My GF leaves the butter out, I have decided to just put it away rather than say anything each time I notice.
This is opposed to my initial internal reaction, which is to go mental :D

Don't even get me started on the toothpaste lid...

Have you tried spreading fridged butter? Even Lurpak spreadable really isn't good enough if your bread is fresh.

Butter will last a decent amount of time out on the side. It'll last longer in the fridge though.

The butter with olive oil in spreads just fine direct from the fridge. It still gets left out on the side though...

I don't like butter*, and really cold fruit not only tastes horrible, it hurts my teeth.

*I'll use low-fat spread very, very occasionally.

You can take the butter, then. I'll take Felicia Day.

I'm reasonably sure I win that battle.

Nah. Because as soon as she comes over, she'll want some toast. And you won't have any butter, and she'll leave you.

Nah, she'd want a different, more human type of butter. And I'm primed.

Is this the single most annoying thing ever? A close second would be filling the basin with soapy water and dirty dishes, then leaving it to get cold and scummy just in time for me to come and wash the dishes >:(

My good news this week is that my girlfriends mum seems to be on the mend after being struck down by a serious auto immune disease. Spent the weekend in Fife visiting the family and going back this weekend when we're hoping she might have been let out of hospital.

Also started working with the site services department at work and spent a very interesting day working in a construction area in the pouring rain laying cables and stuff. Was freezing cold and soaking wet when one of the Italian contractors came over and gave me an espresso he'd just made :) It was the nicest espresso ever although this may have been due to the weather conditions and the act of kindness.

Final yay...hometime!

Bahaahah! Use proper toothpaste instead of the horrible foamy mouth soap crap. Blurgh! Seriously though, I just don't like the way that blue stuff foams up. Prefer good old fashioned Colgate in a tube.

Talking about paying off debts, as of this week's pay-check I have officially paid off 10K of debt since I moved to Manchester 2 1/2 years ago! Still another 6.5K to go but this feels like a significant milestone and I'm pretty chuffed with myself for getting this far :)

Also, Supersonic festival in Birmingham last week was brilliant, and then getting to see Swans (my favourite band ever) play another 2 times in Leeds and Manchester was also fantastic... and catching throughsilver at the Leeds gig was Yay too :D

Those who've met me know I'm pretty Yay most of the time anyway, but these are special Yays for this month :)

Top stuff dude. I mentioned the awesomeness of the gig too.

New yay!: tax rebate for 2008-09 is on its way. That'll do nicely!

My girlfriend's parents are visiting at the moment. That's a yay, as they are generally pleasant, despite speaking no English whatsoever, bring goodies like German sweets and chocolate, and help out my g.f. with a bit of cash (in, err, Euros).

Just bought a secondhand copy of Super Mario Advance 2. That's a yay, as Super Mario World is still amazing even after twenty years (on the 21st).

It's better to have many containers which are safe to use in the refrigerator. It is not just that but also it will help for racking the food inside it. Imagine if you just put the food inside and it looks like a junk as it seem.
