I used the Sam Stern cookery book that i got for cheap from the book people. I made scrambled eggs out of it (simple i know, but one has to start somewhere), and they were delicious. I ate them with buttered toast, and they were beautiful and sweet. I also tried making an omelette from the book, but i think i preferred the taste of the scrambled eggs!

I went to wilkos in Chelmsley Wood yesterday and picked up the AA book of family walks (for inspiration) and a microwave egg cooker. essentially you crack an egg into it, pierce the yolk and cook. You should end up with a soft boiled egg. It wasn't as good as a traditionally boiled egg, but as it took 45 seconds, instead of minutes heating up the water, then 4 minutes for the egg, it was more energy efficient.

I am still thinking about me camping in Gorsley and keeping things fresh. I'm sure i could nab some space in Linds' fridge. I don't really need much. Maybe a place for some butter and milk. I hope that they are going! I'm pretty certain that they haven't boked it yet. I kind of wish i was going to be in the same field as them, but the extra exercise will do me good. I'm thinking that perhaps over the winter i may invest in a cool box and leisure battery...

I did ok with my tma, a little over 200 words left. Tonight i'm going to go through a find references for those things that i couldn't find them for. It's boring, but needs to be done, and is a nice break from writing. I did a lot of editing and moving sections around over the weekend, so hopefully it is a better essay. I may leave where it is after then until the tutorial on Saturday. I can easily write 200 words in a weekend, so i am pleased. I've started on the last block now. A bit nervous about the exam, i have no clue what i should be looking at to revise, but hopefully the tutorial will give me some thoughts.

Still waiting to get my 50 quid from Yougov, so i can go and buy a new bike!

I'm going to have to get the windscreen on my car replaced at some point. It's now at the limit for repairs... i really do need to save for car repairs...

I went to wing yips on Saturday. There is an almost overwhelming variety of food! I was sorely tempted to go to wing wah for a buffet lunch, but remembered that i am trying to not eat out this month, in an attempt to get that credit card bill down.
