Trips, snow and....TV ads...

Cambridge. Yip, that's where I went on Friday morning until Saturday night. Over with my mum, cousin and auntie to look at Anglia Ruskin University. Got up at 3am on Fri mornin to make our way to Belfast International for our 6am flight to Stansted. It was painfully cold, and the snow was coming like a blizzard...yes, snow in November! Well, the cold in London was worse, like -10°. Waiting for the train, I don't think I could have shook much more, nor added any more layers. Arriving in Cambridge (I have NEVER seen so many bicycles in my life; literally EVERYWHERE), we found our Tenison Towers guest house. The woman owning that place was unreal, and couldn't have made us any more at home. She showed us the kitchen so we could make tea/coffee etc., and even told us "If the phone rings, just answer it." Then there was Francine! Well, this was a doll that 'lived' in our room! That's all I am going to say as I still have nightmares! Over the two days, other than looking around the uni, which was a really good, nice uni, I spent lots and ate far too much, but I probably shivered the calories away! Coming home, we where delayed in Stansted for almost 2 hours and hit with an epic blizzard when we did get home. A 45 minute journey from the airport home took almost 2 hours. At one point, we where kinda wonderin were we where....for the next 2 days, the snow continued, but hey...snowmen :D

Yip, I built a snowman and threw snowballs for my dog. It's called being in touch with your inner child!

And here he is....Mr. Chills himself. He even has a carrot for a nose and coal for eyes. I was proud! Yes his head is a little small compared to the rest of his body, but by then the snow wouldn't stick and each time I rolled the ball, the dog barked at it and tried to eat it. He really is a hopeless case...lol. The snow however did make work a bit....uncomfortable :(

Being cold outside tends to make ya stay in more and....watch more TV, right? So that's kinda what I did...watched more TV than usual. And OMFG! Who the heck comes up with the ads shown these days! OK, so the first really annoying one for me was the 'Go Compare' ads, which stars some opera singer who needs...well, sacked. They came on so long ago, but the recent one almost made me rethink my Egypt trip! But there are now so many more! Have you seen the ad for the Abbey insurance ad! Right, if some asshole reversed into me, made me spill my coffee all over myself, and then my car door got totally obliterated, I seriously doubt I would sit in the car watching with my mouth open and then break into song about my insurance company! I would jump out, scream at the dick in front, chuck the rest of my coffee over him while letting him know it was all his fault, and then take off down the road after the van...probably in the car, door or not! Then there is the Shreddies knitting Nannas!  The thought of me eating cereal 'knitted' by anyone truly revolts me. Sorry, but even the ads are...haunting! I haven't eaten shreddies since! The Phones 4 U ads too...what genius came up with the idea of a Japanese prison and why???! The Birds Eye Polar Bear is also kinda creepy. Every time I go to open my freezer, I expect him to be there, saying (in a creepy, deep, manly voice) "And Kylie, I'm watching you." Aaaagh! 

Occasionally however there are good ones, such as the Yeo Valley ad...so good! I love that tractor! And the Lynx ads...nearly all of those are good! But if they get any worse, I reckon I will stop watching TV...record the program, and watch it later. Or online! 

Soooo, I reckon that's me for this time....
