I eat MilkyWay's rather messily..
My mum needed a bag of funsize chocolates for Sunday School, but she wasn't there when my dad went shopping so he got three bags. She took one but said that we can take the rest :D Unfortunately these things are tiny, so you have to have at least two else you go crazy. To quote a wise man:
Went babysitting again tonight. Resorted to bribery. It worked. Watched two hours of television. Got paid a tenner. Niiice :D
"Fun Size? What's so fun about less candy?"Mmmm. MilkyWay.

Everybooddyy. Rock your booddyyy.
One day the world will unite in love for Backstreet Boys music and chocolate.
Until that day, I will have to do all the appreciation myself.
Appreciating chocolate is generally an excellent way to spend your afternoon.
I always kinda fancied the vampire guy in this video.
Did anyone watch 'Let's Dance for Comic Relief'?? Omgosh Robert Webb hahahaaa.
Beautiful.

Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, the amazing chocolatier
Helllooo :D I'll keep it short:
+ Went to Cadbury world today. SO MUCH CHOCOLATE. I may explode at any given moment.
+ Watched Chocolat - Johnny Depp is unfair. Tarantulas are scary.
+ Was watching news when I got home, apparently they're spending loads and loads of money on Birmingham New St station, giving it a big staircase thing and big ol' glass roof and whatnot. It's completely ridiculous because the station is completely fine the way it is. It just needs a lick of paint, perhaps. But spending all that much when there's people dying of starvation in the world? I hate to sound like a broken record but it really does make you sick. The same goes for Hollywood. I've little objection to high-budget films, because they entertain people and they are often very creative. I do, however, object to the glamour of premieres and the ridiculous lifestyles that people live. It's all very well wanting to look nice for the cameras, but it's just plain selfish to go out and get some high priced bit of cloth with a label hanging off just so that you get a special mention in a stupid gossipy magazine.
Sorry, did I say I was keeping this short?
Hahh. Never mind then.

illness
I thought you might like to see how I'm doing. Uhh literally.
I'm still feeling poorly (and playing on Corel Photo-Paint) buutt I took I took some fun photos of my environment, seeing as I took nearly all the photos off this blog.
Lookie:
Oh-so-pleasant bin full of tissues! Hahha. You know you wanted to see that. There are also bits of Christmas in there that I forgot to throw away.
This is what my hair looks like when I don't attack it with straighteners. Now you know why I get up so early lol.
Harry the Hot Water Bottle! - the actual hot water bottle is hidden inside lol.
I dressed up Marvin... As a Grandma... I dunno, they get ill too, right?
Cosy slippers! :D So stylish lol.
And finally, my super marvelous exciting amazing hot chocolate!
With a very, very secret recipe. BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU ANYWAY BECAUSE I AM NICE.
With bullet points. I can tell you're on the edge of your seat.

And finally, my super marvelous exciting amazing hot chocolate!With a very, very secret recipe. BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU ANYWAY BECAUSE I AM NICE.
With bullet points. I can tell you're on the edge of your seat.
- First, get a mug. I am using a rather brilliant Piglet mug that my mum bought yesterday.
- Stick the kettle on. Make sure there is enough water in it first. (You can probably do this recipe with milk, if you are not fond of using water. Being a picky person myself, I don't mind if you break that rule)
- Find some marshmallows (or buy some especially for the occasion) and chuck about four in (Hey! You're ill! You have to be generous. It's the law.)
- Dig around your cupboards for some Golden Syrup. This is the key bit that I made up BY MYSELF. Measure about two spoonfuls in, or just tip the tin in and guess. You might as well. You're ill.
- Get some hot chocolate powder. Make sure it's not a completely useless brand like Smart Price or something. That's a waste of golden syrup. Get something good like Cadburys or Galaxy. Or whatever. I use the FairTrade stuff, which is very tasty and is kind to farmer people. Or something. Stick in as much as you feel is necessary. Nobody will judge you for putting in more than the recommended amount in (especially if there's nobody else in the kitchen)
- Tip some sugar in. Remember you've already got the golden syrup in there, and whatever sweeteners came with the hot chocolate powder. But why not, you're ill! I stick in about two teaspoonfuls.
- By this time, there should be just enough time to pour in some cold milk. You should remember that this will affect the temperature of the drink, but there are extra steps you can take to make sure that bit's perfect.
- Pour in your hot water and stir to your hearts content!
- Leave standing/keep stirring until the marshmallows are completely melted. Otherwise they're pointless lol.

When Joseph and Mary finally arrived, Bethlehem was very busy
Evening :D
Skipped school (or at least, a couple of free periods lol) and went to town with a friends. We weren't looking for anything much, but we got some free chocolate off some guy.
I had to do a double take when I heard him lol. I was just like "Yeah, yeah free chocolate.. Wait- WHAT?!"
And he gave us two each! What a kind old man. Not that he was old. Or particularly kind, lol. He was just doing his job.
