The past week's been pretty busy, cleaning here, babysitting there, dashing up to London and back in one day, chilling out with JJ and all that jazz. This week's Top 5 actually incorporates a great deal of what I've done recently and so without further ado, settle in for a most enjoyable ride.
ONE.
On Thursday I went with my mum to a meeting. Sounds lame but it was at the Ideal Home Show at Christmas, a massive Christmas exhibition at Earl's Court. We're doing a lot of work at the moment on the 2012 Ideal Home Show so we were super fortunate and got free tickets to the Christmas one (hello perks of the job). It was SO FLIPPING GREAT. We got there way early and walked all about and ooh-ed and aah-ed and I knocked over a wood reindeer by mistake. And we also bought a wreath haha. Then we had a meeting. At a champagne bar. With the wreath. It was the best meeting ever. I got so festive and came away so ready for it to be Christmas Day and then realised it's not even December yet and now I'm all worried that I'm going to peak too soon and by the time Christmas actually comes around, I'm going to be psyched for Easter. Anyway, here are the pictures I took. Prepare yourselves, you're going to be well jel, and you'll also find yourself feeling super-festive.

TWO.
I'm sure some of you have seen this week's wondrous additions to our family on Facebook. Hugh and my mother acquired two black kittens - they are so tiny and lovely. Their faces remind me of peas coz their eyes are all small and round haha. It was a brilliant afternoon when we went to collect them; they arrived in their little box from their cage, we signed for them, promised not to kill them and then ran off into the sunset. Also, my mother kept forgetting we had them in the back of the car and was driving like a maniac; they were literally flying about inside their box haha. They were called rubbish names at the centre, so the olds are changing them but they keep changing their minds, so at the moment, they're called The Black and The Brown, coz one is slightly brown haha.

| Wrestling with the box haha |
 |
| That's us, that's us, that's us, that's us!! |
 |
| "Mummy, look excited!" |
 |
| "Hugh, come over here and look excited"...... Hugh doesn't have much experience when it comes to having photos taken by me. My mother found this photo hilarious, braying with laughter in the foyer, tears pouring down her face hahahahaha. |
 |
| Oh my days, here they come! |
 |
| See, don't the eyes remind you of peas? Sort of? |

THREE.
I've been doing some work this week for Malmesbury Abbey bookshop, trying to put together a list of new stock that is a bit more current and appeals more to da yoof. In doing so, I have discovered, and rediscovered, some incred music. The new Soul Survivor Live album looks really good, as does Worship Central, but here are two of my favourites that fall in the not-worship-music-but-still-appropriate-to-sell-in-church-and-not-offend-anyone too-many-people. I first saw The Civil Wars on Jools Holland and promptly forgot about them. I was reminded of them by Great Mate TomPrice as I messaged about for people's ideas. This song is amaze. Her dancing is VERY ANNOYING though. Try to look past it haha.
This next one is delicious, and it's also grand coz they're all married and made a video in the snow and it's sweet.
FOUR.
I fear this is turning in to a rather cat-heavy post but I know that Pin has a great many supporters, admirers and well-wishers just dying to hear more of her antics. She has been very naughty this week. She eats all her food really quickly and then shouts at me all day for more, and regularly breaks into the other room where Lucy is eating and eats all her food too. This week she has discovered a new place to sit and has no regard for the repeated damage she is causing to the shape of the chair.
 |
| Yeah, this is happening. |
I then discovered her at her favourite watering-hole, a repeated choice, despite the fresh bowl of water laid on for her daily.
Pin's mischief is also fully rubbing off on Lucy, who used to be mental when she was a kitten and now this mentalness manifests itself as bizarre episodes of hyperactivity, where she clings to the bottom of the sofa and pulls herself along, or wraps herself up in her own tail, or sinks her claws into the feet of innocent passers-by.
Or she does this.
FIVE.
Found this in the front of a book while I was doing work experience at Malmesbury School. Inside the front cover, on the label where you write your name and class, someone had tippexed out the "Year" heading and written "Gay percentage" and then ranked previous owners haha.
Until next time, peer group.
