Instead, each Friday I'm going to record the things I've learnt in that particular week. A good thing to remember. So this week, I've discoved...
1. You can't substitute bread flour for plain flour when making chocolate chip cookies. The biscuits go flat and biiiiiig. Taste yummy. Look not-yummy.
2. Small girls should not be allowed to decide that they will wear a size 3 snugglesuit (all in one) to bed when they are 4 1/2 years old. Remember body-suits that buttoned below? Image if that bodysuit was 2 sizes too small and you get the idea.
3. Elwood moved its t-shirt manufacturing offshore to the child-labour supporting Philippines so we don't buy Elwood anymore.
4. Jennifer Garner doesn't shave her legs.
5. There is an American website called Please Rob Me that uses information from Twitter, Four Square and the street directory and lists the houses that are not currently occupied - just in case you want to rob them. They claim they are "raising awareness about over-sharing".
6. You should bury banana skins around the root line of your roses to improve the bloomage factor.
7. Express Post doesn't necessarily deliver metro to metro overnight. And there's nothing you can do about it.
8. No matter how particular you are about keeping finance records, if you use a shared spreadsheet with your colleagues the spreadsheet will not match the actual spend.
9. It is possible to do nothing and things will turn out okay in their own good time.
10. Waking your child in the middle of the night to go to the toilet so they don't wee the bed later is a total waste of time.
Now, back to work!
