It’s so hard to decide what places I want to visit for holidays because my favourite place that I’ve found in the world is twenty minutes up the road from where I live.
I suppose that makes me stupidly lucky though :)

TMI Tuesday
Bored so… yeah. TMI Tuesday questions. Ask box is open, anon or not.
Oh. OH. I’ve just realised that means I can have a holiday in 2013! YAY! By then Antony and I will have been together four years and never had a holiday… going to start looking in advance ;) Wales here we come! (in about 17 months…)
Found out today that even though the ‘golden hello’ scheme is over, there are apparently ‘financial incentives’ for training as a primary school teacher. Because I got a 2:1, this means I ought to be getting a ‘financial incentive’ to the tune of £5,000… whoop!
(Though it is a little bit depressing when you think “Hooray, I’m getting extra free money! That can go in the savings!” Will be worth it when it comes to putting a deposit on a house though haha.)
My lord 2012 is turning out to be a fabulous year so far. Here’s hoping it keeps up this level of awesomeness :)
Drawing mouse traps is hard.
I’ve started dreaming about baseline writing.
I don’t want to go back to work. I want to carry on teaching. Roll on September!
Does anyone know of anywhere online where you can buy other people's yarn left-overs?
(Preferably UK based?)
I need a couple of metres of cobweb/laceweight white yarn and I realllllly don’t want to have to buy a whole ball when all I need is a very little bit.
(Come to think of it… if anyone here has any to sell cheaply give me a message!)
I'm bored.
Someone entertain me (or wake my boyfriend up so I can open the curtains…)
Apparently my brother believes that it’s reasonable to (forced) sterilize trans people because it possibly maybe might not sometimes be medically advised to conceive naturally… Apparently human rights and personal invasion have nothing to do with it, let alone all the other base inaccuracies. Tumblr, please give me strength not to entirely excommunicate my brother? Is there any hope?
It really pisses me off when companies hire people as managers who have never actually done any of the bottom rung/salesfloor jobs in their lives.
WHAT. NO. ARE YOU STUPID.
There are a lot of things I need to do once I’m home before the Visit of the In-Laws in February. One of them is to ACTUALLY get round to buying a basket to keep the yarn stash in. I have no idea where from though. If anyone knows anywhere that is selling medium-sized baskets cheaply, please let me know!
There is also a LOT of tidying to be done. And a lot of caking. I am more than happy about that last part though ;) Oh, and I haven’t even thought about the amount of roving I need to order/felt I need to make. Busy bee!
Last day at Mercenfeld tomorrow though. Sad times :( I want to be a teacher already!
I was just thinking “Oh before I go home I might put a turquoise stripe in my hair again seeing as I have the dye here.”
Then I remembered that a) my hair is already dyed auburn so it would go all sludgy and horrible and b) I still have a job for which I have to look like a well-presented, capable and agreeable human being. I don’t think my boss would count blue hair as part of that sort of image. Rubbish.
I’ll stop talking about my hair now.
