The weekend was good. Raine and I both had good times with our folks. I went to the football with my dad. Blackpool played well, and managed to win - yay! Hopefully it'll give us some confidence. I really think we're got the ability to stay up. A few more wins in the run up to January, then we'll get some new players, and we should be home and dry.

Saturday was officially annointed 'shirt day.' I got a Blackpool shirt, then Raine came back with two early Christmas presents for me. They're my dream Christmas presents, too - Plain Lazy hoody's, one saying 'Give Peas and Chance,' the other, 'Make Tea Not War.' I have been searching for over a year for just these hoodies - you wait around for one, then two come along at once...I was supposed to give them back until Christmas, but I put them on and refused to remove them until my nagging won out.

Chris got a job today - go Chris. It's in a supermarket out in Garstang. It's all good - we're going to be able to eat next month;-)

We're hoping to get to the cinema to see 'Lions for Lambs' tomorrow. Wednesday means buy one get one free - always good!

I went and picked up some liquid latex...I never tire of telling people this (made for a great moment at my Grandparent's;-))...alas, before your mind runs totally amuk, it's for my dreads - it'll hold down the frizzy bits, make me presentable. Chris and I both put it on our hands earlier - we now have bald hands...it's certainly not a lie when they say it bonds to hair.

Finally, for the cooks. We had one of our favourite meals today. Salmon with leaks and mash potato. Make a sauce for the salmon and leeks: 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp clear honey; 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard, 1/2 juice of a lemon (good squeeze of Jif lemon). It's very tasty. Mix wholegrain mustard with your mash too - mustard mash's good with anything.
