That's nice. By Bessie

Interesting, and not so interesting, things we found out today:

Children can choose adult glasses in Specsavers and still get them at childrens prices.  i.e. Katie can have designer glasses up to £99 for £10 or up to £125 for £30.  Cool eh?

If you wait til today (i.e. 7th January) Iceland sell all their Christmas Party food off for £1 a box.   So you could either buy some and put it in the freezer ready for another party or do what we did and have a party tea just because you feel like it.

They finally got round to taking the tree down outside the village hall today.  Officially that still means a year of bad luck so the roof probably will blow off.  We hope if it does it blows the other way and squashes the orange house and not ours.

Daddy needs his ears syringed.  Last night he was listening to the radio while he was painting the bathroom.  It was so loud through the walls that everybody else gave up trying to watch television.   Then he came downstairs, turned the channel over without asking if it was OK and the volume back up (Mummy had muted it) and turned it up to number 37.   Then he left the room again (he does this a lot, we're quite used to it by now) so Mummy turned it down to number 18.  Then he came back in and turned it back up again.  At which point Mummy screamed, "BLOODY HELL,ARE YOU DEAF?"  Daddy said, "Pardon?"  And he wasn't even joking.

Mummy's diet isn't going very well.  She decided she would have a bowl of porridge for breakfast and rice and vegetables for lunch.    Afterwards she was very very hungry but as she was in work she couldn't graze like she would if she was at home.  Katie says it's impossible to graze if there's no food in the house but we think there's always something to graze on, even if it's an old crust of bread or a biskit.   Then she went to look for some running trainers but they were all hideous so she said she will wait til pay day and get some New Balance instead.   Anyway Mummy's extreme hunger and patheticness is the reason why she ended up in Iceland and found the party food.
