    I've been getting some more study in lately, but today and yesterday hasn't been great for it. I'm getting a tiny bit done, but I always feel let down with myself for not doing as best I can. I think this evening is just gonna be one for chilling out and playing some games, I'm really ****ed sideways :o

    Oh god that's horrible Reiketsu! :( It's heartbreaking when something happens to a dog, they're family, plain and simple.

    Yeah, she only had surgery on Saturday to remove her womb and she wasn't so good coming out of the anesthetic. So to have her needing more surgery makes me apprehensive. She may have kidney damage from the infection she had (pyometra) but we dont know yet. Shes 10 and a half so getting on a bit. But she is bright enough and her mood is good, so fingers crossed really :).

    Not a huge amount, not been feeling so great today, but just generally being excited for Christmas, got most presents sorted, just need to get something for my mum now. Only 2 Japanese classes left for this term, and then I'll have to see about whether I'm free for the next ones in January or not.

    I can't wait :D.

    I'm currently waiting on a delivery of oil that hasn't bloody shown up. I'm cold and I'm hungry. Today is food shopping day so not a thing in the cupboard and I can't leave the house. Thinking of ordering in but can't really justify the cost atm!

    I always keep some Aldi instant noodles for emergencies :pac:

    Today was my big shopping day too, gonna make a huge pot of curry again, but my housemate really did a number on the big pot. Stuff seriously burned into the bottom of it, it's been through the dishwasher, soaked and scrumbed and now soaked again, so I'm hoping I can actually get the crap moved from the pot before it's time to cook. :(

    I usually have something like that but not a thing this time. I've been up since half 7 and all I've had is Space Raiders :pac:.

    Ah that sucks :(. I hope you can get it sorted!

    What material is on the inside of the pot?

    I've had my fair share of careless housemates. Had pots with something like castiron on the inside and the burnt food was never going to go anywhere. Anything that was stainless steel was always recoverable though.

    No clue, some sort of black material but it doesn't look like non-stick and ain't peeling off like it would if it was non-stick. I may have to replace it.

    I think I've managed to mostly get the crap off the pot... think it'll definitely need replacing

    I value my cookware too much to let my housemates abuse them. I have my own large frying pan, small frying pan, three baking trays, cake tin, muffin tin, casserole pot and slow cooker. I bought them for myself and they are cared for and always impeccable.

    I share the pots with them because they could survive a nuke, but thats pretty much where it ends. They can continue to abuse the already abused stuff that's in the kitchen and complain that their food sticks to everything, but that's not my problem.

    Pots are precious things! I am glad it is now only myself who can be blamed for ruining them.

    Ah nooo! :eek:

    So to hear that Somnus. Really looking forward to them myself. Is it a history exam? If so, then going to Sabaton would be quite a plus! ;)

    Haha, unfortunately not. Science. I definitely won't be able to go to Sabaton, working a late shift in work too which I couldn't get changed. Really holding out for Behemoth though. Would love to see them live!
