Today Vicki brought in one of her rats so that she could take it to Beaumont to be "de-ladded" (her words not mine). And it was adorable, friendly, cute and spent time licking my fingers. Maybe its a possible pet for me in the flat? What with the space constraints and lack of time etc... The one is the picture is a Dumbo rat.

New pet possibly?

A happy Kiran
I am the happiest person ever today - I found a website selling egg replacement products. Ive now ordered whole egg replacer for baking, an eggless omelette and scramble mix and egg free mayonaise. ^^
Not only that but I start at 12 tomorrow. Wow happy days.
In celebration of this I am putting off work till 5pm and having celebratory tea.
PS - I am even happier now - Ive just found out that my student loan has been approved and just needs signing!!! *Bounce bounce bounce* PARTY TIME!!!

Food shopping
Ive just returned from a Sainsburys restocking mission and managed to buy plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit along with enough main meals, lunches and breakfasts for the whole week. For just under £25. Im proud and I think Ive done well. But considering ive been doing this for about 8 years (3 of those at uni). Most of the things Ive bought were from the basics range. You can get amazing things like brie cheese, cranberries, cream cheese, smoked salmon, chocolate tea cakes for brilliant prices. I love the idea that you can buy 'luxury' items and there isnt any difference between those and the expensive products. Even though Im a poor student I wont sacrifice food. Even my grandma has said she'll send me money if Im ever short on food.
Anyway with my lovely finds today I plan to make the following over the week:

A week of being 20 and German east Africa
There has been some lovely 2 weeks that me and Kiran spent together, during which she had time to attend one of my lectures as a secret guest, thereby witnessing one of my stereotypical history lecturers burst out singing the internationale in Russian in front of 200 people.
We also went to Birmingham to see Eddie Izzard, and while the man is not in the same form as in the 90s, he still packs a punch for sure.
In the evening of my birthday there was a dress up party, and I went believe it or not, as a Cardinal. Dont think Ive ever baptized that many strangers in my life before, havent baptized anyone at all before actually.I got really nice gifts, the highlight being the huge inflatable beer cooler, now that has to come to effective use soon, Thank you cutie x!
Oh, and Ive finished my work on the presentation about German east Africa during the First World War, due tomorrow at 1.

Student loan, student loan, does whatever a student loan does ...
Hi... So now Im back in London after a few nice yet busy days in Liverpool. The back to the future marathon on saturday night was epic and we rolled out some time after 4am. Good times. Unfortunately I didnt get back home till past midnight yesterday and after a crap nights sleep I am exhausted and fit for blogging and not much else. Somehow I still managed to waffle my way through the cardiorespiratory ISF.
I did some truffle shuffling though and have got 2 new t-shirts and a dress and have my eyes on a couple more which Ive reserved. Plus Ive seen something that'll be perfect for Martin's Christmas present. ^^
Ps the student loan should be on its way...Come to me lovely money and we'll go shopping together. Just you and me.
And yes I know I have a weird obsession with geeky t-shirts - I already have Spongebob, Princess Leia and Depeche Mode ones (Amongst many others)

Eddie Izzard
Went to see him as a birthday treat for Martin in Birmingham. He was amazing. Now we must get our 'cake or death' t-shirts!
The gingerbread latte eludes me
Over the past week I have been desperate to try the Costas Christmas Gingerbread latte. And yet every time I try it just doesnt happen - come to me my coffee and gingerbread liquid of niceness
Massive studying period over
Martin has finished his essay on Trench Warfare and Ive finished my 3 day assault on pathology. Maybe its time to have some fun? (At least when he wakes up!)
Lots of love
Kiran

Raaaar
Arrrrrrgh I am so angry. I hate the people Martin lives with so much - it makes me so furious. The people are so rude and loud and messy. And so disrespectful.
Exhibit A
On first meeting me late at night the very slutty girls made some very catty remarks.
"I bet shes not really your girlfriend, she told us she only seduced you tonight". Yeah like I would talk to them, I never even met them before. This is what they said the first time they met me. Just deliberately trying to stir up trouble. Well done Martin for telling them to go to the gym to lose the extra kilos.
Exhibit B
Mr Canada. An interesting enigmatic individual who lives next door to Martin. Firstly suggesting to Martin that he looks into dating websites to find himself a girl. On finding he does have a girlfriend asking whether he is faithful and how he manages it. This individual did have a girlfriend at one point but I believe they have split up now. Lucky escape for her I think.
Exhibit C
Refusing to learn Martins name - His name IS NOT Sweden.
Exhibit D
General loudness and messyness at all hours of the day and night. Bouncing a basketball against his door. I will pop that ball if I ever get my hands on it. Also bedhopping constantly - I dont think they ever go to sleep in their own rooms twice in a row.
I understand this may sound very unreasonable. I was once a fresher and very loud. But I knew what the limits were and I respected other people. It was helped by the fact that everyone I lived with was on the same course. But when you live with different people doing different things you have to respect them needing sleep and having to wake up early and make an effort not to disturb them too badly. For Martin I have promised to be on my best behaviour and not say anything to this classless bunch. I know he has to live there. But it just makes me so angry to see him treated so badly by people who clearly arent worth one tenth of him. I will try to keep my temper in check. Honest. But I would like to make it clear - no one messes with anyone I care about.

Poetry in motion
Observe if you will, this male individual. It is not Halloween nor is he moonlighting for the clan. He is attempting to change his bed sheets. Unfortunately he is unable to determine how this complex system works as allegedly this is different in Sweden. Shortly after this I had to intervene and change the sheets for him. It is frightening indeed to consider that this man lives alone and studies abroad, pays bills, is an uncle to four children. AND YET bedsheets are alien to him.

Last night
Martin is a very poor correspondent and Ill elaborate further on last night. We went to see Men who stare at goats, which I thought was very good and intelligent; Martin thought the plot was a little weak. This isnt just because I like goats. But I liked the use of goats as a symbol of the innocents in war.
Afterwards, we went to a Latin American restaurant called Las Iguanas at Liverpool one. It had an amazing atmosphere and a full mural picture of Rio and sugar loaf mountain along one wall. It was small and cosy with lots of red lighting and a nice spanish bar. I had a classic mojito and Martin had a Brahma beer. (I know there is a happy hour with buy one get one free on cocktails at some point during the day). We had totopos with sour cream to start and then chicken enchiladas and beef steak burrito. The food was amazing and very well priced. Missed desert though but I didnt have room for it anyway. One of the best restaurants I have ever been to.
The walk along the dockside was very romantic and extremely windy. Ihad hair like an afro afterwards. :)
