My 200 Calorie Diet.

Kidding. Kind of.

I have the flu. I have the mid flu. The sort where I can still get up and walk around my house, but it's definitely not a cold. I feel cold, but I actually have a fever, I've been padding around in two pairs of fleecy pyjamas, a cow print sleep-suit, a dressing gown, snuggie and quilt. It doesn't help that it's -5*C outside. I'm sleeping upwards of ten hours a day, and eating one cup of powdered soup and - if I'm feeling especially hungry - a slice of dry toast. Incase you couldn't tell, I'm feeling awfully sorry for myself.

I could be productive and finish my English/Modern Studies coursework (I have 4000-5000 words to do for each), but instead I'm watching old episodes of Have I Got News For You on YouTube. So, it's not all bad!

It's Christmas soon! I have nearly finished my shopping;

Mum - Perfume (Seventy five bloody pounds!) and Cath Kidston cups.
Dad - Professor Brian Cox DVDs and Books (My Dad's into physics and I love Brian Cox. Everybody wins!)
Step Father - Bruce Springsteen CD, Jedward CD (joke, I promise) and golfing socks (since I stole all of his when the snow was really bad).
Dad's Girlfriend - Master Chef Cookbook (Would it be cheeky to bookmark the dishes I especially want her to make? I kid, I kid.)
Sister: Eddie Izzard DVDs
Secret Santa 1: Sherlock DVDs and Books (Benedict Cumberbath, wow. It's like someone went into my head, looked for my idea of perfection and crafted it into man.)
Secret Santa 2: Postsecret Book

I still have to get my Gran and Papa something - they're my favourite people in the world, but the hardest to buy for!

I watched every episode of Fortysomething back to back the other day, and it was marvellous. Hugh Lauire and Benedict Cumberbatch playing father and son? How could it not be amazing!
