Kick ass role models who moulded me – Daria!

Having a new year party? These cupcake toppers are very cute!

A must-read for cat lovers, this is the sweetest, funniest and generally just the best thing I’ve read on The Guardian for a long time

NUTELLA STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. This is not a drill.

Hilarity from Charlie Brooker on breakdancing Mickey, this years Christmas must have presents, and why robots are at least 1000 years away from enslaving humanity

    LOL Love Cake Wrecks for a good giggle! I don’t trust any company that is owned by facebook as they have track record of not understanding privacy. They’re also quite clever and only roll out these policies when you’re so entrenched and invested in using the technology that it makes it hard to leave πŸ™

      Very true Lorraine. I notice Facebook doing more and more irritating stuff such as using friends who liked ASOS back in the day to promote every offer of theirs that comes up, and even promoting completely unrelated brands in my feed. I just hide all the stories. With Instagram I could stop using it, but Facebook is very entrenched in my life!

    I absolutely idolised Daria when I was younger. I think you might like this http://lizzie2404.tumblr.com/post/38235898497/d4dddy-dibujitamix-daria-jane-would-be-31#notes

    Also that cat story on the Guardian made me teary-eyed. My cats will be turning 7 while I’m in Edinburgh and soon they will be transitioning from boisterous young boys to the more mellow older cats and I’m very sad to be missing that. πŸ™

      Thanks my dear!! I’ll take a look. It’s sad that you’re missing their birthday but I’m sure they’ll be around for a good long while yet!

    Bahaha the cake wrecks. You also made me giggle with the “this is not a drill.” Those nutella-stuffed cookies mean *business*. My mom always made those pecan snowball cookies and I hated them as a child. Maybe I’d like them with my more sophisticated adult palate…;)

    I’m so bummed about Instagram. Then again, I don’t think I ever take a picture worth selling. But it’s just like, c’mon. Does everything have to be so greedy and Big Brother-y? Great round-up!

      Thanks Jorie! I don’t know what to think about Instagram anymore… unsure about what to do!
