Wow, talk about speedy! I woke to a parcel this morning, but I had no idea who the addressee was. Jeni suggested googling the PO Box, and it was from there that we ascertained that the parcel was my GAD win. So now I have Mario Galaxy 2 to play. Thank you so much, Freeola!

I woke up against my will before 8 this morning. Not a happy bunny. I had an alarm set for 9 which I had to cancel.

Morning all.

Managed to get the early bus this morning, a much better start to the day today! Been busy answering questions since I came in though so I haven't managed to go and get breakfast as yet. Will have to remedy that in a minute.

I shan't moan again. :p

Least in 4 weeks time the furthest I have to go in a day is to the bathroom. Then at the end of September it will be less than a mile walk to my lectures. However, during a heavy student hangover, that one mile may feel like a walk to Mongolia.

@Butch...thank the lord for facebook...it has saved us again!

Not really making it easier for yourself are you mate? What's wrong with Colchester train station? (Or Marks Tey, Kelvedon or even Romford) Would certainly save you a lot of driving time.

@HM: Not a problem mate, I would have forgotten otherwise!

You think thats bad. I get up at 5am, shower, drive from Colchester to Witham. Get the train to Stratford, get the Central line to Bank, get the Waterloo and City Line to Waterloo. Work. Do the reverse journey and get home around 7.15pm.

Anyone excited for Scott Pilgrim vs The World? Looks like the next big thing in comic adaptation.movies.

The Graphic Novels have always been big fanboy pullers so hopefully they've made the movie work without compromising on the characters otherwise the fanboys will be up in arms, but if anyone can make it work it's Edgar Wright.

Home at 6pm...and that's an hour late :(

7am bus get home at 6pm (if the clinics run on time) - usual day for me!

And thanks Butch for posting the link to my wall :D

Afternoon,

Possibly no consolation pb but I'm often late for work because I sleep in - and I work from home :D

@Butch - clever and now I feel an urge to play an old game...
