99 bleedin’ cent

I can’t believe this. A bar of Dairy Milk, your average, run-of-the-mill chocolate, is 99 cent! As Mal said, “I remember when they were 26p”.

Hey! I’m on the long-list for the Irish Blog Awards. That was nice of someone. Especially given how lazy I’ve been lately!

Anyway, I thought I better put something up to mark the occasion, so without further ado, I give you…

I found Supermarket via Swiss Miss. It’s a lovely website with lovely stuff on it. Oh, lovely.

I’ve already bought two cat stickers for the wall.

P.S. You still can’t beat Etsy though.

What a nice time we had.  Now if only I’d thought to take pictures at the Lovely Ladies Lunch ™, I’d be laughing.

I’m quite obsessed with this

I’ve listened to this at least ten times today.

Maybe I could love you. Maybe I was lying because when you do love someone sometimes you say you don’t because you’re playing hard to get, playing a game.

Games?

Yeah, I was just playing a game with you.

Love games?

Thats right, love games, Gregg.

Love games?

Do you love me?
Are you playin’ your love games with me,
I just want to know what to do, cause I need your love alot, oh come on now

Movin’ too fast, this isn’t a race.
Baby, back off, and lower the pace now.
Slow it down, give me with space,
Movin’ too fast, this isn’t a race.

I was in Rathmines today; it’s a lovely spot altogether. Especially since we actually had a bit of sun.

It is too wet and rotten out to do anything other than make tea and polish off the Christmas chocolate.  The selection box is being rapidly depleted.  I think I’ll make tea now, in fact.
