More about the weather. I have a fire on at the moment. In July. And the 500 litres of oil I bought in march to tide me over the summer is just about to run out. In July. And I've woken up feeling a bit cold every morning for the last two months as I've refused to put the central heating on in the morning.
So it's cost me a fortune and I haven't really even felt warm.
Since march, I've burnt one load of logs and 500 litres oil I haven't budgeted for and not been warm in the process. What a total waste of money.

Try being right next to the epicentre of the Met office red warning. It started raining here a few hours ago and it's already surface water hell. Just made it home. Dreading leaving the house tomorrow.

Probably gonna regret saying this, but there's been hardly any rain here so far. I'm on the edge of the forecasted area anyway so might get away with it. My house is on the top of a very big hill anyway, so I wasn't too bothered.

I feel like such a fat b@st@rd but I don't care. Had maccy egg mcmuffin, asked for two hash browns but because I'd made it a meal, I got a total of three when I'd asked for only one additional one, and a hot chocolate. This was at 7am or so.
Past two weeks I've been hankering for some fish'n'chips so when I drove past my favourite one, I thought i'd pop in. Got four smaller pieces of fish (they had been cut for a customer who then said they were still too large) which meant I got the equivalent of two whole fishes for the price of one. I don't think I should eat anything for the rest of the day to balance things out.

I find it hilarious. Probably because the Edd is a form of Sheldon.
