My TV Addiction and Tescos

Tonight was a Friday and a quiet one by my standards. No drinking, no eating out, no meeting up with anybody. I just went straight home at 5.30pm without a single deviation. It kinda helped that I had a headache and didn't feel like doing anything.

A bit of MSN never hurt anybody and my Friday night chat was with Katie discussing our TV watching list. Not having a TV in my current living arrangement lends to a slight difficulty but that problem is overcome by the beauty that is the internet.

I am somewhat a TV addict. It's always on in the background and it played a huge role in my upbringing. The best baby-sitter by far. I usually can tell what day of the week it is by seeing what is on prime time. I miss having a TV and I'm scared that it will alienate me with all these unfamiliar shows when I get back home :`( Anyway, the whole reason why I'm saying all of this is that I wanted to watch 'Brothers and Sisters', a TV show that Kt has really gotten into. She directed me to an official website where I could watch all the episodes for FREE and I got really excited...... until the page loaded and said that only viewers in the USA could watch full length episodes.

I told Kt this and she got very upset. Oh well, there are other 'avenues' of obtaining such information.

Another thing that happened today was that a Tescos Metro opened for business downstairs of our apartment block. YAAAAAAAAAY!!! Our apartment complex is a little isolated and although a substantial shopping centre isn't too far, it is a bit of a bitch to put on all your freaking clothes just to get some basic food supplies. Now I can go downstairs in my almost-pjs if I ever feel like having a snack! So I lied a little. I did have a Friday night out at Tescos. And I couldn't leave without buying something, so I came back with this:

Kinder Surprise Happy Hippo Biscuits!!! Smee ripped opened the packet before I could photograph it. Too cute to not buy them. I can see myself wasting much money at Tescos.


Hippy didn't mind us devouring one of his own.


I think Kinder Surprise really need to review their biscuit design, especially since it's target market are children.

On a totally different note, I hope to be seeing Mary Poppins the musical this weekend!!
