Too much soup

Last night I made a soup from my halloween pumpkin. I added some chicken, other veg, coconut milk and chilli and had it for dinner with crusty nut bread. So far so lovely.

Then today for my lunch I ate a Waitrose French Onion fresh soup, which I bought becuase it was reduced to 20p in the supermarket last night.

And tonight I have to eat the pumpkin one again because I made far too much and it is now taking up space in the fridge. It is... just... too much SOUP! I can't go on like this.

Last night I forced Nick to watch The Virgin Suicides. I couldn't be bothered to read the book (I know! Philistine!) so watched the film instead. He fell asleep half way through but I made it to the VERY DEPRESSING and POINTLESS end. Honestly, I thought it might be darker and funnier. It was just quite boring.

I feel the onset of a cold. My nose is positively dripping liquid goo and my glands are feeling like little cherry tomatoes in my neck. Ahhh great. Illness. I doesd myself up on Echinecea & Rosehip this morning although I don't know what the rosehip bit is supposed to do.

My roots are now about 2 inches long. They don't show too bad as I tie my hair back normally but this is the longest I've let them get in a loooooong time. I am trying not to be too vain about it as I've felt too skint to go to the hairdressers recently but I think I may have to cave and get it done very soon. I'm scared I'm becoming a high maintenance woman. I have stopped using fake nails though becuase that cost £40 a pop which was horrendous really. I could afford it at my last job but not here (sniff).

Last night it got dark at 4:40pm!! What is this evil? I know the clocks have gone back but it shouldn't be allowed to just TURN INTO WINTER OVERNIGHT! Gah! Oh, how I suffer.
