Calendar - Dec 3 & 4

Yeah yeah, I know I was meant to post one of these yesterday but whatever

Yeah buddy! Moser Roth!

 

 

This bar went in 3 seconds I swear

 

 

The Sock Calendar - Dec 2

MOSER ROTH!

The Sock Calendar - Dec 1

It's that time of year again and that time of year is SOCK CALENDAR

 

 

Same drill as usual, 24 socks with 24 small gifts, to be opened like an advent calendar. The main difference this year being that I'm in Sheffield and everyone else is at home :(

 

 

So....Sock number 1....

 

 

5 Mini Snowmen!
