I'm tired, so I ramble...

Very sleepy, but trying to stay awake... until Darcy comes home from work anyway. So I figured I could do a bit of spamming, since I seem to be incapable of commenting on other peoples' posts. But then my brain has turned to mush and I feel like a whale. Only two weeks left until the baby arrives (but Impish Girl was 5 days early...)!


Went shopping last night! :) For a good while now I've been trying to convince Darcy that 'Yes we do need a new pushchair/buggy for the baby'. The old one was chucked in the shed when we moved in two years ago, and well - it's just not all that nice anymore. He tried his best to revive it, but finally gave in and so yesterday afternoon we went round the various baby-places and ended up with this one! :) So I'm very pleased at the moment - especially since my mother has already said that she'll pay for it... so that's one free pushchair! :D

Also spent a good while cleaning the baby bath (another thing that had been stored in the shed), but now it looks as good as new, so that's more money saved. Babies can be very expensive if you're not careful... now all I need is the moses basket I'm borrowing off one of my (RL) friends and the baby can arrive.

But that's probably enough about babies - I have a feeling that only my mother would be interested in all this...

So - [livejournal.com profile] poshcat tagged me for the i • d • i • o • syn • cra • sy meme:
1. A structural or behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group.
2. A physiological or temperamental peculiarity.
3. An unusual individual reaction to food or a drug.
List five of your own idiosyncrasies and then tag five friends to do the same.


It took a while to think up 5 (brain not working, remember) and they're not that exciting I'm afraid:
1) As a child I was impossibly good at saving stuff up. I was very rarely allowed sweets, so once when on holiday I bought a large box of chocolates and proceeded to eat one a day. It lasted more than a month.
2) I *hate* embarrassing situations. Which means that I can't watch f.ex. 'The Office' or 'Alan Partridge'.
3) I can't concentrate on doing artwork if the surroundings are messy and/or noisy. (This doesn't affect my writing abilities at all though, which is why I've done a lot more writing than painting in the last year.)
4) I work out plot points in my head when I'm walking and when I try to go to sleep. If my stories are boring, that's why! ;)
5) I love pretty things, but I'll go with practical/cheap over looks just about every time. Even I don't understand why.

Um, no good at tagging, but I'll try:
