Lots of things beginning with B

Really I'm just going to have to give up on making sensible coherent posts. Or anything orderly at all. I'll probably make a habit of just posting a stream of bibble a day - that way, it'll all get down on v-paper eventually. I could use the idea to keep track of my little goal/reward system. Having decided to stay at home for another 4 months, I'm horribly skint. I also have lots of bad habits and spend an unholy sum on plants and seeds. Therefore I'll save my Avon money, together with small cash bribes for each "good" day, and justify my green addiction like that.

Yaaaaarg.

We went to see Bill Bailey, which was brilliant.

malcygoff came to tea last night, which was also brilliant. We've missed him, and it was lovely to catch up.

Talking of catching up, we're having an open-house afternoon on New Year's Eve. I like to hide for the event itself, but you're all cordially invited to come over some time before 5 and have some drinks and nibbles. Maybe play Wii. We got Mario Galaxy, which is a lovely game, plus I traded in all my ex's old PS2 tat for Zelda in the Wii version.

Ben's had a stinky cold. Having a baby with a cold is a fresh hell, but he's better now.

I've noticed I have no sensible gauge of what is a reasonable favour to ask people. This leads to stress and worry. I blame my parents.

Squeak if you fancy coming over for the aforementioned munchies.

*boing*

If someone could ask you for it without making you feel awkward or annoyed, it's probably okay to ask someone else for it. Also, you can request more things for a baby than you can for yourself.

Ahhhh, these things are on a tricky sliding scale depending on how well, or how close you are to a particular person...what favour do you need to ask, and of whom? If you can't guage it maybe someone else is a better judge :)

Incidentally, just so you know for future reference...as far as I go on the favour front, always feel utterly free to ask...anything, any time, in any quantity xx

Ah, that'll be because there is no definitive guide. I guess it all depends on how well you know the people involved and the nature of the favour.
Typically though, friends will never be offended no matter how big the favour. Just so long as they have the option to say "no" without feeling too bad if they can't help.
