^ you could have a candlelit evening or a candllight bath.

I always think this would be relaxing but I strongly suspect I'd probably just start a housefire somehow...

I failed to spend £40 at Lidl. It was just too hard.

EDF. I get billed every month currently but haven't had a bill since 2nd or 3rd of Jan. Whatsapp'd them to ask why I'm not recieving any bills (Feb and march). Just said Oh there was a network issue meter reads were not updated properly. Asked me I wanted them to generate a bill till meter readings can be updated again. So what generate a made up bill? i don't want an estimate as it will probably be off - I'm using the heating quite conservatively. Sort the bloody meter readings! I'm about £164 in credit but still I don't like not knowing what my bill is esp at the moment.

Haha, yeah i can just imagine, the cosy satisfaction of it all and then nodding off half an hour later. You've got a cat so it may be a bit risky... ?

Anyway, i bought them on the cheap in the event that i may need them this Winter and if not then nevermind, they can sit in the cupboard for many a year until i do use them.

it is quite a feat. I think Lidl are clever buggers, trying to draw me out to a £40 spending.
The last laugh was on me though I spent twenty.

so annoyed, there's no hot water for a shower, and there's only like 3 people in the house.

Depends on the size of trolley? I must be buying all the wrong things. My Tescos shop is rarely under £50 and rising for just me.

Even though I'm not far from London we have no Lidl or Aldi in delivery range.

Totally irrational on my part, but it annoys me when everyone starts fawning over a celebrity for being a 'good guy' or whatever. People talking about Brendan Fraser like he's a human capybara. It kind of makes me want something dark to come out to knock them off their pedestal.

(Sorry if you're reading, Mr. Fraser. I'm sure you're genuinely lovely, and The Mummy woz gud)

Applying for a job on the NHS. Their site is slow, and so tedious filling it all out. Every time.

Building management doing their health & safety rounds of the communal hallway and declaring it unfit because of doormats. It's so bloody obvious they're just absolving themselves in the event something goes wrong.

People who win hundreds of millions of pounds in the lottery and never give anything to me,
Don't they know I am the centre of the universe?

The way that I feel underwhelmed by every film/TV show I watch, game I play, book I read, etc, and the only thing I have any desire to do about it is consume more entertainment.

well I bought a Xbox One AND a PS4. Because of this very problem. Could you join a walking football club Merritt? Maybe some other sources of entertainment maybe worth a go.

A walking football club sounds interesting! I'm imagining like a travelling football match, people at each end carrying goalposts over hill and dale.

Yeah though, there's always other stuff I could pick up, but I don't really want to At least with films and games and stuff, I have some interest, even if it's only as something to pass the time. I can't really think of anything else that even appeals to me that much, or that I wouldn't think was a big pain in the arse.

yeah I know what you mean. If I had the discipline I'd do an open uni course. But I simply don't.

^ Why would anyone do their washing at 4am? That is very inconsiderate.

She might be on one of those economy plans where energy costs less at night and wanted the washing to be finished for when she wakes up?
