So we had to move things around the house at the weekend in order to make space for Xmas, and thus put up our tree. We discovered, when my mum took the netting off that held it together that its well.. a rather short and fat tree.
Still am looking forward to Xmas, although I have to keep telling C that he can’t go and open his presents yet!

Not really got that much to say at the moment, it’s all been a bit hectic in someways as I fall into the rythem of getting up for work in the morning and then getting home. All this working means that trying to juggle this myraid of hobbies I have is a bit awkward (Still I’m earning money so this is not really a complaint). Tuesday evenings are taken up by role playing, we’ve just started a Scion game, which is proving to be quite fun, after only two sessions, after Xmas we’ll probably end up alternating between that and Dark Heresy if our two other players become less busy. But Scion is a lot of fun. (Sometimes I wonder what ‘normal’ people think when they hear what plots and plans we discuss, like hunting down serial killers, or trying to protect magical zombie raising chalices which people might think is the holy grail.)
My knitting has slowed down, although I think once I’ve settled in a bit more at work I’ll start taking some socks in, probably after xmas at this rate. Although saying that I think I’ve already settled in in some ways. They’ve all been so friendly, had my xmas meal with them yesterday and am taking part in secret santa. As a company they do have a lot of temps thou, so it’s quite nice.
Hmm what else? Ohh ack I’ve really been negleticting my librivox recording, and tbh I probably need to get up to date with some projects, chase up readers and such. (I think I meant to do some of this the other weekend but it slipped my mind, and I’ve got to find a secret santa gift this weekend).
Finally don’t even get me started on my Tyranids… I haven’t touched them in weeks (I also really need to get a case for them too.) Oh well it’ll get done at some point.. C just keeps hasseling me about it, but.. I do like my Tyranids and I do want to paint them (and well I want to get and paint a chaos army too) but… I want to knit.. and er.. Knitting kind of wins that fight. Plus its cold and dark and painting is fiddly.

Ok so I suppose in the grand scheme of things it’s not been that long since I last posted but at the same time, I’ve been meaning to post for a while, things have just been a bit hectic.
I also think I’m feeling a bit lazy, I just started writing a whole lot of stuff and well its not really that interesting, the most important things I need to note are really.
1. I got a Distinction on my Masters, and I had my graudation on Monday. HAH! Yes I am exceptionally pleased with that. It makes me do a happy dance. 
2. I got a job, (or at least a temp job that could go on for a while with the possibility of being perminant) so yaaay! It’ll be nice to get pay checks again! It’s also sort of doing what I want to be doing too, database stuff, so double yay really!
Thus in celebration of this, I hit the shops today (I have a day off cause it’s their annual staff conference thing and well.. I’ve not even been there a week!). Got some cheapo smart trousers from Primark, which while regular lenght are ridiculasly long! Going to have to take those up, they were only a £5 though. On the other end of the scale I hit Marks and Sparks, and spent a fair bit. Luckily though they were having another 20% off day today, which made me both annoyed and happy at the same time. As it was quite busy but in the end I did save a decent amount on my purchase. Annoyingly shoes weren’t covered in that 20% off, so my new boots (which I think are pretty damn fab and I was eyeing them a few weeks before, but just couldn’t justify buying them) were quite expensive. Still hopefully they should keep my feet warm, ESPECIALLY when I’m waiitng for the bus to go to work.
Speaking of buses that reminds me, I ended up waiting for well over 45 mins for a bus to work yesterday. A bus did arrive at the bus stop shortly after I arrived at it, but got filled up with all the school kids at the stop (who didn’t want to move all the way down the bus thus serveral people, myself included had to wait…. and wait… and wait. Next bus turned up about 40 mins later, but was so full you couldn’t get on. I decided to walk it (I had walked the night before and it took me about 30 mins to walk. Thank goodness for working on Flexitime!), just as I was getting to the bus stop after the one I left, a bus turned up! Apparently the reason for the long wait was a burst watermain. Fun. I really wish the bus stop I go to had a screen that tells you how long till the next bus, as I could have just walked to work instead. I finally make it to work only to discovere the heating wasn’t really working. It took me a long while to warm up.
All this standing about in the cold has also made me realise i should knit some more socks. As they’ll be a lot warmer for my feet than thin cotton ones.
