Didn't do a lot today, I have bought a notebook to jot down Christmas ideas though and found some bargain Christmas ribbon at 30p a meter in the local market.

Have ended up adding general winter stuff to it too do it's now my winter notebook.

Good some ideas for hamper contents though.

Went to the pub for a celebratory pint as my exam results have come through and DP's divorce has been finalised with paperwork delivered today. (The split was long before I came on the scene btw) so although not productive, was a generally pleasant day.

Wheely, there's a blood blister under the surface and it hurts to bend, but I'm amazed it's not actually bruised.

My hayfever still isn't going away. Not funny now!
