Come Dine with Me

I've had a very lazy day today... I whipped my wellies out and washed my car when there was a breif interval of sunshine and then when it came to rinsing found out that the hose pipe was ripped so had to resort to chucking buckets of water over Francisco, only most of it ended up on me.

These are just boring green Dunlop wellies that I decided to jazz up for the Leeds festival a couple of years ago with a bit of acrylic paint.

For the rest of the day, I watched a lot of Come Dine with Me which is completely addictive. For those of you who don't know (i.e. people who live outside of the UK or those inside of it but with actual lives) there are five contestants and they all have to host a dinner party and the four guests rate them at the end from 1 to 10. The winner gets £1000. Anyway, there was one particular group that really wound me up because this complete and utter cow was giving everyone really low scores (her highest was 3) to try and secure her chances of winning. Fortunately at the end CDWM stepped in and told her that this was not allowed and unless she voted again, she would be disqualified. She didn't end up winning. Hooray!

"Unless she invites Brad Pitt to dinner, I'm not going to give her more than three.. Hahaha"

Then, this evening I got bored and when that happens I do things like put fake tan on (I'm terrible at doing it) or crimp my hair. I had to nip out to Tescos, left it down and got some very strange looks indeed. Whilst in this state, I find my heavy, floppy hair suprisingly easy to deal with so I thought I'd give a "hair bow" a try. I think with crimped hair it does look a little bit like Minnie Mouse crossed with a Fraggle and definately looks better with straight hair. If you want to find out how to do one that actually looks like a bow rather than something from the Disney store, see here.

Also, I am desperate for a new camera for my Birthday which is next month (I'll be Twenteen), because mine is terrible - with the flash on I look ghostly and with it off, it's all blurry. Most annoying... So if anyone would like to share with me what sort of camera they use, or recommend one for me I would be ever so greatful!
