Partly I'm busy writing; partly I'm trying to preserve my sanity.

[whatho]

I'm currently operating on an 'If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all' policy. My mood flips over every half an hour or so, and mostly all I'm inclined to share on LJ is Whinge, which I'm scared is making you all hate me. So I'm being quiet instead. But I might come back with a recipe involving instant gravy. I don't know yet. And maybe something about the telly.

Feel free, from my POV, to whinge as much as you want. I approve of whining - better out than in ;)

Thank you, that's kind. Probably I should try to think of things to say that aren't a whinge as well. Probably it would be nicer for everybody.

You are not making me hate you. I am not talking to people at the moment, I am worried that I am making EVERYONE think I hate them. But I don't. I don't like instant gravy.

Oh no! I didn't mean whenever someone isn't talking it means they hate me. That would be an uncomfortable way to live. I meant more because I'm being insufferable. Now I'm worried about making people think I think they hate me. LET'S GO ON THIS WAY FOREVER.

(This is curried instant gravy. I would live on it if I were less ashamed.)

You're not being insufferable, but I would tell you that more often if I wasn't being rubbish, so that is how it's my fault.

I have a new bathroom now, but it is in my shed, not by bathroom and it doesn't work because it is in boxes BECAUSE PLUMBERS ARE SO HORRIBLY IMPOSSIBLE.

I'm kind of intrigued by the curried instant gravy, I must admit. But I imagine it's not as good as it sounds.

A bathroom in boxes is QUITE a sad thing. It's so grown-up though. Buying a bathroom and having delivered. I am quite impressed. I hope some plumbers come. I COULD TRY AND PLUMB IT FOR YOU, I really couldn't.

Sometimes the curried instant gravy is SLIGHTLY grittier than most people would find desirable. Technically it's curried vegetables and it only becomes gravy at the end. I am overemphasising the gravy.

It is quite grown up, my bathroom is just so awful that I had to buy a new one, and I cried the first time I tried and had to leave, so the second time I took my mother with me and coped better.

If you genuinely give me a time and PROMISE TO SHOW UP I will let you plumb my bathroom. At the moment someone who SHOWS UP is the height of my hope.

I am desperate for the curried gravy thing recipe now please. (I probably can't make it. I have no cooker. Life is very difficult without plumbers. I might learn kidnap, not plumbing.)
