As they say, a Weekend wasted is not a wasted weekend. However, I picked up a few nuggets of knowledge along the way

1) England now believe they are odds-on favourites for the world cup, after a win against Argentina, albeit a very good one.

2) Houses are very cold in November without heating

3) Never mind complaining about oil being $50 a barrel. Apparently, a barrel of HP printer cartridge ink would cost in the region of $495,000 !

4) Babies do not like tepid baths

5) The 15 pairs of trainers in my wardrobe is probably too many

6) Regardless of how wide and varied the selection of books in a shop is, I will invariably pick the 3 or 4 worst.

7) Mexican is once again my favourite food.

8) Stella is better than Kronenbourg

9) Do not burst a blister on your finger that isn't ready for bursting.

10) Glass shelves and baby foreheads do not make a nice noise when they meet.

11) Charity bookshops smell like old people

12) Planning for a birthday party and christmas dinner on consecutive days is a taxing task.

13) Madonna should give it up

14) Someone in Sony deserves a slap

So, all-in-all, a learning filled weekend !
