On Saturday we had a few friends over for a bite to eat at our table that’s too small to have 4 friends over for dinner (which we only discovered having had them over and sat down). Lasagne, chips and garlic bread in case you’re wondering. Anyway, 2 bottles of wine later, I had the… [Continue Reading]

January 25, 2010 By 1 Comment
Today, I spent far longer than any normal man should trying to track down Hoover Bags for the Argos Value Range hoover that came with the apartment. I hadn’t changed or emptied the bag on it in the year since we moved in, which I didn’t think was that big a deal, but apparently it… [Continue Reading]
