This is my first post of 2009 and I’ve been meaning to post since NYE but didn’t get around to it. I got invited go to this year panto by my parents and I thought why not. I haven’t been to see a panto for awhile but the offer of having a Pizza Express before hand and be able to go to use my Topman gift card was too tempting to refuse.

After park and riding things up, I went straight to Topman and tried on their hats. It seems quite social place to hang in the late afternoon as it was busy but strangers was talking with each other. Rather strange and then once I picked the stunning hat I wanted, the person at the kiosk I seemed to know from shopping there before. Topman is one of my dream student jobs I have in mind. Maybe once I can drive?

Pizza Express was delicious as it always is. This time I had a desert there which is unusual which was a chocolate fudge cake with ice cream. This mix well with each other and I think it one of the many good combinations you can have for a desert. Next stop.. the playhouse!

After collecting the tickets, we all had a drink at the rather busy bar before finding our seat. Sleeping Beauty was enjoyable and it finished a good night out with my parents. I was dreading abit beforehand but glad I stuck it out. The day after tomorrow I have my last day of my Christmas break off and then its the delights of college. I’m guessing it will be a long day in the house on my own. Oh well, I have the Wii and Messenger I suppose.

Mad love for Pepsi Max

Pepsi createI converted into drinking Pepsi Max ever since I started college as I noticed it had QR codes on them. Ever since I noticed this fact I tried collecting each different bottle design as they had artwork from different artist. I failed really badly at this as the college only stocked two of the designs in their shop and venders. I much perfer the taste of Pepsi to anything Coke sells.

If only I was paid to create this post, I was only inspired to post about Pepsi as I got money from parentals to get a create of the stuff from the sad Woolworths closing down sale that is going on. Mad that I paid a whole £18 quid for 24 bottles but I am making a saving somehow as it normally a £1 a bottle in college.

Happy Christmas every reader!

The pains of stiring chocolate

Chocolatey goodnessWith my sister being back and all we decided to make some chocolate cake. It seems to turned into a traditional thing we do every christmas now. The night before I headed to Sainsburys (always nice to change supermarkets once in a while) and whilst I was there shoved the needed things like cream and chocolate into the basket. You can find how to bake it here.

I offered to melt the chocolate as I liked doing it before when I did them chocolate cornflake cake things and rather enjoyed it. I didn’t know how long it would take to melt this amount of chocolate and how I had to stir flour etc manually with a woodern spoon. Gripping it for that long cains belive me.

All this hard labour paid off when I smelt it baking, it was lovely. I’m looking forward for the eating of the cake tomorrow when it all set. Its going to be good!

Woolworths nearly empty

Woolworths emptyOn the process on picking up the Christmas meat from the butchers that my mom ordered I discovered with my Dad that Woolworths was quite empty now. They started putting stock from their Argos copycat catalogue at the front of the store which is strange and the back of store is empty apart from having cheap earphones and the HD cable I needed. I’m guessing that stock has been returned back to somewhere.

It was quite a shock as when I last been there recently it was quite full still. They must of discounted things even more than before. It came to the point now where they selling the fixures of the store and as a child growing up with their store, I never of dreamt that as a teenager I could buy a store shelf from them.  I took pictures of some of the place being empty as its upsetting when you finally can see in vision that it shall be gone by 2009.

Farewell good old Woolies.. You shall be missed by me.
