What a weekend i've had. It has been a funny one. I was just about to go upstairs to bed yesterday when i realised that i couldn't find my car keys. Thus panic ensued, and poor Fiancé and myself bickering at each other whilst tearing the house apart. It got to midnight and we were too tired to continue looking, so we called it a night and went to bed. Unfortunately, it wasn't to sleep, we both tossed and turned during the night worrying about where the keys could've got to. After a fitful night we got up and continued looking, and looking and looking. In the end, they were found to great relief (and lots of tears of joy)... I had put them down on thursday, on top of the washing machine, which had been on at the time and had shaken them towards the back. Phew. It leaves you feeling a) like a complete plonker and b) very very relieved.

We also went out for our gorgeous ritual saturday browsing day. Not far this time, though, as i was still worried about the keys (i worry too much). But we did manage to get a rather lovely bargain from a local charity shop... A bakelite cutlery set. Now, i love bakelite. Don't ask me why, but it has a nicer feel to it than plastic. Something more substantial. The best bit was, it was only £2.79! The box is shabby, but it's not the box that i'm going to be using ;-)

The library was another stop on our journey to take back some books, and this time we rented a DVD. The film was 'De-Lovely' which i have really wanted to see for a long time, but hadn't got around to. We're still waiting to watch it, hopefully tomorrow. I heart Cole Porter... You Do Something To Me, anyone?

After a brief rest, it was out yet again to the Swedish world that is Ikea as we needed another chair for the dining room (yay, flatpack). We also picked up a couple of xmas decorations, heavenly candles and a wonderful wicker chest which i've been wanting for ages. It is perfect for keeping things in by the sofa, knitting wool, jumpers, sewing equiptment etc. So, with the exception of the car key incident it has been a useful (if a little bit stressful) day. It is only 9.30pm, but i'm off to bed - i couldn't be any sleepier if i tried! Night night.
