So.

Does anyone know how to tell if plants are dead or not? Because - I have (had?) a houseplant. Which I promptly managed to leave outside for a week in temperatures of about -5 Celsius at night. And now its...kinda brown and the leaves are all drooping and it smells a bit funny. I've brought it inside and given it water and it has light but it doesn't seem to want to perk up - anyone else think I killed it? Cos I do and ugh. Now I feel guilty for lettting it die. It was my favourite plant!

Yes, I am a sap.

In other news, my mother is coming to visit me tomorrow. UGH is all I can say to that, seeing as I share a house with a mate who knows me far better than the parent does. And there are all sorts of things that my mother needs to not find out about so needless to say, I am panicking.

On the other hand, she's bringing me a heap of food. And as I have been living on four slices of toast a day for about three months now (works better than any diet, I swear), this is Very. Good. News. Some of it is even home cooked and she rocks at that! But oh God, the potential for disaster is great and I'm not sure if free food is worth the trama. *bites nails* I think I might have to start drinking early tomorrow and just keep going. I can tell her its a tribute to George Best or something. Maybe.

Ugh.

I am of the opinion that when things start to smell a bit funny, it's time to throw them out. Unless they're people, in which case you turn the hose on them and then hand them a stick of deodorant.

I have had the verdict from The Mother, who Knows about these things. It is indeed, dead. And yet, I have not thrown it out. Why? Ummm...I'm really lazy. But it'll have to go tomorrow as it really is starting to look (and smell) disgusting.

And man, I really want to turn a hose on a person. They don't have to smell bad, I just think it'd be hilarious. Heh.

Hey, how was the weekend? Did you survive the visit from mother? Did she feed you? Did she discover anything she shouldn't have? ;)

Mwhahaha! She just left a few hours ago - and yep, she bought me about £150 worth of food! And cooked two proper meanls for me and my housemate, and paid my phone bill. And didn't find out anything she shouldn't and gave me some cash. Hurrah! *dances* :D

Dude, I have so much food right now neither I nor my housemate can fit anything else into the fridge. Or the freezer. Or the cups/glasses cupboard because I've been forced to commandeer it for storage. It's crazy!

I? Am sooooo not complaining. *beams*
