I know it has been done elsewhere, but I intend to make this a feature for 2007, it's my resolution.
Shopping list Number 1 found at Tesco Knocknagoney.

There are a couple of thoughts I have about this, firstly I have no clue what Raffins Ashers is, it's obviously important, it's got a cloud around it.. This list appears to be collated by an elderly person with time on their hands, the items are not that important, and certainly this isn't the 'Big Shop'. So Lucozade Sport seems to be the misfit item here, paper,lottery,crossword puzzle book all fit neatly with my mental image, but Lucozde Sport and perhaps bananas throw me off slightly.
Although the list seems to be written in at least 2 hands, so maybe that explains the misfits.

So it's all over, Christmas was my usual mix of driving up and down the M1 and eating and drinking copius amounts of food and drink.
In between I spent a day and a half finishing our bathroom. I got professionals to do the tiling and plumbing and in my head they were going to leave the bathroom in perfect order for us to start using it again. I was naive to say the least. We got porcelain tiles, normal tile drill bits dissolve when trying to drill in to the damn things. I ended up getting diamond tipped hollow drill bits at 20 odd quid to the job. Each hole took at least 5 minutes to drill, using a water spray to dampen the bit and keep it cool.
The bath panel took me almost 5 hours to fit, using an electric plane to take a quarter of a mil off each time, I was determined to have no gaps, no easy task when there doesn't appear to be a straight surface in our house.
Here are a few snaps of the finished article.

I got a gorillapod in my christmas box, I have been attaching it to every available surface. It's a great yolk altogether.
