Time for a meme, I think. HT: As Cozy As Spring
What was I doing ten years ago?
I can remember that very clearly. I was nearly seven months pregnant with Star, and we were spending a week's holiday in Belgium. My Dad was suffering from terminal cancer and had just been moved into hospice care, but seemed to be doing better so we decided to take a much needed break. He died the day after we returned.
What are five (non-work) items on my to-do list today?
- Pick up library books.
- Buy yarn.
- Update my budget and accounts.
- Wrap Little Cherub's birthday presents.
- Buy or make a birthday cake.
- Marmite flavour crisps
- Salted popcorn
- McVities caramel digestives
- Bananas
- Chocolate
- Spend every summer by the sea.
- Take out lifetime membership of the London Library.
- Travel first class on trains and planes.
- Hire a personal trainer to motivate me to get moving.
- Buy a MacBook Air
- Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire
- Walthamstow, East London
- Chingford, East London
- Ilford, Essex
- Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire
Jobs I have had:
- Assembling TV aerial parts in an electronics factory
- Sub-post office clerk
- Trainee actuary
- Lecturer in medieval history
- Publisher's reader

I might play when I get my hand free from nursing baby, too much typing for one handed.
I had to look up Marmite. Fortunately wikipedia has a thorough entry.
Buy yarn! I wish I could join you. You have to tell me some of your favorite UK yarn shops so I can pass them along to my sister.
Jennifer, I buy yarn either from a small specialist retailer in our town, or on the internet - where I shop largely by price! Often I am able to find what I want quite cheaply on ebay. Of the bigger internet stores, Angel Yarns seems pretty good.
