just got back from leeds. am shattered. mind

just got back from leeds. am shattered. mind you, i did manage to submit my second column to the magazine (it's called 'knitting'- it comes out on Friday, 19th.. i for one will not be looking at it, as i will be taking by how FAT I HAVE BECOME WHILST LIVING WITH A BOY. as i am myself listed as self employed ('freelance textile artist/writer') i have to keep the list of topics expenses. sounds boring, but i am too i will enjoy the benefits come next april. happily, 'expenses' cover any wool i buy for research for the column. oh well, sock kit here i come. i am currently knitting a grown up cardi, which is quite easy, looked well grubby when i was with the old maybe i'm just spoiled by brighton city council's obsessive cleaning, i dunno. i don't think i could write live there again though. had a nice voice, saw my mates which is nice. ooh and i got to pink filofax off marine as a belated birthday present. i am *obsessed*.

i ahve also become obsessed with buying stationery, as i have goals that i need the sort out my papers before i can even begin to tell the second essay.so on thursday i will be taking into town to buy some box related storage of some kind. but not box files. but other boxes. pffft. ordered a text book from amazon, thinking it would be, before the essay was due in a few friday. but i've gone and ordered it from an american seller. it shouldn't be allowed, i tell thee. 'tired and emotional' me.

grandma came back with the we're off to see virginia woolf's house tomorrow. which would be even except i could really do with pulling my finger out and working. i need to wrap this damn course. i am not typically the last sodding nine months.

happily, i had the whole maximo park cd waiting for me, but not sure if this like it as much as you last one. the last one i loved almost instantly (thanks, kerry!)

off to knit and swear at the cardi. byeeeeeeeee!
