Back From The Last Place That I Wanted To Fake

I had work today, 08:30-14:00. It was a pretty standard Saturday shift. I tend to like my Saturdays; twisted, I am aware of this.
After work I went into town, got the bus with Martin and Clare. It was a good bus journey.
Then I went into Boots to find things, and I'm pretty sure I didn't come out with anything I went in with the intention of getting. Brilliant.
I've been trying not to spend lots of money, its so hard when I have money, but I'm doing good.
I bought a big plastic box from Pound Stretcher on my way home, and it was insane walking home carrying it in the scorching heat. But yes.
So, my big plastic box. I bought it for when I start moving, I have so much "stuff" and so a box was a good idea. I've learnt from this move that I DO NOT need all my "stuff" when I go to uni. Learning curve.
Anyway. I got my ingredients for my Lemon Drizzle Cake, going to make it tomorrow, late-ish so it'll be fresh for my guest.Pretty basic recipe...
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C/gas mark 4
2. I use an oblong tin which measures 9" x 8", lined with baking parchment. could also be made in a round tin, but size of which, I'm not sure!!
3. Tip all cake ingredients into large mixing bowl and beat for 2-3 minutes; mixture will drop easily off spoon.
4. Spoon mixture into tin and smooth with back of spoon. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden & firm to the touch.
5. Beat together icing ingredients and pour over the cake while it is still HOT.
6. Cool in tin & cut into squares.
7. YUMMMMMM :)!!!!

Surely I can't screw that up?
God, get me being all 1950's housewife.

I fell asleep earlier (I'm getting into the habit of naps; not wise) and then woke up at about 22:30 when I got a text and thought, ahhh it'll be fine, I'm sleepy enough to go back to sleep and sleep through, and then BAMMMMMM thirsty much?
FML.
So, you know as soon as you get up for a drink, you're done for, you're up for a while!
...no word of a lie; here I am, wide awake. Never mind.
In my spare time this evening I have put all my "stuff" into the big box I bought, well most of it anyway.
My room seems tidier for it. Two birds, one stone.
Anyway, although I could very easily stay up all night listening to Tegan and Sara I should try the sleep thing again, I'm starting to yawn again (or squeak as those who have experienced my "yawns" would refer to it).

One more game of solitaire, Bones, then sleep.
Perfect.
So, if I remember, I will take a picture of my Lemon Drizzle Cake tomorrow and put it on here. Lalalala.
Ta-ra.
