Back to normal

wiseheart... or what counts as normal in our house anyway.
- Make a food run because there isn't enough bread in the house - check.
- Buy too much bread/rolls/whatever because you've visited several shops and each one had something you couldn't resist - check.
- Buy completely unnecessary craft supplies because you can't resist pretty craft paper - check.
- Bake a cake because you've forgot about the quark you bought when it was on sale two weeks ago and now had to be used up - check.
- Call H. on the phone because you could wait for family to initiate contact till your funeral - check.
- Watch some crap telly and use up all the free time you could have put to much better use (like crafting or writing) - check.
- Fall asleep over the crossword puzzle after all this, only to be waked up by the ringing of the phone (a call for Mum from a lady friend) - check.
Other than that, I gave the self-repaired puncher a try and it dutifully cut out five perfect circles from the thick, mirror-surfaced cardboard without problems. Phew! Of course, had I managed to find the dratted cardboard yesterday, I could have spared me the whole misery with the puncher, but I had not. Despite digging up half the craft cupboard. But that's Murphy's Law for you.
