I'm knackered

Oh my, I'm sooooooo very tired this morning. I think I probably only managed to get about three hours of sleep last night. We went to bed at 11.00 pm last night, and the Hunny always falls asleep within two seconds of his head hitting the pillow. This really annoys me as it can take me up to several hours to fall asleep. Anyway, he falls asleep and starts snoring as usual. It always starts of fairly light... but then progressively gets louder and louder. Sometimes his snoring becomes far too irritating to bear and I have to suppress the urge to 'accidently' kick him out of bed. Well, it's either that or cover his face with a pillow!

Ready Meals are Evil

All ready meals are evil... even M&S ready meals.

Last week one of my colleagues in Team Logistics bought some ready meals from M&S to heat up for lunch because they were on special offer for buy one get one 1/2 price. I think he had the macaroni cheese and it smelt really nice.

So yesterday morning, I decided that I wanted something hot and tasty for lunch, so I popped into M&S on the way to work and bought myself a been cannelloni and spaghetti bolognaise from their ready meal selection. It came to a bargainous £2.98, and I could hardly wait for lunchtime to arrive.

Lunchtime came. There was a long queue for the microwave. In this cold weather, everyone seems to want to stay in at lunchtime and heat up leftovers from dinner the night before. I take my place in the queue for the microwave and eventually finish nuking my beef cannelloni and take it back to my desk so that I can eat and surf at the same time. The beef cannelloni was nice, but it filled me up too much (and it wasn't even a huge portion). I dread to think how many calories it contained and I'm sure it had lots of msg in it. I felt completely stuffed and really lethargic for the rest of the afternoon. So much so that I had to forgo dinner in the evening.

I still have the spaghetti bolognaise in the fridge at work, but I can't face the thought of eating another ready meal so soon, so I'm going to leave it and eat it for lunch on Monday instead.

Blogspot or Xanga?

Hello

This is my first post on Blogspot!

I usually blog on Xanga at www.xanga.com/pookybearcheung, and have been doing so since 2003. But now I fancy a change, and thought I'd give Blogspot a go and see whether I prefer Xanga or Blogspot. See which is more user friendly and which gets more visitors. Not that I'm the kind of blogger who is obsessed with trying to get as many visitors onto their site as possible. I'm just curious that's all, so this is kind of like a little experiment!
