Day 5 in the Cold House

Gone a bit Big Brother with the title!

As it suggest, I am day 5 into my cold! It is ridiculous! It’s not even a “I can survive work cold”, I literally feel like crap and only just managed to go outside yesterday. I do feel better than I did earlier in the work, but it hasn’t shown any signs of shifting. I’m probably gonna jinx myself in saying this, but I’m kinda glad that if I am gonna have a cold this Christmas, that I get it now rather than on Christmas day.

So, what have I been up to in my sick bed. Well, I have now managed to watch the complete first season of Made In Chelsea on 4OD. I don’t particularly like the 4OD player, cause I find it quite slow and annoying, but the one on youtube is even worse, because it usually freezes at some point in the episode, I have to refresh it, then I have to watch adverts with the sound of the show in the background. So I might just start watching it on the 4OD player instead. I have also been watching a lot of New Girl, as I got a surprise in the post on Tuesday, when the Season 1 boxset arrived. I didn’t win it, if that’s what your thinking, its a “I order way to much online and completely forgot I pre-ordered it in October” situation! It really annoys me that non of the things that I pre-order actually ever arrive on the day they are released. I’m pretty sure the one that came for my Sister is The Dark Night Rises for me for Christmas and that didn’t come till Tuesday either. I don’t think it’s the companies we order from, cause I use lots of different ones, it’s just our fricking post.

I had to make a really annoying phone call this week. And I had to do it during the worst part of my cold, so let’s just say the people on the other end didn’t get the nicest of tone from me. I am just completely at a dead end with trying to get this situation sorted. It’s not anything serious but it’s basically I think I’m paying too much tax, but it’s not the tax office fault, they have actually been quite helpful with me and confirming a lot of what I thought. I would be more worried if I wasn’t paying enough, but seeing how much I paid for the same job a few years back, I think I am paying to much. I just hope I can get it sorted soon.

So, there you go, my week in review, riveting isn’t it!

Desert Of The Day: Ben and Jerry’s in Core Karamel Sutra. Literally heaven in an ice cream tub shaped form!
Nail Varnish Of The Day: Two W7 ones, although my nails are like stumps, I hope they grow before the Christmas do! I have W7 Mosaic and Salt ‘n’ Pepper. Good thing about having a cold is that I can’t smell the fumes from nail varnish!

Let’s Rename This Sofa

Well hello chums!, while this is a Miranda excited start to this post, be warned, it’s a lie, as the rest of this post will be bloody miserable.

I am typing from the sofa, aka the sickbed! as I am full of a Christmas Cold. Even adding the word Christmas before cold couldn’t make it any less of a cold. So today, I am having my first day off work all year!

So, to keep myself from going insane and delirious from cold, I in all my wisdom, decided that the best thing to do would be to finally sit down and watch Made In Chelsea! I have so far watch the first 4 episodes of Season 1 on 4OD on Youtube (BTW, does anyone have loading issues with it, I had to keep refreshing it!). I literally had to stop myself from watching more episodes, I thought 4 was rather enough in my current circumstances. I shall probably watch 4 more tomorrow lol! What’s worse, just thinking about it, I think I could actually name everyone already too! How sad is that! Bet you can guess who my favourite is – just see the posts below.

As for the rest of my weekend, it has been spent pretty much watching films and the last of I’m A Celebrity. If you didn’t guess the Christmas film that I watched this weekend, it was Elf. I think it is one of the best newer Christmas films that has come out. Then I watched Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadow, which I really enjoyed (strange how it follows the same stories as the tv show???) and then today, after I prized myself away from Made In Chelsea, I watched The Vow, which is a film I wanted to see when it with in the cinema, but it was basically only on for a week here, so I missed it.

I did put up the old Christmas tree this weekend. I am slightly concerned though that the damn thing is going to fall over, cause all I have to do is prod it a little and the thing wobbles like Pisa. Here is a rather fetching picture:

So that’s how it’s been going down!

Thought Of The Day: 4 episodes of Made In Chelsea in one go is more than enough for any normal human being!
