I stomped off to the snowdome last night and spoke to someone in ski hire. they felt that there woudln't be a problem, adn that someone with size one feet had used the size 3 boots. I just need an extra pair of thick socks. She also said that the botos came up quite small, and that because they were the sort fo size that doesn't get much use, they wouldn't be as stretched as the larger sizes. I looked at the boot, and it did indeed seem to be a small fit. I couldn't try it on because i was weating mules (ie not socks) but i think i will give it a go. So that might be what i am doing next weekend...

I am getting panics about this weekend. I am going to visit Steve, btu part of the plan has changed. He forgot that it's his cousin's birthday and steve is going out, which means i will too. Unfortunately i still haven't go over my fear of crowds, especially crowds of men i don't know. I can feel my chest tightening already. I know that Steve understands, so i hope that it will go well. I do want to go down and visit. It also means that i have to stay over, and i am still anxious about that. I am just not comfortable with it. I don't know why...it's another of those irrational feelings that i have.

Some friday five.

1. Do you live in a house, an apartment or a condo?I live in my mums house.


2. Do you rent or own? Neither. But regular readers will remember that i am currently trying to buy a flat. Not with much success...


3. Does anyone else live with you? My mum.


4. How many times have you moved in your life? I have lived in Leicester (but i was too young to remember), three different houses in Sutton Coldfield. I lived in Warrington for a year, and Chesterfield for about 15 months. And then of course 3 different places when i was at uni.


5. What are your plans for this weekend? See above!

Want to know why the state of British music is so awful? Look no further than the very talented Nerina Pallot (who i have mentioned several times). She has a couple of moderately successful singles, and released an album which showed how much potential she has. She gets a support gig with Bryan Adams, which has the potential to introduce a lot of new fans to her music. What does her record company decide to do?

They delete her album. They also decide not to release a single for which the video has already been shot, and decide not to release another single which was recorded especially for this purpose (the song is not on the album).

Why? Well, my guess is that it is because it didn't shift as many copies as some of those pop idol crappy singles. But of course, if you are going to delete the album just after an artist has supported a major artist, what do you expect?

Im on call tonight, so i will probably miss the gym. I am aiming to go the fort and pick up some cd'rs for some angelfood i am doing, and looks at prices for mp3 players. Ok, so i'm not doing too well onthe money fron this month, but next month is nearly here. My discman does need replacing, and this could be a good answer.
