The new thrill: knitted products

I know I have been v. bad. I have been mostly v. committed to The Day Job in order to prep them for a promotion in the new year. Fingers crossed.

In other news... I'm having real issues with my story. I thought I had a fabulous spark for my beautiful novel. Turns out, all I have is a spark that fizzled whenever I try to have my spark ignite into the flame of a narrative... I think I need to go back to mind maps. BORE

In secondary news... I was SO excited when I last visited Sainbury's! Now let me tell you, there isn't usually excitement linked with that particular voyage. Yet - when I stumbled into the neon lighted void of la 'Bury this week... ALL THE SMOOTHIES HAD HATS ON!!! Yes, yes, apparently it's an annual thing. But I was utterly delighted to be able to choose a beautiful hand knittted beanie for my lunch time smoothie this week. AND it means I have given 50p to charity. FABULOUS.

On even more other news... I still remain Take That ticketless. I cannot convey my rage at this situation.
